Our take
The Verve Group provides an omnichannel advertising platform that connects advertisers, agencies, brands, and publishers to people in real time. Verve places a significant emphasis on privacy in its offering, in a space that has received media criticism for intrusive practices.
Over the years, the company has expanded its digital financial services platform and steadily ramped up its acquisitions. It bought mobile DSP company Dataset and is a bidding partner for in-app inventory on Google Ad Manager.
The Verve Group have made a significant footprint in the digital ad marketplace, having partnered with thousands of advertisers. The company will need to continue pushing towards new and expanding markets as it builds a larger and stronger global technology stack.
