To discover all of these companies I scoured the Internet and viewed hundreds of websites. The task was daunting and tedious. The result was the below infographic. For a thorough understanding of the methodology deployed and definitions used please see the original unveiling here.

After all that research, I was pretty confident we captured almost all of the companies in native ad tech. In the days and weeks following publication, we received a glutton of comments about companies we missed. In total, we missed 21 companies that should have been included in the infographic.
For this, we apologize and want to ensure those companies and all other interested parties that the additional native ad tech brands have been noted for the next infographic. I’d like to take this opportunity to share the 21 native advertising technology vendors we missed in our research.
