Why Adlook?
A real leadership mandate. This isn't inheriting a built-out org — it's building one. You'll shape the team, the strategy, and the North America playbook from close to zero.
Backed, not bootstrapped. As part of RTB House Group, you get the stability and resources of an established global player while still working with startup speed and autonomy.
A seat at the table. Direct visibility with senior leadership and a real say in how Adlook shows up commercially in the region.
Momentum. North America is a strategic growth priority right now — you're joining at the point where the impact of what you build is most visible.

What We Do
Adlook is redefining how brands grow across the open web and Connected TV. We are an independent, self-driving media buying platform for the open internet – AI-powered and outcomes-focused. Our mission is to empower product-driven brands to grow faster and smarter - cutting through digital noise and turning media into measurable results. Programmatic advertising has failed to deliver on its promise. Targeting data is often inaccurate - with studies showing 82% of users misclassified in third-party segments. Media efficiency remains poor, with less than half of ad spend reaching publishers. And ecosystem complexity forces advertisers into opaque and inefficient supply paths. Adlook fixes these flaws with a fully integrated, outcome-driven approach. Our proprietary Smart Audiences leverage generative AI to double targeting precision compared to legacy segments. Our Deep Learning Bidder ensures 90% more efficient media buying paths, while our built-in Supply Path Optimization delivers seven times better media quality. With partnerships across Adelaide, Lumen, and Scope3, we lead in measuring and optimizing attention, brand lift, and sustainability impact. Founded in 2022, Adlook operates across 10 global offices with 200+ experts, backed by 400+ engineers within a global AdTech cooperating with 7,000+ advertisers in 100+ markets. Trusted by brands from automotive to FMCG, Adlook brings together deep technology and human expertise to prove that in a complex digital world, advertising can be both effective and efficient. It’s how we finally bring programmatic to a place where it can rise to its original promise.
