Company mission

Kevel's mission is to help developers quickly build custom ad platforms for sponsored listings, internal promotions, native ads, and more through its advertisement infrastructure APIs.

Our take

Advertising is a lucrative industry for everyone involved, but the biggest profits are made by the advertisement platforms that provide the industry infrastructure. This leads many companies to consider creating their own advertisement platform, however, doing so is a difficult task that requires extensive programming and software engineering knowledge.

Kevel develops APIs that facilitate the building of bespoke advertisement platforms, allowing companies to build custom advertisement programs without having to pay expensive programmer fees or compromise on flexibility. The company's APIs facilitate data-driven ads for innovative formats such as IoT and Digital Out-Of-Home, bypass ad blockers, and automate advertisement processes, allowing them to maximize their advertisement revenue whilst saving money and time.

Although custom advertisement platforms can be built by any company with the appropriate expertise, Kevel has been smart to recognize that this is often inaccessible to smaller startups, providing them with everything they need to create an ad platform without expensive engineers. An example of the use of the company's ad APIs is Ticketmaster, which increased its ticket revenue through Kevel by 600%.
