The event for modern marketing and media, ad:tech, returned to its New York location on November 4. Held over a span of two days, ad:tech featured compelling keynote speakers, panels and innovative startups, one of which was crowned the winner of the live pitch N3 Startup Competition.
Ad:tech recognized AdHawk as this year’s winning startup for N3 ““ Now. New. Next. The competition, which featured 12 pitch presentations representing the future of advertising and marketing technology, was held in a “Shark Tank” style, judged by a panel of top brands, agencies, and venture capitalists. The three finalists of the competition advanced to a round of audience voting at the event, where AdHawk was awarded the winner.
Led by a team of former Google employees, the startup uses software to simplify the management of digital advertising. It collects all ad data for its users and displays it onto one single dashboard with real time updates. Using the data provided, the software goes a step further by providing performance enhancement opportunities that users can review and accept.
The competition provided AdHawk the opportunity to advance their startup among potential investors. CEO Todd Saunders reflected on this year’s competition:
“As part of the N3 competition we were able to network with hundreds of cutting-edge companies and get invaluable feedback from accomplished judges. It’s great to see so many innovative companies come together, share ideas, get feedback, and possibly work together to create a better industry for everyone.”
