Adblade is an online advertiser specializing in presenting sponsored website links and is owned by Adiant. Adiant is based in Somerville, New Jersey and was founded in January 2008.[1]
History[edit]
Adblade was launched in January 2008,[1] by Ash Nashed, who is the current CEO. [3] The company is headquartered in Somerville, New Jersey[4] with additional offices in New York City[5] as well as Buffalo, NY.[6]
In November 2009, the company announced it had surpassed 200 million monthly unique users.[7] In October 2014, Quantcast reported Adblade's reach at 584 Million global users and 463 Million US users.[2]
Business Model[edit]
Adblade has advertising arrangements chiefly with highly trafficked content providers,[1][7] websites in its network have included Nasdaq, Hearst, The Washington Times, ABC News and Chicago Sun Times. Adblade predominantly operates in the United States and works with both online and mobile traffic.[2] Advertisements can be created and uploaded by clients and may be targeted geographically, by behavioral interests, or demographics. The system allows for monetizing websites and blogs, though websites must meet certain requirements. Clients must also pass rigorous ad approval guidelines.[8]
Media[edit]
In December 2013, one of Adblade's executives appeared on Bloomberg TV to discuss how native advertising must be clearly defined for the end user.[9]
