We create advertising solutions that engage consumer attention. We provide omnichannel advertising solutions that help brands connect with customers across mobile, social, CTV, and the open web. We aim to deliver incremental brand lift and higher returns on ad spend for large advertisers. For publishers, our platform helps maximize revenue per impression through creative and targeting solutions. Jounce Media certified us as the only major SSP with zero exposure to “made for advertising” (MFA) sites.

Our targeting solutions include AI-powered Cohort Intelligence, which uses contextual signals for accuracy across mobile and desktop. We also offer pinpoint CTV targeting to identify actions, objects, or emotions within a scene. We develop experiences across mobile, social, and CTV that hold attention longer than standard ads, leading to increased awareness, recall, and sales.

We were founded in 2003 and are headquartered in New York, with additional offices in Chicago, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Brisbane, Waterford, Auckland, Sydney, and Singapore.
