Our take
Through its platform for commerce advertising, mrge enables businesses to deliver campaign messages when and where they count most. This means supplying relevant information in the right context at the right time, close to or within content, to the benefit of publishers, advertisers and users.
mrge achieves this approach through its market-leading companies such as digipip, SourceKnowledge and shopping24. Each has a different focus, for example bolstering mrge's capability to serve premium publishers, supplying product recommendation tools or dealing with how to expand reach.
The company's latest acquisition, MaxBounty, is a performance marketing platform and the fifth addition to mrge's roster. This acquisition strengthens its presence in key markets across the USA, EU and SEA regions.
