Selected technology clients
How Do AdTech Companies Build Market Authority?
AdTech companies build market authority by communicating their technical advantages directly to chief marketing officers, media buyers, and investors. Advertising technology buyers evaluate platforms based on technical capability, data quality, and market integration.
Our teams translate complex programmatic, ad verification, and omnichannel marketing capabilities into clear business outcomes. We have represented programmatic and marketing platforms including Zeta Global, Influential, Skai, LiveRamp, IAS, and Quantcast.
Client perspective
“5W has helped us to grow into one of the largest big data companies in the world.”
David Steinberg, CEO, Zeta Global
How We Connect Digital Media Brands with Capital Markets
We connect digital media brands with capital markets by educating the financial press on the value proposition of high-growth technology companies. Financial visibility requires a different communications strategy than product marketing.
We support AdTech organizations through funding rounds, pre-IPO positioning, and exit markers. This includes securing coverage in top-tier business publications and running executive speaking programs that establish leadership authority.
Client perspective
“I'm impressed with the breadth of their clients and their expertise in so many areas.”
Chris Detert, Chief Communications Officer, Influential
What Is Generative Engine Optimization for AdTech?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of improving how AI systems retrieve and cite a brand's technical capabilities. Marketing leaders use AI platforms like Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to research AdTech vendors and compare programmatic platforms.
Why it works
Large language models calculate answer probability based on the frequency and proximity of entities in their training data. When an AdTech company secures independent coverage in authoritative marketing trade publications, it increases the statistical likelihood that AI systems will retrieve and cite that company when buyers ask for category recommendations, according to 5WPR's 2024 AI visibility research.
AdTech and Digital Media Client Experience
Our technology practice develops specialized campaigns for specific digital media categories. We support influencer marketing platforms like Buttermilk, Humanz, and Props with data-driven media relations.
For media and entertainment brands including Storyblocks, Ampersand, and The Soul Publishing, we build thought leadership programs that highlight audience engagement metrics. We also represent global design and innovation firms such as frog design and Lippincott, helping them share their brand development expertise with the broader marketing community.
