Job description

Who we are

Venatus is the gaming advertising specialist. We connect brands with audiences In the Zone and grow the value of those audiences for the publishers that built them. We operate at the intersection of content, mindset, and commercial impact, turning gaming attention into measurable outcomes for brands and sustainable revenue for publishers.

Recognizable brands like EA, Miniclip, Scopely, and Rovio come to us for campaigns that work. Around 900 run through us directly each year, built by our in-house creative team and sold across both direct and programmatic channels. Many of our publisher partners have been with us for more than a decade.

This is an exciting moment for Venatus. Our acquisition by MediaScale Capital Limited will broaden what we can offer publishers and advertisers alike, adding data and identity tools, technology and infrastructure to the audience expertise we are built on.

London is our HQ, with regional teams in Amsterdam, Chicago, LA, New York, Sydney, Seoul, and Manila.
