AdTech, short for Advertising Technology, refers to the set of tools, platforms and technologies used to manage, distribute, optimize and create digital advertising. From media buying automation to ad personalization and performance measurement, AdTech encompasses a wide range of solutions designed to help advertisers reach their target audiences effectively and efficiently in the digital world. This article explains the AdTech segments today, and recommends a couple of leading providers.

Contextual Advertising
Contextual advertising is a form of targeted advertising that appears on websites or other digital platforms, such as content displayed on mobile browsers. Contextual targeting involves the use of linguistic factors to control the placement of advertising material. Through contextual advertising, they take advantage of artificial intelligence to position ads within relevant articles, allowing the advertiser to achieve better results.
