About Adform
Adform is a leading Danish advertising technology company that provides a fully integrated 'Blue Chip' platform for the buy-side of digital advertising. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Copenhagen, it offers a comprehensive suite named Adform FLOW, which integrates media buying, data management, and creative tools into a single interface. The service is specifically designed for enterprise-level clients, such as major global brands and agencies, seeking an independent alternative to the integrated 'walled gardens' of US-based tech giants. Adform maintains a strong European footprint with a physical presence in 16 European countries, while serving ads globally through a proprietary network of data centers. Its focus on independence and transparency makes it a primary choice for European enterprises concerned with supply chain visibility in the adtech ecosystem.
