Global adtech firm Affle is doubling down on product innovation in the AI era, appointing veteran adtech executive Martin Price as Vice President of Products at its U.S. subsidiary.

In the new role, Price will lead product strategy and innovation for Affle’s 3i verticalized AI platform, with a mandate to accelerate growth of the company’s consumer intelligence and mobile advertising ecosystem.

The hire comes as Affle expands its footprint in developed markets and looks to scale its AI-driven advertising platforms amid intensifying competition across the mobile adtech sector.

A Veteran of the Mobile Advertising Industry

Price brings more than two decades of experience across the digital advertising ecosystem, having previously held senior product leadership roles at companies including Liftoff, Vungle, Yahoo, Vdopia, OpenX, and BidMachine.

That background spans mobile advertising networks, programmatic platforms, and large-scale digital media ecosystems—experience Affle says will help guide the next phase of its product development.

Price’s immediate focus will be expanding Affle’s AI-led consumer platform, which combines data-driven audience insights, mobile advertising technology, and generative AI capabilities to deliver personalized marketing experiences for brands and advertisers.

Driving the 3i Strategy

At the center of Affle’s technology roadmap is its “3i” strategy, which emphasizes innovation, impact, and intelligence across its AI-powered marketing platforms.

According to Charles Yong, Price’s appointment is intended to translate that strategy into market-ready products with stronger vertical integration of data and AI capabilities.

Yong also pointed to the company’s intellectual property portfolio—39 unique patents covering roughly 300 enforceable patent claims—as a key foundation for future product innovation.

The company believes that combining proprietary technology with AI-driven product leadership will help it unlock new opportunities across advertising and consumer engagement.

Expanding in Developed Markets

The appointment also reflects Affle’s broader expansion push across developed markets under Sameer Sondhi, CEO of North America and Chief Strategic Investments Officer.

Sondhi said Price’s track record building scalable products in the adtech ecosystem made him a natural fit for the company’s next growth phase.

“Martin brings a powerful combination of strategic vision, deep industry knowledge, strong market understanding, and execution discipline,” Sondhi said.

His experience developing high-impact advertising platforms will help the company strengthen its presence among brands and advertisers in mature digital markets, where competition among adtech providers is particularly intense.

AI and the Future of Mobile Advertising

Affle’s platforms focus on AI-powered consumer intelligence, enabling advertisers to optimize targeting, personalize engagement, and maximize marketing ROI across mobile channels.

The company combines proprietary data, audience insights, and generative AI technologies to help brands connect with users throughout the mobile marketing journey.

Increasingly, that means moving beyond traditional automation toward adaptive AI systems capable of responding to user behavior in real time.

Price says that shift is reshaping the industry.

“Affle is uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI-driven consumer intelligence and performance-led marketing,” he said.

His priority will be maintaining an innovation-driven product strategy while delivering measurable business outcomes for advertisers and partners.

The Next Phase of AdTech Platforms

The global adtech sector is undergoing rapid transformation as generative AI and machine learning reshape everything from ad creation to campaign optimization.

Platforms that once focused primarily on media buying and programmatic infrastructure are now evolving into end-to-end intelligence engines capable of predicting user behavior and influencing marketing outcomes.

Affle’s strategy reflects that broader shift.

By strengthening its product leadership and expanding its AI platform capabilities, the company is aiming to position itself as a key player in the next generation of mobile marketing technology.

And with Price now guiding product development, Affle is betting that deeper AI integration—and smarter consumer intelligence—will define the future of digital advertising.
