AdGear is an online advertising technology company and the first official advertising technology provider for the Government of Canada.[1] The privately owned company was founded in 2008 by Yves Poiré, Vlad Stesin and Bosko Milekic in Montreal, Canada. It currently operates offices in Montreal under Samsung.

History

[edit]

In 2013 the company announced it would power ad delivery for LaPresse+, the tablet edition of Montreal-based newspaper La Presse.[2] The French language's tablet app will replace the weekly print edition by the beginning of 2016.[3]

AdGear also provides rich media ad serving for the tablet edition of the Toronto Star's tablet app Star Touch,[4] which launched in September 2015. In September 2015, AdGear also became the first ever digital advertising technology provider for the Government of Canada.[5]

In June 2016 AdGear was acquired by Samsung Electronics.[6]

Product

[edit]

AdGear offers a full-stack of real-time advertising products, such as a demand-side platform called AdGear Trader, a data management platform, an advertiser ad server and a publisher ad server.
