The GumGum Platform™ and Mindset Graph™ connect contextual, attention, and creative to deliver relevant, privacy-respecting ads that enhance user experience and empower brands to drive outcomes.

GumGum, the contextual-first technology leader transforming digital advertising, announced the launch of the GumGum Platform, a flagship solution that unifies its three main product lines: GumGum Contextual, GumGum Attention, and GumGum Creative. The company has also announced the launch of a proprietary Mindset Graph, a predictive data engine aligning consumer mindsets with advertiser goals, available through the GumGum Platform or as a standalone solution. Built for today’s digital consumer—who demand ads uphold privacy, not undermine it—these solutions power more relevant and non-invasive online experiences while maximizing brand performance.

“We’re proving you can build genuine connections without invading people’s digital lives. It’s advertising technology that respects your privacy and actually works,” said GumGum CEO, Phil Schraeder.

Let’s face it: people have largely given up on traditional, identity-based advertising. Every day, outdated strategies and technologies combine to ambush and overwhelm users with creepy, targeted, and irrelevant ads, leading to consumer fatigue and distrust. Consequently, it is no surprise that more users are turning to ad blockers and turning their backs on brands that just don’t get it.

“Old-school, identity-based targeting is all data and no insight,” said Phil Schraeder, CEO of GumGum. “The GumGum Platform and Mindset Graph change that by providing access to contextual, attention, and creative solutions that deliver ads that truly resonate—right time, right mindset, no stalking required. We’re proving you can build genuine connections without invading people’s digital lives. It’s advertising technology that respects your privacy and actually works.”

The GumGum Platform unifies GumGum’s solutions: GumGum Contextual (formerly Verity™) leverages artificial intelligence for meaningful, content-based targeting signals; GumGum Attention (previously Playground xyz’s Attention Intelligence Platform) measures ad attention, linking campaign effectiveness to real-world outcomes; and GumGum Creative delivers high-impact, attention-grabbing ads that capture consumer interest, aligning to their mindset, in that moment. This integrated approach enables advertisers to create more effective, targeted campaigns that resonate with audiences.

Here’s a closer look at the three core products comprising the GumGum Platform:

• GumGum Contextual: GumGum Contextual has seen over 100% year-over-year growth and powers next-generation content understanding to benefit users, advertisers, and publishers.
