Company Summary

Cympel is an advertising platform that places functional mini-websites where everyone else is placing static or rich media banners. Since users aren't redirected off of their content there is a higher propensity to interact with the ads which significantly increases ad conversion. Cympel ads can do anything a regular website can do, such as: user signups, issue coupons, qualify leads, and facilitate personalized, real-time offers.
