Inventory and formats you can buy

Open exchange supply on web, in-app and connected TV across the United States.

01

Display

Standard and rich media

All the standard banner sizes across US websites and apps. The cheapest way to put a software brand in front of new users.

  • Category and competitor context
  • Offer and pricing campaigns
  • Free trial pushes
02

Native

In-feed and in-article

Reads like content on review, comparison and how-to pages, where software buyers already spend time.

  • Review and comparison pages
  • Long-form explainers
  • Higher click-through than banners
03

Video

In-stream and outstream

Fifteen or thirty seconds is enough to show the product working, which is the hardest part for software.

  • Product demos
  • Feature launches
  • Warming cold audiences
04

Connected TV

Streaming apps on smart TVs

Household reach in the US, planned next to display so frequency is shared.

  • Brand building
  • Seasonal and launch pushes
  • Reaching households, not just devices
05

In-app

Interstitial and banner

Mobile inventory for products people use on the phone, from design and productivity apps to streaming and learning.

  • App installs and trials
  • Bringing lapsed users back
  • Mobile-first audiences

How buying works

Pick the model that fits the campaign. Your bid is the price, nothing is added afterwards, and you can change any of it while the campaign runs.

Buy on CPM

Pay per thousand impressions. Best for reach, launches and connected TV, where delivery is the point.

Or buy on CPC

Pay per click. Best for trial and offer campaigns, where you only want to pay when someone lands on your page.

One rate, all in

Your bid is what you pay. No separate platform fee and no percentage taken on top at the end of the month.

Or optimise to a target CPA

Set a target cost per sign-up or trial on the line item, with a bid cap, and the bidding works toward it while the campaign runs.

Targeting and controls

Everything is set per line item, and you can change it while the campaign runs.

Measure as much or as little as you want

Start with media metrics. Add tracking later if you want sign-ups attributed.

1
Without any tag

Impressions, clicks, CTR, viewability, placement and device breakdowns, plus cost per click.

2
With a landing page tag

Landing page visits, time on page and cost per visit, so you can compare placements on quality, not just clicks.

3
With a conversion tag or server event

Trial starts, sign-ups and paid conversions, with an attribution window you choose, up to 30 days.

Questions from software brands

What teams ask before their first US campaign.

Do I need to install anything to start?

No. Display and native campaigns run on context, interest, geo and device targeting alone. A tag is only needed if you want sign-ups and paid conversions attributed.

Can I target only the United States?

Yes. Country, state, city, metro and postcode targeting, with separate budgets per line item if you want to test regions.

Can I reach people who read reviews and comparisons?

Yes. Build an allow list of review and comparison sites, or target by page keywords and category.

How do you stop ads showing next to the wrong content?

Category and keyword blocks, plus domain and app block lists that you control from the dashboard.
