You know what sucks? Advertising.
(Yeah, we know it’s in our name. But stick with us here…)
We started AdCandy because advertising today sucks.
It shows up when you don’t want it to and tries to sell you stuff you don’t need. And it does it all with creepy robots that analyze everything you do online (without explicitly asking), which then put ugly ads all over your favorite websites. Gross.
At AdCandy, we exist to make advertising awesome… and that starts with solving a problem.
So what exactly is the problem? Well, think about it…
When you go online, you hardly ever see ads that are well-designed, useful, or exciting. Instead, you see ugly ads for stuff you don’t want from companies you don’t care about.
But you buy stuff… and you should be able to do it without being bombarded by digital litter all over the internet.
So here’s our solution…
When you come to the AdCandy website, we put you back in control—of what you see, when you see it, and where.
Rather than waiting for great advertising to come to you, we create a place that lets you find it on your terms. When you log into AdCandy, you control what kinds of ads you see by choosing the products, services or categories you’re interested in (no robots required).
Then the community (which includes you) controls the quality of everything you see on AdCandy. If it sucks, it goes away. If it’s awesome, it sticks around for a while.
It’s all in our grand pursuit of making the internet—and the ads that live there—totally awesome.
And also because we’re a little scared of robots.
