The comScore report highlights Acuity’s growth momentum in the real-time bidding space. “We’ve been using the Acuity platform for over a year, so comScore’s numbers are not surprising to me,” said Karen Geller, Media Planning Manager at Shaw Media, “but they confirm Acuity’s value proposition as an online reach tool for our brands.”
“We see over 20 billion impressions every day. We see the transactions that take place in the market,” says Dr. Nathan Mekuz, Acuity’s CTO. “A lot of it is very inefficient.
