Beyond Meta and Google

Graduate beyond Meta and Google without giving up performance accountability.

This is the most crowded position on this page and the page says so. MNTN, Vibe, StackAdapt, retail media and the platforms themselves all sell incremental reach to saturated DTC brands, several of them with better commerce loops and a published incrementality case. What AdBuyMCP offers that they do not is a single audience definition spanning premium channels and the feed together, one exposure ledger to deduplicate them, and a causal engine that refuses to produce a lift number your spend cannot support. If you want a polished performance-CTV product today, buy one of theirs.

the job

Find reach the feed is not delivering, without giving up performance accountability.

That sentence is the whole brief for this package. The list below is who it is written for, at the level of detail that lets you rule yourself out in ninety seconds rather than in a first meeting.

  1. 01Post product-market fit, £20,000 to £100,000 monthly paid media
  2. 02Shopify, GA4 and conversion APIs in place
  3. 03Reusable creative and a working creative process
  4. 04Meta and Google saturated: rising costs, flat incremental return
How to read the bands

These are qualification hypotheses being validated with paid design partners, not published market averages and not a hard gate. Clearing every line is not the test; recognising the shape is. If you clear the budget band but nothing else, the seven channels will still compile and the fit will still be wrong.

The floor underneath all of them is the one on the pricing page: £10,000 a month is where a multi-channel plan starts working, whatever the advertised band says.

why it fits

Why us, for this job

The honest fit is the measurement discipline rather than the supply. A saturated DTC brand's real question is whether the next channel is incremental or is buying people who would have converted anyway, and that is a causal question that most platforms answer with attribution. This one answers it with a powered geo test or declines to answer it.

what that means on a plan

The mechanism is the same on every package and it is not a setting. One audience definition compiles into the native targeting each channel accepts; every compiled plan carries a fidelity score for how close the translation got and a lawful-basis manifest for what made it lawful; and the geo-lift engine refuses a causal claim the spend cannot power rather than producing a number to fill the slide.

The fastest way to test that argument is a real brief compiled live in the session rather than a worked example on a page.

the channels

The 4 channels this package usually runs on

A starting weighting rather than a restriction: any plan can fund any of the seven. These are the channels whose vocabulary suits this job, each with the score its own page publishes and the smallest line the plan generator will accept.

Two or three channels funded with enough weight to prove something beats a token line on all seven, and the plan generator enforces that rather than advising it: a line that cannot clear its channel floor is dropped and its budget redistributed with a note saying so. Vendor-side minimums are separate and bite later, at activation.

The other 3 channels, still available
the gaps

What is missing today.

4 things a design partner in this cohort would find in the first fortnight, named here instead. They are gaps rather than a roadmap: none of them carries a date, because a date would be a promise about a quarter and this is a description of today.

If one of them is disqualifying for you, that is the correct outcome of reading this page, and it is worth more to you than the paragraphs above it.

  1. 01

    No production Shopify integration and no server-side conversions yet.

  2. 02

    No new-versus-existing customer reporting, which is the reporting cut this segment actually runs on.

  3. 03

    No publishable incrementality case study.

  4. 04

    Competitors here are strong, well-funded and shipping. This is a considered second choice today, not a first one.

If one of those is the whole requirement, say so on a call and we will tell you to wait rather than sell you the pilot.

Number 4 of 4, and why

The four packages are ranked by how finished each one is rather than by how attractive the segment is. This is where this one sits today, in the words of the review that ranked it.

Fourth, and deliberately deferred. Attractive, crowded, and needing product work this cohort would notice the absence of on day one.

What that means commercially: design-partner phase. The whole loop runs today in a deterministic sandbox that needs no credentials and no card, and the live buying rails are written but not spend-verified: 18 of 25 connectors are client-built, meaning an HTTP client that passes tests against mocked responses, 1 has had read-only calls accepted by a live vendor, and 0 have executed a paid activation reconciled to a provider invoice. Live spend sits behind a design-partner conversation rather than behind a signup form, and that is true of all four packages equally.

Incremental reach questions

Why would I not just use MNTN or Vibe?

For performance CTV on its own today, you probably should — they have a clearer performance story, commerce integrations and polished creative. The case for coming here instead is if you want CTV planned against the same audience as your DOOH, audio and social, deduplicated in one ledger, with a causal engine that will tell you when the test cannot support the claim. If you only want CTV, that machinery is overhead.
