MGI – Media and Games Invest is an advertising software platform helping advertisers efficiently acquire customers across different media channels, as well as enabling publishers to efficiently and optimally monetize advertising space.

The programmatic adtech market is highly inefficient, with many layers of complexity each scraping a slice of cost. MGI, through its Verve brand, has built a vertically integrated solution that is gaining traction and growing share. We believe that many advertisers, publishers and intermediaries are ill-prepared for the ongoing withdrawal of Google cookies and that this presents Verve with a major opportunity to accelerate its presence with its established AI-driven solutions.
