Overview
Advertima is building the missing infrastructure that brings the power of digital advertising to the physical world. Today, most advertising inside physical retail stores still operates like the internet did twenty years ago: static screens, no audience intelligence, and almost no measurable performance. Meanwhile, online advertising evolved into a trillion-dollar ecosystem powered by real-time data, automation, and programmatic infrastructure. We are changing that.
Advertima has built the technology that transforms physical retail environments into real-time, data-driven media channels. Using computer vision, edge computing, and distributed AI systems, we translate physical shoppers into anonymized digital audiences that can be measured, targeted, and activated in real time. This is not a theoretical vision or an incremental improvement. It is the creation of a completely new global technology standard.
Global retail leaders such as Walmart, Carrefour, FairPrice, SPAR, and EDEKA are deploying our technology across thousands of stores. Together, we are defining the global standard for In-store Retail Media. The technical challenge behind this is massive: our platform operates across large fleets of edge AI devices deployed globally, processes real-world sensor data in real time, and integrates with complex cloud infrastructure and the global adtech ecosystem. We follow a privacy-by-design philosophy, operating without processing and storing personal data or images while enabling audience intelligence for real-time performance media. This approach, rooted in Switzerland’s strong privacy culture, is a key reason global retailers trust Advertima.
Solving the combination of distributed systems, edge computing, AI inference, privacy-preserving data processing, and global-scale reliability is a hard engineering problem. We are building our core engineering team in Zurich. If you enjoy working on complex real-world systems and helping define a new global technology category, Advertima offers a rare opportunity.
