Using its exclusive technology called Appviews, URX dynamically extracts information from a publisher’s page, to understand what a user is interested in. Then, based on its indexed mobile content and a clever algorithm – Knowledge Graph – URX can predict the next actions a user may take after seeing specific content. On the final step, users are presented with relevant, product-level ad content, that takes advantage of deep linking, to create minimum click hops.

It’s still unknown how Pinterest would want to use URX’s technology and resources, however, our guess is that it will want to use it to upgrade its mobile product offering. With Rich Pins that can show information about products, prices and their availability, we can see how URX’s know-how could help them create relevant ads, on and off the platform, to create an even better ROI.
