Why Fyllo

The way advertisers reach, connect with, and engage customers is changing dramatically. With third-party tracking cookies going away, advertisers of all descriptions need a bridge to transition away from cookie-based targeting toward privacy-compliant methods of finding their customers. Fyllo gives them that bridge.

In 2022, as audience targeting became more privacy-regulated and digital marketing more omnichannel, Fyllo acquired Semasio, a provider of next-gen contextual targeting solutions. We are now on a mission to power outperformance in a privacy-first world. With access to the world's most progressive audiences and the most comprehensive contextual platform available, our industry-leading advertising solutions are trusted by Fortune 500 companies and emerging brands to increase reach, boost efficiency, and maximize ROI.

Our team is global, located in the US, UK, Portugal, Germany and Denmark. We remain tight-knit across time zones through open communication and consistent collaboration. We care about cultivating an inclusive, approachable and ambitious culture while having fun along the way. We believe diversity fosters creativity, innovation and a sense of community.
