Powering Performance Marketplaces in Digital Media

Quin Street is a pioneer in powering decentralized online marketplaces that match searchers and “research and compare” consumers with brands. We run these virtual‑ and private‑label marketplaces in one of the nation’s largest media networks.

Our industry‑leading segmentation and AI‑driven matching technologies help consumers find better solutions and brands faster. They allow brands to target and reach in‑market customer prospects with pinpoint segment‑by‑segment accuracy, and to pay only for performance results.

Our campaign‑results‑driven matching decision engines and optimization algorithms are built from over 20 years and billions of dollars of online media experience.
