About adlicious
adlicious was founded in 2014 as one of the first independent and purely programmatic media agencies. From the outset, the focus was on combining data and technology to achieve better media activation. Many years of experience with many different platforms ultimately led to the decision to develop our own technology to close the existing gap between creation, data and media. Today, adlicious has developed into a technology-driven full-service digital agency and is therefore able to provide its customers with integrated and fully customizable media solutions across the entire customer journey and all digital channels.
