## Problems We Solve

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Publishers">
    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Low profitability with network ads alone">
        Network ads like AdMob and AdSense rarely exceed \$1 CPM. While direct deals can increase rates, infrastructure costs are burdensome.

        **→ Ad Control provides direct deal infrastructure at server-cost levels.** Prioritize high-CPM direct deals, then automatically monetize empty inventory with Backfill ads.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Ad Platform development always gets deprioritized">
        Even at large companies, core service development comes first. When asked "Can we do video ads?", internal dev teams quote months of work.

        **→ Ad Control lets you deploy new ad formats with just a few clicks.** Respond instantly to market trends with banner, video, native, and more.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="All time spent on repetitive tasks like reporting and creative swaps">
        Ad monetization expertise is scarce, often forcing marketers to suddenly become ad managers. Time spent on repetitive tasks means no time for valuable work.

        **→ Ad Control automates Campaign management, reporting, and Settlement.** Let your team focus on sales and strategy.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Didn't know this service existed after building it ourselves">
        Building in-house means cost burden and losing focus on core business as you cater to Advertiser demands.

        **→ Ad Control provides enterprise-grade infrastructure as SaaS.** Start immediately without build burden.
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Advertisers">
    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Want to advertise directly on desired media">
        Even when you find good media, the process from inquiry to contract is complex.

        **→ Check Ad Products directly on the Publisher's Ad Platform and book self-serve.**
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Want to systematically check ad performance">
        Must wait for Excel reports or manually request performance data.

        **→ Check and download real-time performance reports directly.** Systematized systems increase repurchase rates.
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>
