adMarketplace is a search advertising marketplace. The privately held company is headquartered in New York City. [1]
adMarketplace introduced an algorithmic bidding solution, BidSmart, for their search advertising platform in early 2014. [2]
adMarketplace operates an online marketplace that connects advertisers and publishers to serve PPC search ads on publisher properties in response to a user's search. T
The company positions itself as the only search syndication marketplace and allows advertisers to separate bid management by device type (computer/tablet/phone) and traffic source. The company claims that increased pricing control and transparency results in a higher ROI for advertisers. [3] [4]
In 2013, adMarketplace partnered with Kenshoo to offer integration through Kenshoo's campaign management dashboard. [5]
In 2014, adMarketplace was named to Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 as one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America. [6]
The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) named adMarketplace a 2014 Best Practices Award winner in Big Data Technology for its Advertiser 3D and BidSmart technologies. [7] Hewlett Packard also recognized adMarketplace with the 2014 Discover Award for its innovation in big data even though their tracking technology is known for its faults. [8]
adMarketplace was founded by James Hill in 2000. From 2003 to 2006, it was the exclusive search advertising platform for eBay; when that exclusivity ended, the company opened its platform to all advertisers and publishers. [9] The immediate impact was a major downsize, with just seven employees at one point, [10] but it then grew 50% in 2008 and reached 80 employees in 2011. [10] In 2012, adMarketplace grew to 100 employees, and was named the 8th fastest growing company in New York by Crains. [11] In 2014, adMarketplace was ranked one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America by Deloitte on their annual Fast 500 list, [12] and in 2016 adMarketplace was among the first 100 companies approved for the Trustworthy Accountability Group (TAG) registry
