HIRO™: Helping Identity Reveal Opportunity
HIRO™ is an antidote for the end of the third-party cookie. It recognizes and monetizes traffic using stable identifiers while maintaining user privacy. The addressability that HIRO is able to create means demand partners and programmatic advertisers can effectively identify and target cookieless website audiences.
As a result, publishers see higher bids and increased CPMs.

By connecting your inventory to an ecosystem seeking addressable audiences, we help you tap into the demand you’ve already built through your opted-in audiences and the CRM you’ve amassed.
