The company says its AI analyzes up to 15 million ad opportunities each second to help optimize campaigns in real time. Measurement spans marketing impact from awareness to conversion, with a marketplace of measurement partners. A partner directory lists data and inventory providers and can be filtered by partner type and region. The company says advertisers can select marketplace solutions and control campaign data and ad placement. It presents the platform for data-driven marketers and offers tailored solutions for advertisers, publishers and partners. Prospective customers are asked to contact the company to discuss access and suitable solutions; pricing is on request. The platform is available through web and API.
