Who we are:

DoubleVerify is a big data analytics company, which went public in April 2021 (NYSE: DV). We track and analyze tens of billions of ads every day for the biggest brands in the world like Nike, AT&T, Disney, Vodafone, and most of the Fortune 500 companies, if you’ve seen an online ad via Web, Mobile, or CTV device then there is a big chance that it was measured by us.

We operate at a massive scale, handling over 100B events per day and over 1M RPS at peak. We process events in real-time at low latencies (ms) to help our clients make decisions before, during and after the ad is served. We verify that all ads are fraud free, appear next to appropriate content, appear to people in the right geography and measure the viewability and user’s engagement throughout the ad’s lifecycle.
