The GLN Story
GLN harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to improve marketing return on investments for advertisers. GLN is a patent pending machine learning programmatic video advertising technology company that does not collect PII (Personal Identifiable Information). GLN serves millions of online video ads daily 3 times faster than IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) standards through multiple server to server integrations with both publishers and advertisers including CTV (Connected Television). GLN's technology powers the company's ability to create sustainable growth and revenue from this substantial digital advertising ecosystem: 74% of U.S. homes have at least one connected television and there will be over 750 million connected TV sets globally by the end of the year according to Statista. The IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) Changing TV Experience report indicates that 56% of consumer TVs are now IP connected. The IAB anticipates CTV ad revenues are projected to hit $31.5 billion in 2018, up 275 percent from $8.4 billion in 2015. GLN is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and with offices in the US and UK. By 2020, MAGNA, the research arm of media buying firm IPG Mediabrands, expects digital ads to make up 50 percent of all ad spending, expected to reach $237 billion this year.
