Vindico

Premium video ad serving platform focused on quality, transparency, and analytics for top-tier publishers and brand advertisers

Vindico was a digital video advertising technology company that specialized in end-to-end video ad serving, management, and analytics for premium publishers and brand advertisers. Originally launched as the technology platform of Broadband Enterprises (BBE), an online video network, Vindico was spun out as an independent subsidiary following Specific Media's acquisition of BBE in 2010. Vindico grew to become one of the industry's leading video ad servers, earning MRC accreditation for viewability measurement and serving campaigns for major brand advertisers and premium publishers. The company positioned itself as a trusted partner for premium publishers and major brand advertisers who demanded transparency and quality in video advertising. Vindico's platform offered capabilities including ad decisioning, frequency capping, cross-screen delivery, and robust reporting tools that gave both buyers and sellers granular insight into campaign performance. Vindico's parent company Specific Media rebranded as Viant Technology in 2015, repositioning the group of holdings — including Specific Media, MySpace, Vindico, and Xumo — under a unified advertising cloud brand. Time Inc. subsequently acquired Viant in March 2016, bringing Vindico into the Time Inc. portfolio. Following these transitions, the Vindico brand was gradually absorbed into the broader Viant technology stack.
