Persona.ly is integrated with all the major ad exchanges, giving it access to both premium inventory and a global user base. A proprietary ML algorithm is at the core of the company’s programmatic DSP. Processing over 2,500,000 ad auctions per second while precisely targeting the audience, Persona.ly’s bidder accurately predicts the value of each impression and which users are going to interact with an app.

Persona.ly’s exponential growth in the past years was possible due to constant technology development and machine-learning capabilities improvement. It allowed the company to serve leading mobile app developers, including Ubisoft, Nexon, Games24x7, Papaya Gaming, Rapido, and others worldwide, to help them reach their deep-funnel KPIs.
