    Founded in 2022 and headquartered in New York City, Vibe.co offers an end-to-end advertising platform that combines proprietary artificial intelligence with direct access to premium streaming inventory and shopper profiles. The service lets performance marketers launch and optimize CTV campaigns while removing much of the cost and complexity historically associated with television advertising. More than 5,000 brands already use the platform, and customers can create spots through Vibe Studio, the company’s AI-powered video editor. Vibe.co’s roadmap focuses on adding generative and agentic AI capabilities for media buying and creative production, as well as expanding yield-management tools for publishers. The company also plans to deepen integrations with streaming partners and measurement providers as it scales across the United States. Following its recent Series B round, Vibe.co is valued at $410 million.
