What channel aren't you using? We'll find the best way to unlock it.
Let us build you a custom channel audit for your brand. It takes 48 hours, it costs nothing, and it doesn't even require a call.
Connected TV
Streaming TV ads on services like Roku, Hulu, and Samsung TV Plus. Audiences are age verified at the account level.
Programmatic DOOH
Geofenced, dayparted, and in most markets it clears review where social does not.
Direct mail
Physical mail to a targeted list. No platform sits between you and the customer, and response is straightforward to measure against spend.
Social and affiliate partnerships
Paying creators and affiliates to talk about your product on their own channels. Because it is not a paid ad, it is not subject to the ad policies that reject you, and you only pay for what performs.
Trade and category media
Publications, newsletters, and sites built specifically for your category. Smaller audiences, but everyone in them is already a buyer.
AI search visibility
Being the source that ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews cite when someone asks about your category. A growing share of research now ends inside an AI answer, and the brands named in those answers are the ones publishing material those tools can cite.
Retail media networks
Ad space owned by the retailers and distributors carrying your product. You are reaching people at the point of purchase where there is far less competition.
Podcast and streaming audio
Standard audio ads across Spotify and the wider streaming market, plus host read spots inside shows your audience already follows.
Email and SMS
Your own subscriber list. You own the audience outright, so no platform can reject the message or change the rules on you.
Category coalitions and industry bodies
Advertising through the trade association or council that represents your category rather than as a single brand.
Retail staff and frontline programs
Education, incentives and point of use material for the people making the recommendation, whether that is a budtender at the counter or a clinician in an exam room.
Sponsorships and events
Putting your brand into experiences your audience already attends, from festivals to trade shows to local programming.
