Venatus

Venatus is an advertising technology company for gaming and entertainment content. Its Prosper platform combines direct sales with programmatic demand, video and high-impact ad formats, adblock recovery and consent management.

Its customers are publishers of websites, apps and browser games that outsource ad management and revenue optimisation, and brands that buy placements in, around and away from games. The website states that the company runs more than 900 directly sold campaigns each year.

Venatus was founded in 2010 by Matt Cannon and Rob Gay and is headquartered in London, UK. The website says it opened regional offices in the US and Australia in 2015 and employs over 120 people globally. Livingbridge announced an investment in 2021, and a blog post reports that the company has been acquired by Media Scale Capital Limited. Open roles listed on the site include revenue positions in the UK and in Melbourne, Australia.
