Programmatic Account Manager

About Wunderkind:

Wunderkind ads are ‘behaviorally triggered’, meaning that ads are served on a premium list of publishers only when a user is done consuming content. Our proprietary tag is integrated directly on the publisher page to track on-site user behavior – making ‘net new’ ad placements. How we serve the ad is why we are different from our competitors in-market.

Rather than placing an ad in front of someone while they’re actively trying to read content, our technology patiently waits until a visitor has stopped reading before rendering our ad on the page. And that patience pays off — it turns out that when an ad experience respects the user’s reason for visiting a page, the user respects the ad experience in return. This unique, brand safe approach to ad experience gives an advertiser’s message more attention and greater engagement.
