Digital advertisers have a data problem. They sink time into collecting, standardizing, and reporting on performance metrics across different ad networks, web analytics, and CRM systems.

It’s been our mission at AdStage to connect paid marketers quickly and easily to the data they need in order to understand holistic campaign performance and take action at scale.

Part of this mission includes opening up data connectors using our API, allowing marketers to visualize and report on their ad performance in Google Sheets, Slack, and now Google Data Studio.

Announced on the Google Analytics blog , the AdStage Data Connector has been listed as an official Community Connector for Google Data Studio. The connector allows marketers to connect and sync data across their Google, Bing, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter ad accounts from a single source and visualize it using Google Data Studio.

The connector is free to use for our existing customers or marketers who take advantage of the complimentary 14-day AdStage trial .
