About Blis:

Blis is the world's most-scaled location intelligence advertising platform, working with major agencies and brands. Blis takes a radically different approach to omnichannel planning, buying, and measurement rooted in location intelligence, not just identity. Using AI, Blis understands and helps show what makes audiences unique, including where they can be found online and in the real world and how they engage with content. Blis can then reach and measure these audiences in a unified way across every device and channel without relying on cookies or IDs. This unique technology consistently delivers substantially better performance, scale, and buying efficiency than ID-reliant strategies alone. Blis is also the only major DSP that doesn't mark up media, meaning more of its clients' budgets can go to work.
