Company profile

researched Aug 2026

A Million Ads (AMA) develops dynamic creative technology for audio advertising. Its platform combines contextual and audience-level data β€” such as purchase history, loyalty status, music preferences, location and listening device β€” into signals that determine elements of an individual ad, including voice-over, music and sound effects, so that each listener can be served a tailored version.

The platform has two components. AMA Studio is a browser-based design tool for audio producers and creatives: scripts can be imported from tools such as Word or Google Docs with rules and values assigned automatically to lines, audio can be sequenced with bed music, sound effects and voice-over elements locked to data triggers, and a power editor handles trimming, fades and attenuation before previewing the full mix. Studio publishes large volumes of ad variants in minutes and delivers them into existing ad-tech platforms. The second component is an ad-serving and decisioning engine that traffics unlimited creative versions through a single tag across streaming, podcast and broadcast radio formats. Once a campaign is live, real-time analytics report impressions over time, by device and operating system, top-delivered creatives and the path taken through the script, with the live dashboard shareable with ad operations and campaign managers.

Alongside self-serve use of the platform, AMA operates a managed service in which its in-house creative team produces campaigns for advertisers.

Business model

AMA licenses its dynamic creative and ad-serving platform, AMA Studio, to audio advertising professionals, and additionally offers a managed service in which its in-house creative team produces and runs campaigns on behalf of clients. Ads built in Studio are served into clients' existing ad-tech platforms, and campaigns can be measured by a third-party measurement vendor of the client's choosing.

Traction

The company reports more than 10 billion ad impressions served to date and lists Fortune 500 advertisers such as American Express, Target, Starbucks and Under Armour among managed-service clients. It says independent third-party studies have shown lift on metrics including ad recall, brand lift, foot traffic, site visits and sales.
