About

Independent, long-tenured ad server provider serving small-to-mid-market publishers and agencies seeking an alternative to enterprise and walled-garden platforms

AdvertServe is a unified ad serving platform built for web, mobile, email, and video, with a particular focus on B2B and niche publishers that operate direct sales teams. Its ad zone system defines available inventory and segments ad space to enable precise placement control and deeper reporting insights. Publishers can monetize that inventory on a CPM, CPC, CPA, or flat-rate basis, with AdvertServe taking no commission on direct sales and instead charging a fee based on impressions served. For unsold inventory, the platform supports header bidding via Prebid.js and integration with third-party ad networks. On the creative and measurement side, AdvertServe offers a range of creative formats, auto-refresh technology, lazy-loading, video streaming support, and real-time reporting with viewability measurement. Notably, its reporting updates once per minute rather than the hourly or daily cadence common among competitors.
