Fully Customizable

AdFlight is built around the idea to let you customize
the ad server as much as possible.

Powerful Templates

Create templates for each ad format. Let your ad ops team fill in the data when adding creatives using drop-downs, toggles and pre-formatted fields. No need for them to speak JSON!

Custom Metrics

Go beyond clicks and conversions. Create up to 100 custom events, like downloads, signups or upvotes. Define your own formulas to calculate ROI, eCPMs or anything else in the reports.

Awesome Reports

Generate reports for your advertisers with your own branding, format and style. Use the API to ship row level data to your own backend for further analysis.

Don't build an ad server from scratch!

Most of the hard work have been done for you, ready to be
deployed using AdFlight's ad serving APIs

checkDistribution

Spread ad impressions for a client over the day. The pacing algorithm avoids bursts of impressions in the early morning.

checkBudget Pacing

AdFlight manages client budgets by limiting daily or monthly spends. Prevent budget exhausting before the campaign ends.

checkCustom Targeting

Leverage first-party data to target custom-tailored ads to users. For example, show expensive ads to users who are known spenders.

checkEvent Tracking

Want to go beyond tracking clicks and conversions? Create your own events like downloads, upvotes or replies.

checkGeotargeting

Fine-tune delivery to users from a specific geolocation. Target by country, region, city, DMA or GPS coordinates.

checkSearch Intent

Show sponsored content based on the search query of the user. Target campaigns to a channel or category.

checkKeep in control

Since only a JSON response with the winning ad is returned, you're in full control how you build the ad unit. No cookie dropping, no data leackage.

checkBot Filtering

Don't let bots skew your data. Filter bots and spiders from your reports automatically. AdFlight detects both GIVT and SIVT. Included in all plans.

checkPDF Reports

Send reports to clients by email, or generate a report PDF with your own branding and logo. Schedule reports daily or weekly.
