Nativo (often listed in software catalogs as "Nativo Solutions") is a native advertising and content technology platform that enables brands and publishers to turn stories, articles, and social content into scalable, measurable media. The platform focuses on the "mid-funnel"—where consideration and content consumption happen—by delivering non-interruptive, content-led ad experiences within trusted publisher environments.
Founded in 2010 by Justin Choi and headquartered in El Segundo, California, Nativo combines an ad server, supply-side platform (SSP), and creative management tools built specifically for sponsored content and native formats. Advertisers can run native article, display, video, stories, and high-impact formats across thousands of premium publisher sites, while publishers use Nativo to sell, traffic, and optimize direct-sold sponsored content and programmatic native at scale. The platform includes advanced features such as the ContentAI generative AI suite, Brand Rank mid-funnel measurement, predictive audiences, and social amplification tools that repurpose existing social posts as native ads.
The company is an Asian American–owned, NMSDC-certified Minority Business Enterprise and holds more than a dozen patents related to content and native ad delivery. Over the years, Nativo has been recognized with awards such as the Digiday Technology Award for Best Content Marketing Platform and multiple culture awards from Comparably. It reports working with hundreds of brands and thousands of premium publisher websites globally, including well-known media properties and destination marketers.
In November 2025, Life360 announced a definitive agreement to acquire Nativo in a transaction valued at approximately $120 million. Following close, Nativo is expected to operate as part of Life360’s broader advertising and data platform, combining Life360’s first-party family and location insights with Nativo’s premium publisher network and native ad technology. This positions Nativo as a key component in a full-funnel, family-safe advertising ecosystem while continuing to support brands and publishers on the open web.
