Words from the client and partner

"By integrating a cross-screen open ad server, Smart AdServer made it easy for us to get into the game and move ahead, as we began quickly and inexpensively to run lucrative rich-media ads from brands that would have been out of reach for our direct-sales team... It makes no economic sense for us to put a salesperson in Los Angeles. The rise of programmatic, though, has made it possible for us to run ads from great companies based in L.A. and all over the world - offering impressions, booking the sale, and running the ads in less than a second."
- Chief Digital Officer Daniel Rojas Rincon

"Buying quality inventory at scale is always important. We're very happy to be able to access the great content and audience of El Tiempo programmatically, and to easily run rich-media and video ads there."
