Product overview

Optimize Display programmatically puts your ads in front of the right people at the right time. By being device agnostic and buying targeted display ads on many different networks instead of just one, we create market competition that yields you 2-5X the reach and frequency over anyone else in the industry, making this the perfect foundation for all your marketing efforts. With programmatic banner ads you can establish brand awareness with your target audience more efficiently than ever before. But brand awareness is not our goal, conversions are, and you’ll see those conversions with our industry-leading performance, reporting, and attribution.

Display is the back bone to any solid digital marketing plan. The low cost per impression from display campaigns allows your brand to get to the 30+ needed brand interactions to get a user to do business with you. With any other digital medium it will take 5-7x as long, which is why you should always prioritize a solid display campaign and then look to add video, audio, and OTT.

Data-driven targeting that goes beyond cookies

Target audiences with precision using a combination of:
  • 1st-party data activation
  • Deterministic targeting (known users, verified behaviors, identity-based signals)
  • Probabilistic modeling (scaled audience expansion using behavioral patterns)

Combined, this creates accuracy + scale—not one or the other.
