Our take
The way in which advertisers reach out to their audiences has changed dramatically over the last decade, primarily due to the invention of the smartphone. Whilst mobile ads have existed since the beginning of smartphones, most rely on technology that was built for desktops, resulting in bad advertising and missed opportunities.
Kargo provides a mobile advertising platform for marketers and publishers, helping them to deliver better business outcomes by leveraging advertising technology designed specifically for mobile. The company achieves this by directly integrating optimised impressions from the best-performing publishers within its specialised supply, using tangible identity metrics to analyse and improve advertiser KPIs, and overall, by facilitating personalised, mobile-optimised advertising.
The company acquired Videobyte (a video advertising platform for Connected TV) in early 2023 to expand operations into the relatively young digital TV industry and its lucrative TV formats. Bringing video, publisher tools, and unique formats to Kargo's omnichannel, this acquisition indicates a diversification of media for the advertising provider, which already has a firm grip on both mobile and desktop advertising platforms. 2025 funding is being used for R&D of new AI-powered products and to broaden market reach.
