About Client Services

The Client Services team at The Trade Desk focuses on growing business from current clients through enhanced customer satisfaction and improved advertising campaign performance. The CS team works with some of the largest brands and agencies in marketing today by helping them to capitalize on the benefits of programmatic advertising in digital media.

The CS department offers a stellar career path for people interested in the data-driven side of marketing. The two primary functions within Client Services offers talented professionals the opportunity to interact directly with marketers to make their advertising campaigns more effective. Account Management positions guide clients through The Trade Desk platform and drive value-added services and capabilities while encouraging feature adoption. Trading positions within CS analyze data to make optimization recommendations to clients based on insights and advanced capabilities. Both positions work together to provide clients with the highest level of customer service in the industry. This team collaboration has led to The Trade Desk having a client retention rate of over 95% for the past decade.
