Hi, I’m Andrew, and my co-founder and CTO is Dan. We met at Pinterest ads engineering. Before, we built ads at Facebook and Google respectively. We use self-service performance ad tech to optimize marketplace search. Basically, we deliver every listing as if they were ads, even though they may not be. This works really well. It can increase conversions and seller retention by up to 25%. 🚀 We work by providing all the hard data engineering around mobile formats, logging, attributing, joining, and aggregating data and feeding this into a full ML ranker. This is like personalized search, but real-time reactive, so it works on new and anonymous users, like on TikTok. We don't aggregate user data across apps because we don't need it. We happily work with any other ML systems by including them as features in our models, so we outperform any baseline. 🍰 Our mission is to match every buyer with every seller across every app. While we currently focus on internal marketplace optimization, our target market is new user acquisition which is today dominated by Facebook and Google. 🌎 We'd love feedback! Ask us anything in the comments or email me at ayates@promoted.ai

@smalter We do! https://www.promoted.ai/client-m... is our free open-source client library. It standardizes the "list view" on mobile and logs impressions, clicks, conversions with IDs to map them all together. It was designed by Yu-Hong, who is our awesome iOS eng leader who wrote Maps for iOS at Google. (for iOS, Android, React, and Web)

@oleksiy_malytskyy We deployed with awesome customers with strong engineering teams and a growing mobile app: Hipcamp and Snackpass. We needed to prove that we are an improvement over the state of the art for Silicon Valley engineering teams.

Brilliant – and speaking a marketplace founder, this has definitely been an acute pain point.

Congrats, Andrew. How does the integration process look like? Do you have any developer oriented documentation?

@yigit - Hi Yigit! Thanks! See the following link for integration process details and developer libraries. https://www.promoted.ai/developers Here's a summary of the technical parts of our integration process. We usually start with a light weight integration. - Add Promoted's library to your server's API call where you'd want us to reorder items. - Add Promoted's impression and action tracking libraries to your web and mobile interfaces. We usually go through stages of (1) logging mode, (2) shadow traffic, (3) experiments and then (4) full launch. We're happy to answer more questions.
