Why AI Now

The burning platform for advertising

AI-driven real-time bidding dominates media buying

eMarketer Programmatic Report
AI creative optimization: 25% higher CTR

Dynamic creative optimization beats static campaigns

Google Marketing Platform
$65B lost to ad fraud annually

AI fraud detection now critical for media spend protection

Juniper Research
ESTABLISHED MARKET78/100

From Mad Men intuition to millisecond bidding decisions. AI processes 50 billion ad opportunities daily.

Programmatic AI decides which ads you see in 10 milliseconds. Agencies still selling creative instinct are being disintermediated by algorithms.

Cost of Inaction

Every ad dollar spent without AI optimization is competing against algorithms that have already decided you will lose.
