EVA tackles five key issues.
Ad Fraud
EVA’s Fraud Fence algorithm and logic prevents ad fraud, potentially saving advertisers more than a quarter of their budget. It detects suspicious activity, offering peace of mind and safeguarding advertising investments from fraudsters.
Transparency
EVA simultaneously runs over 10,000 campaigns for advertisers with highly diverse goals, delivering reporting down to granular details and providing custom reports. This efficiency allows for precise targeting, ensuring optimal campaign performance across all channels.
Brand Safety
EVA’s Fraud Fence also protects brands from improper placement of ads, ensuring your brand message reaches the right audience and environment. This precision prevents negative associations, safeguarding your brand’s reputation and maximizing its impact in the market.
Optimization
EVA responds to bid requests within 100 milliseconds, handling 300,000 bid requests a second. She is continuously and autonomously optimizing to deliver superior return on ad spend, ensuring advertisers get the best results with efficient resource use.
Commoditization
Brands with unique first-party data struggle to utilize it within a standard DSP. Programmatic has led to audience commoditization. EVA integrates first and third-party data, using AI for deeper insights, creating unbeatable campaign results.
Bringing honesty to advertising, especially in media buying.
“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The trouble is I don’t know which half.”
- John Wanamaker (1838 - 1922)
Digital media buying today faces challenges like ad fraud, lack of transparency, and inefficiencies.
