1st Answer Example
"I have over five years of experience working with an open Advertising Marketplace, where I learned the differences between the two types. Open marketplaces are not restricted with regards to who can purchase and who can sell ads, while a private marketplace includes a single publisher selling their ads to selected group of marketers, giving the publisher more control. Whether either type of marketplace is better for a marketer depends on target audiences and budgets."

2nd Answer Example
"Although I do not have direct experience working with either type of Advertising Marketplace, my work with Marketing departments has allowed me to learn about both. Private Advertising Marketplaces are run by the largest publishers who are selective about which brands purchase their higher-priced ads. Therefore, limited marketing budgets and exclusive access by publishers may restrict marketers to open marketplaces. However, open marketplaces may also provide marketers access to a wider variety of publishers appropriate for their target audience, at a budget-friendly price."
