Why Gravy?
As marketing people we're constantly asked the same question by developers and publishers, "I've got great traffic, but how do I make money from it?" Our experience is on the supply-side of the revenue stream- advertising agencies and media companies. We know what brands, and their agencies, want for their money. And so was born Gravy, the digital revenue consultancy. Gravy helps web start ups, publishers and digital brands figure out how to create income without diminishing user experience or dilute a brand's DNA. In fact, if done right, Gravy can actually improve the utility of your property and enhance user loyalty.

Gravy is the sum total of four experts in the field of online media planning, creative and production. Altogether that's 60 years of experience in a field that didn't exist 10 years ago. We know what works (and doesnt). We know how advertising agencies, media companies, marketers and production companies operate. We know who to talk to and how to get deals done. Our clients included Volkswagen and Burger King. In 2006, we bought one of every 16 online video banners in the U.S.
