About

A programmatic native DSP with strong machine learning capabilities, now operating as Teads DSP under parent company Teads (NASDAQ: TEAD), with direct integrations across 50+ SSPs globally.

Zemanta is a native advertising and content-recommendation technology company, best known for Zemanta One, a self-serve programmatic demand-side platform (DSP) for native advertising. The platform supports display and video in addition to native, built around helping advertisers generate measurable outcomes — including visits, views, leads, and conversions — from programmatic campaigns. Its data science department develops machine learning and AI algorithms for buying programmatic advertising in the real-time bidding ecosystem, with algorithms processing millions of data points per second to make over a billion machine learning predictions. Zemanta maintains direct partnerships with over 50 SSPs worldwide to ensure scale and brand integrity across the digital advertising ecosystem. Outbrain acquired Zemanta in 2017, and the DSP now trades as Teads DSP, though its API continues to be served from Zemanta-owned hosts.
