GumGum

We started in 2008 in Santa Monica, California, as a contextual-first technology company that uses AI to improve digital advertising. We operate in over 19 markets globally, with 12 offices across North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Our Contextual, Attention, and Creative solutions help brands connect with consumers at the right moments and mindsets. Our ad tech platform delivers effective, brand-safe advertising across display, video, and CTV/OTT formats. We use AI for contextual targeting and attention-based insights without relying on personal data.

We are a top 15 SSP, processing 500 billion monthly impressions. We partner with over 40,000 MFA-Free publishers, 1,000+ agencies, and 3,000+ brands, including over 70% of Fortune 100 companies.

Some milestones include opening international offices in London (2015) and Tokyo (2017), launching our contextual intelligence API (2020), and receiving IAB UK’s Gold Standard 2.0 Certification (2020). We raised $75 million from Goldman Sachs in 2021 and acquired Amsterdam-based JustPremium and Australian-based Playground XYZ the same year. In 2023, we became the first Ad Tech provider to receive content-level accreditation from the MRC for contextual analysis, brand safety, and suitability for CTV.

We aim to create meaningful connections in the digital world for everyone, everywhere. We believe every ad should be delivered in a brand-suitable, contextually relevant environment without using personal data. We also solve problems across industries by teaching machines to understand the world through computer vision.

Our values are:

• Thoughtful: We listen, respect, and seek solutions.
• Agility: We are quick, nimble, and adaptable.
• Grit: We bring energy and perseverance.

We have an inclusive, creative, and energetic environment with approximately 480 employees working globally. Our “GROW” People Program supports growth, recognition, opportunity, and success, fostering a culture of self-reflection, belonging, and community.

We offer flexible work arrangements, including in-office, remote, or hybrid options depending on the role and location, with occasional in-person collaboration. Employees can participate in team events, fitness classes, and volunteering initiatives like “GumGum Gives Back.” We also have employee resource groups (e.g., Women of GumGum) and ongoing learning opportunities such as “Life Skills for Gummies” and “Virtual Leadership Bites.” We host annual hackathons where employees can develop their ideas. We emphasize Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB).
