Our Commitment

We built SPO INSIGHTS to bring much-needed transparency to the programmatic ecosystem. After decades of building programmatic products and running supply strategies we know firsthand how complex supply chains and a lack of transparency create inefficiencies and reduce value for advertisers and publishers alike.

We maintain complete independence from media buyers and sellers, ensuring our analysis is always objective and unbiased; ensuring our commitment to data integrity and truthful reporting.

Our analysis is built on clear, documented methodologies and data sources that you can trust and verify.
