We believe that a rising tide lifts all boats.
If you’ve heard an ad while streaming music or listening to a podcast, chances are high that you’ve been exposed to our technology. Since our inception in 2008, we have built an agnostic technology platform that enables audio publishers, of any size, to monetize their content and connect with advertisers, of any size, to bring listeners a relevant and positive ad experience.
In early 2010, we developed the first ever solution to serve one-to-one targeted ads to online radio listeners in a unique, new way through server-side ad-insertion, and the company immediately began growing fast to meet the new demand.
We added an audio analytics component through the acquisition of WebMediaStats in 2011, and began growing quickly in Europe. We successfully launched a global digital audio marketplace in 2012, and kicked off the first-ever dynamic ad insertion trials for podcasts. In 2013, after more global publishers adopted our digital audio advertising platform, we further strengthened our footprint in Europe.
We continued building out our full stack digital audio programmatic offering with our ad management and trafficking solution, AudioServe, in 2014, and our audio-centric SSP, AudioMax, in 2015.
In 2016, we consolidated our podcast ad serving infrastructure with the first-ever programmatic podcast marketplace and introduced AudioMatic, our audio-centric DSP, optimized for podcasts. Then, in 2017, we began to move beyond traditional ad publishing with innovative audio formats such as ShakeMe™, to help advertisers better engage with audiences. We also worked with major agencies and publishers to introduce audio advertising on smart speakers.
