About

We build the auction so you can focus on the outcome.

Founded in 2019 in Amsterdam by ad-tech engineers and demand-side veterans, TrendBuzz operates a real-time bidding network used by 1,240+ buyers and publishers across 92 markets.

TrendBuzz team
Principles

Three principles, no exceptions.

Disclose everything

We publish a quarterly transparency report including take rates, bid acceptance and IVT. Every log row carries a bid reduction event.

Kill MFA at the edge

Made-for-advertising domains, manufactured supply paths and dark pools are blocked before the auction.

Engineer for the impression

Our P99 budget is 92ms. We choose architectural decisions that protect the impression first, the dashboard second.
