About Blis:
Blis is the most scaled geo-powered advertising platform in the world, working with major agencies and their brands. Blis takes a radically different approach to omnichannel planning, buying, and measurement that’s rooted in geography, not just identity. Using AI, we understand and help show what makes audiences unique, in terms of where they can be found online and in the real world and how they engage with content. We can then reach and measure these audiences in a unified way across every device and channel without relying on cookies or IDs. This unique technology consistently delivers substantially better performance, scale, and buying efficiency than ID-reliant strategies alone. We’re also the only major DSP that doesn’t mark up media, meaning more of our clients’ budgets can go to work on great publishers and content. Blis was founded in the UK in 2004 and operates in over 40 markets worldwide.
