US Media is a media hub leader in multichannel advertising in LATAM

ABOUT US

Bruno Almeida, Founder and CEO of US Media, started his career in digital media in 1998 in Miami.  During the first 5 years, he worked in the sales, marketing and account management departments in leading digital publishers from the time, such as UOL and StarMedia.

In 2003, he founded US Media in order to solve a problem — advertisers and agencies started to be interested in this relativity new medium but they new little about digital media, specially in Latin America.  Then, US Media created a Media Services called International Media Buying providing cross-boarder media planning and buying.

In 2008, US Media created its first Proprietary Ad Products called Jumba Ad Network with the objective to offer performance oriented solutions to its clients.  Jumba grew to become a leading ad network of the time.  Because of the success of Jumba, US Media created MediaDesk DSP in 2012.  During this period, US Media opened many offices / markets throughout Latin America.

US Media closed Jumba Ad Network and MediaDesk DSP in 2016 and focused in developing the Exclusive Ad Partners business solutions.  US Media won the exclusive ad reseller business for global leading brands such as Tinder, WeTransfer, Shazam, TechTarget, Amadeus and Fandom.

Understanding that not all publishers require the complete Exclusive Ad Reselling solution, US Media created a Financial Services called Clearing House in 2018, for those publishers that only require local currency invoicing and collection.

US Media’s most recent solution (2019) is Preferred Ad Partners in which we became certified by global digital self-service platforms and operate them in the region on behalf of advertisers and agencies.

With more than 20 years in the making, US Media continues to innovate and bring new media products and services, becoming a media hub leader in multichannel advertising in Latin America.
