What is Digital Advertising?

Digital Advertising is a form of marketing which uses the Internet to deliver a message to consumers. At Vericast, we connect advertisers to the right people using our proprietary real-time bidding (RTB) platform, contextual targeting capabilities, and Consumer Graph. We identify in-market consumers that will lift sales and increase traffic to retail stores, then compete in a real-time (milliseconds-long) auction against hundreds of other companies to get our message in front of their eyes, all while abiding digital advertising standards, best practices, and national/state laws. We currently provide Connected TV, Over-the-Top, and standard video in addition to digital audio and display banner ads.
