Shaping the future of digital advertising with creative technology
Amidst the rapid growth of digital advertising, the industry is facing several growth pains such as ever decreasing CTRs due to the lack of engaging Ads. The current digital media landscape favors optimizations of ad delivery over truly relevant and engaging Ads; this results in short benefit for the advertiser but not for the consumer.
In this session, we'll show you how we address and contribute to solving this problem. Mawari focuses on creative and interactive advertising by experimenting and developing with emerging technologies such as WebGL, AR, and VR. We provide a next-generation media advertising platform.
