About

One of the world's leading full-stack programmatic DOOH platforms, operating globally as part of Perion Network with extensive media owner and demand-side partnerships across 35+ countries

Hivestack is a global, full-stack adtech company powering both the buy and sell sides of programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising. The platform's core strength is location-based audience targeting, leveraging mobile location and behavioral data to serve ads when target audiences are near DOOH screens, enabling more strategic ad delivery than traditional out-of-home's broad demographic assumptions. Key features include geofencing, moment targeting — which triggers ads based on factors such as weather — and AI-powered optimization.
