Our take
In order to survive in the digital age, businesses must now market their brand through omnichannel digital advertisement formats. However, building the technological infrastructure for omnichannel advertisement can be a convoluted process, with businesses having to liaise with multiple DSPs and publishers, and work with different software integrations across multiple platforms.
TripleLift is an omnichannel advertisement marketplace that aims to help businesses build advertisement campaigns across online video, CTV, display, branded content, and native formats within a single marketplace. The company partners with digital media publishers, DSPs, brands, and software companies to provide everything businesses need from analytic and engagement tools to the advertisement content itself.
There are many tech startups aiming to tackle the challenges of omnichannel advertising, and TripleLift has recognized that businesses seek operations from many of these providers, helping to reduce the complexity of marketing campaigns by connecting all parties within a single marketplace. Ultimately, this approach helps the company not only serve businesses and their marketing campaigns but also match the service providers with clients.
