The Challenge & Our Approach

Bidstack is a global in-game advertising platform connecting brands with gaming audiences through immersive digital placements. As ad volumes scaled, manual review and measurement processes became a bottleneck — slowing approvals and limiting value capture.


Pivotal partnered with Bidstack to automate image evaluation and cross-platform ad detection using advanced computer vision models — reducing manual workload and unlocking new ways to measure media performance.


Game publishers were manually reviewing thousands of ad images to ensure brand safety and compliance, delaying campaign approvals for AAA game titles.


Meanwhile, existing measurement systems excluded ad views from streaming platforms like Twitch and YouTube, under-reporting exposure and lowering perceived ad value.
