Kargo is a New York-based advertising technology company founded in 2003. It operates a global media marketplace that serves brands and publishers across mobile, connected TV (CTV), social, and e-commerce channels. The company has offices in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Sydney, and Auckland.
Kargo's platform is built around several proprietary products. Its AI-powered Cohort Intelligence product uses contextual targeting to deliver audience precision comparable to cookie-based methods. Creative Composer supports ad creative production, while agentic media buying tools are designed to optimise campaign performance and outcomes. The company claims its creative formats hold attention twice as long as standard ads, and its marketplace is certified by Jounce Media as offering zero exposure to "made for advertising" sites.
The platform is oriented toward full-funnel campaign delivery, with stated outcomes including incremental brand lift, higher return on ad spend, and revenue optimisation for publishers. Kargo positions itself as a partner to large-scale advertisers seeking premium inventory and measurable results across digital channels.
