We use a blend of proprietary, public & customer provided data to make ads uniquely relevant and effective. Targetable has virtualized all of the operations of a digital ad agency into one simple, easy-to-use, SaaS platform, designed exclusively for retail clients.

Targetable launched in November of last year and since then has been on an enviable trajectory. Targetable's intuitive UI turns a set of cumbersome tasks requiring complex expertise into a simple and swift process. Ads are generated by the system automatically and presented to the customer for editing, approval, and feedback. The system creates both the ad itself as well as the media strategy detailing who to target, when to run ads, and how much to spend.
