Who We Are
Verve has created a more efficient and privacy-focused way to buy and monetize advertising. Verve is an ecosystem of demand and supply technologies fusing data, media, and technology together to deliver results and growth to both advertisers and publishers–no matter the screen or location, no matter who, what, or where a customer is.

Verve is a global ad-tech company that owns and operates a fully integrated advertising stack, spanning demand, supply, and data. While most companies in our space specialize in one layer of the ecosystem, we own the DSP, the SSP, and the data and identity infrastructure that connects them. This means our technology works end to end, in real time, every time a user opens an app or loads a screen.
We reach 2.5 billion consumers across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC. Our platform processes billions of signals daily, enabling advertisers to plan and execute campaigns with precision and publishers to manage and monetize their inventory effectively. As the digital advertising landscape shifts away from walled gardens and third-party identifiers, Verve is focused on building the infrastructure that supports a more open, accountable internet. That is what drives the work we do.
