An ad exchange is a digital marketplace where publishers sell advertising inventory programmatically to advertisers in real time, enabling efficient media buying and audience targeting. Stitch, as a data integration platform, can be used by marketers and digital strategists to aggregate and unify disparate data sources—such as CRM data, website analytics, and campaign performance metrics—into centralized warehouses. This unified data environment enables more precise audience segmentation and performance analysis, which can then be leveraged to optimize bidding strategies and targeting parameters within ad exchanges. In practice, Stitch facilitates the ingestion and harmonization of data that informs decision-making on ad exchanges, allowing marketers to refine programmatic buying with richer, consolidated insights. Therefore, Stitch acts as a critical data backbone that enhances the effectiveness of ad exchanges by providing the clean, integrated data necessary for smarter, data-driven ad placements and budget allocation.
