Agency Holding Company Revolutionizing Advertising with Breakthrough AI Technologies

VADO in Latin means FORWARD which perfectly encapsulates our essence, one defined by movement, progress and forward momentum, an overarching commitment to driving the future of advertising through innovation and next-gen tech. But we’re not just about moving forward. We’re about leading the way, pioneering new methodologies, and redefining the digital landscape with agility and vision.

An Integrated Holding Company Transforming the Power of Marketing

Today businesses face more challenges than ever in achieving effective and profitable growth. To scale their revenue, they are tasked with finding and reaching their customers across an increasingly fragmented media landscape. The VADO Corp together represent an AI-powered, digital advertising partner – at the leading edge of performance marketing for more than a decade – helping brands and agencies navigate this landscape with innovative tech, predictive data, and expert talent.

Fueling AI-Driven Growth For Performance Marketers

With global AI projections foreseeing a $900 billion boost by 2026 and a remarkable $15.7 trillion by 2030, VADO is at the forefront of this transformative wave. Our focus on cutting-edge technology and data science led to the launch of AXi (Advanced Intelligence Solutions) in early 2023—a groundbreaking, privacy-safe AI solution designed to reshape digital advertising. By targeting the often overlooked mid-market, a sector representing a third of the US private sector and generating $13 trillion in revenue, VADO aims to democratize AI access with the goal of enabling unprecedented growth and revenue for mid-market agencies and brands.

“It took ChatGPT just 5 days to reach 1 million users, 1 billion cumulative visits in 3 months and an adoption rate which is 3x TikTok’s and 10x Instagram’s. The technology is developing exponentially.”
