Google Marketing Platform is an online advertising and analytics platform developed by Google and launched on July 24, 2018.[1] It unifies DoubleClick's advertising services (acquired in March 2008) and Google's own advertising and analytics services.[2][3][4] Google Marketing Platform is mainly used by big advertisers to buy ads on the Internet.[5]
Google Ads (launched in 2000) and Google Ad Manager (launched in 2010) are not parts of Google Marketing Platform.[2][3][4] The three brands are complementary tools targeting different types of ad buyers and presenting slightly different features. However, the addition of Google Marketing Platform to Google's previous offers causes a lot of confusion for people looking to buy ads via Google.[6]
