More About Dentsu Access

According to a statement by Angela Tangas,  Dentsu’s CEO for ANZ, one of the major components of the company’s growth strategy is enabling businesses to access and leverage the best of Dentsu, irrespective of the project. Tangas’ statement emphasized that brands nowadays want to own their data and aim to achieve transparency. They want complete control of their technology platforms and to manage their campaigns end-to-end. Tangas stated that among the obstacles brands face are the required licenses for some ad tech stacks such as Google Marketing Platform, which are expensive and difficult to procure.

A major component of Dentsu Access is accessibility. Users can get access to the full suite of Google Marketing Platform products. This  includes Analytics 360, Campaign Manager, Display & Video 360, Optimise 360 and Search Ads 360. By leveraging intelligence, data capabilities, technology and access across networks, businesses can accomplish their all goals and objectives. They can carry out operations ranging from purchasing products and services from digital and technical solutions to getting in-house training and support. Whether it is a one-off campaign or a longer-term project, Dentsu Access offers support with Google Marketing Platform implementation training, as well as other digital solutions like analytics, digital maturity audits, data solutions, as well as creative, CRM  and media services.
