PADN - Publishers Advertising Data Network

Supply chain vendors (AdStream, Specle, Qmuli) can show their users, in real-time, advertising placements that partaking publishers are expecting from them.

PADN streamlines and automates many of the existing copy chasing tasks - from identifying the supply chain and sharing the data to confirming the delivery schedule. This takes tasks away from both the publisher and media house. PADN updates records in corresponding AdDesk platforms giving the publisher visibility of the process.

Since PADN shares unique advertising referencing numbers, copy supplied via the PADN data route (via the vendors AdStream, Specle and Qmuli) will be automatically processed on reception and in most cases simply queued for human approval and automated release to the publishing platform.
