Legacy Machine Learning solutions have much to lose when clients learn an inconvenient truth: using two different-in-kind retargeters leads to demonstrably superior performance. For this reason, legacy vendors tout a “one retargeter” approach to programmatic advertising that doesn’t align with the lived reality of marketers. The one retargeter strategy is driven by a vendor’s internal business concerns, not by what’s best for their clients. If a single-vendor retargeting strategy were so superior and so powerful, why would a proper retargeting stack be such a threat to legacy Machine Learning vendors?

I’m going to look at, and then disprove, four myths around the choice of a single- or multiple-vendor retargeting strategy. And I’ll explain why sophisticated markers build programmatic marketing stacks.
