AdRoll

AdRoll is an advertising technology platform focused on helping e-commerce, direct-to-consumer, retail, and growth-oriented businesses run full-funnel digital campaigns. Operating as the flagship customer-facing brand of NextRoll, Inc., it combines programmatic media buying, audience targeting, retargeting, measurement, and campaign management in a single platform.

Originally established under the Semantic Sugar, Inc. corporate umbrella in 2006, AdRoll launched commercially in 2007 and became known for making display retargeting more accessible to mid-market businesses. In 2019, AdRoll Group rebranded its corporate parent as NextRoll, while AdRoll continued as the consumer-focused advertising brand and RollWorks became the group’s B2B account-based marketing division.

Advertising and growth capabilities

AdRoll supports multichannel campaigns across the open web, social platforms, video, native inventory, and connected TV. Its offering includes:

• Display advertising and web retargeting
• Cross-device and cross-channel campaign orchestration
• Audience segmentation, customer-journey attribution, and marketing analytics
• Dynamic creative optimization and managed advertising services
• Account-based marketing through AdRoll ABM
• Developer APIs, audience-sync connectors, and e-commerce integrations

The platform’s BidIQ machine-learning technology uses behavioral signals to inform programmatic bidding across advertising channels. AdRoll also integrates with e-commerce systems including Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Adobe Commerce/Magento.

Market focus

AdRoll serves brands and organizations in e-commerce and direct-to-consumer commerce, retail and apparel, technology and B2B software, financial services, travel and leisure, and media, entertainment, and education.
