Our Story

Smartly was founded in 2013 by Kristo Ovaska and Tuomo Riekki to help brands launch and optimize Facebook advertising campaigns.

Our product vision has always been to scale, automate, and optimize digital advertising across multiple platforms. We grew our capability and offering first with Instagram advertising, followed by Pinterest and Snapchat advertising in 2020, and expanded to TikTok advertising in 2022.

Over the years, our platform evolved from Facebook advertising to multi-channel social advertising. With the acquisition of Ad-Lib.io in 2022, we also expanded into the Google ecosystem and tapped into Google advertising. Today, we provide the Smartly Digital Advertising Platform. Exciting times!

Our journey from Facebook-only to multi-channel has been an exhilarating one. We are proud of what we’ve built and excited for the opportunities still on the horizon. Through our continued growth, we remain laser-focused on helping advertisers gain unparalleled relevance and reach in the ever-changing digital advertising landscape.
