Overview
ConnectAd operates a supply-side advertising platform that helps publishers sell digital ad inventory to buyers. Its software connects websites and other media with advertising demand, processes bid requests and supports automated auctions and negotiated deals. Publishers integrate the platform with their advertising systems, while buyers access inventory through connected demand platforms. The business earns revenue by retaining fees from advertising transactions, combining its own serving infrastructure with integration, reporting and publisher support. Founded in 2014, ConnectAd is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and works with media and advertising partners across European markets.
