We put brands on the screens people look at.
The advertising network and engineering team building real-time infrastructure for African out-of-home and in-app advertising.
To make premium advertising measurable, real-time and accessible across Africa, from a billboard in Douala to an ad slot inside an app.
Two companies wearing one logo.
Bright Face Ads is equal parts media owner and software company, and that's our advantage.
An advertising network
Premium video and image billboards across Cameroon's busiest cities, bookable in real time and sold by the impression.
An engineering team
The people you hire to build advertising into your own product, an SDK, an API, and an OpenRTB auction engine.
We're a technology company that happens to sell attention.
Our bidding pipeline runs on Scala, Python and Kafka, resolving millions of OpenRTB auctions a day with low latency and high fault tolerance. The same engine powers our screens, our distribution and the SDK we hand to other developers.
