MNTN is ad tech’s fastest-growing performance TV platform, and Maximum Effort, is one of the rising stars of the creative world. MNTN believes that the meteoric rise of Connected TV presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to bring media and creative closer together. The demand for easy-to-use tech and superb, fast-turn creative is certain to climb thanks to an increase in inventory and advertisers new to TV – many of whom can’t afford upfronts. Independently, MNTN and Maximum Effort Marketing have embraced and excelled because of their commitment to simplicity and speed. Together, the opportunities are endless. MNTN’s proprietary technology delivers unprecedented return-on-ad-spend (ROAS) for performance marketers and is bringing scores of new advertisers to television, with over 60% of our clients never having run a TV ad before. MNTN launched Creative-as-a-Subscription model (CaaS) in December 2021 - a simpler way for brands to unite the creative development and media buying process together. MNTN’s self-service platform has transformed connected TV advertising by making it as simple and accessible as paid search and social – empowering marketers to launch and measure campaigns that focus on driving performance. With the introduction of CaaS, MNTN is removing traditional barriers to TV creative, giving marketers easy access to produce great TV creative without investing in anything but their media goals.

Now branded QuickFrame by MNTN, the company has a network of thousands of creators, streamlining the process of producing video ads for over 1,000 clients across 20 verticals.
