ID5’s mission is to improve online advertising by making it more privacy-compliant and by ensuring that publishers attract advertising budgets to sustain their business and provide free content and services to consumers. The digital advertising ecosystem is disrupted by the continued rise of global platforms like Google and Facebook: they capture most advertising investments from brands and use these resources to monopolize technical innovation for their commercial advantage. ID5 provides the advertising ecosystem with a transparent, privacy-compliant identity solution to help publishers and their monetization partners to compete with these tech giants and to thrive.
Do you want to work for a dynamic and disruptive start-up that views the current shifts in the market as an opportunity to make a strong difference? If you share our ambition to make digital advertising a better place, we would love to hear from you!
