Yahoo DSP
What it is
Yahoo DSP is a demand-side platform for advertisers and agencies buying ad space across other companies’ sites and apps. It supports planning, audience targeting, creative, curation, optimization and measurement for Connected TV, native, audio, digital out-of-home and display campaigns. Its audience builder combines Yahoo, third-party and advertiser first-party data to form people-based or contextual segments. Planning tools cover cross-screen TV, digital out-of-home, supply paths and audience insights. Yahoo Blueprint helps forecast and optimize campaigns, while advertisers can connect their own agents through MCP or APIs, use Yahoo DSP agents, or combine the approaches. The REST API supports programmatic management of campaigns, targeting, deals and reports. Audio inventory includes Spotify music and podcasts, plus partners such as iHeartMedia, SiriusXM, Acast and Libsyn. Yahoo describes TalonPro as an always-on ad-fraud avoidance solution and says third-party verification is also available. Pricing is on request; Yahoo directs prospective customers to contact its team.
