The future of advertising is digital . We’ll help you build a foundation to sell it.

Digital advertising has given media companies access to an unprecedented array of audiences, devices, and targeting platforms. But while publishers are able to reach more people than they ever have, the complexity of maintaining their increasingly fragmented operations has soared.

Without a centralized infrastructure to manage these operational challenges of selling digital media, media companies are stuck maintaining spreadsheets and hiring people just to keep up with their workflow. Meanwhile, their operations costs soar and their margins shrink. That is not the future we dreamed of for advertising.

Enabling Direct Media Sales

Programmatic isn’t the only thing that needs to be automated. Media companies have more to gain by automating their direct sales process than they do by investing in remnant sales solutions.

Here are a few things we believe.

Every seller should have easy access to all of your inventory – across as many channels and properties as you manage. Your ad ops team is stuck in manual trafficking when they could be strategically finding ways to make you money. And you should be able to collect more of the revenue you sell, and measure yield across all of your products.
