Supply-side curation is transforming programmatic advertising from a fragmented, open marketplace into a more intelligent and structured ecosystem. 

Curation enhances outcomes for buyers, empowers publishers with greater control, and unlocks new monetization opportunities for data partners and platforms.

Although, it requires thoughtful implementation to avoid added complexity.

We see a clear parallel between Juan Sebastián Elcano's journey (the Basque explorer who completed the first circumnavigation of the Earth in 1522) and the evolution of programmatic media. What began as a bold promise, to connect advertisers and audiences with precision and scale, has often veered off course, becoming fragmented and inefficient.

At Elcano, our mission is to bring programmatic back to its original promise: performance, intelligence, and efficiency. Like our namesake, we guide partners through complexity with clarity, resilience, and innovation.

As pioneers in supply-side curation, we’re redefining the digital media landscape by helping our partners not only navigate the ecosystem, but lead it.
