Who’s a Good Fit

Primer is ideal when…
  • Your team prefers building and optimizing directly in native ad manager
  • Proving incremental revenue lift is a must for Finance.
  • You’re scaling across Meta, Google (Customer Match), LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok (beta), YouTube—and want flat‑rate pricing.
  • You need CRM‑based Google Customer Match lists, not just GA retargeting.
  • You want to reach prospects on Reddit today and TikTok tomorrow (beta access).
  • You need to launch in days, not months, to hit next‑quarter goals.
Metadata.io may fit when…
  • You want a single, all‑in‑one campaign UI and are okay abstracting campaign management away from in ad platform.
  • A percentage‑of‑spend fee structure isn’t a blocker.
  • A 6–8 week onboarding window aligns with your planning cycle.
  • You don’t already have an agency and would like to use Metadata’s in-house agency offering.
