AdButler is an independent ad serving platform developed by SparkLIT Networks Inc. SparkLIT Networks Inc. is a Canadian software company founded in 1999 by Rajiv Khaneja in Victoria, British Columbia, where it continues to be headquartered. The company does business under the name AdButler. The platform is used by publishers, retailers, agencies, travel businesses, airlines, streaming services, video game companies, mobile apps, associations, and advertising networks.
Overview
[edit]AdButler's cloud-based platform allows businesses to deliver, manage, and track digital advertising campaigns from a single interface. Ad formats include display, video, native, email/newsletter, mobile, and digital out-of-home (DOOH). The company serves more than 1,200 clients worldwide, with billions of ad impressions served across its infrastructure.
AdButler operates with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model. The platform includes a white-label portal for businesses to brand the solution as their own. AdButler also provides a RESTful API for developers to build custom ad serving workflows and integrations. The company runs 100 servers across its global network and has maintained 100% uptime since 2017. AdButler is also SOC 2 Type II certified, carbon neutral, and holds an active membership in the IAB Tech Lab.[1] AdButler's self-serve advertising and direct publisher-advertiser relationships have been covered in a variety of industry trade publications including AdMonsters.[2] The company's stance against programmatic middlemen and the industry's reliance on Google's infrastructure has also received media coverage.[3][4]
Products and Features
[edit]AdButler's platform provides tools for campaign trafficking, audience targeting, yield optimization, real-time reporting, and programmatic advertising through header bidding and OpenRTB. The platform supports cookieless targeting and first-party data management. Compliance tools are built into the solution to support GDPR and CCPA requirements.
In early 2026, AdButler introduced support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). AdButler's MCP server lets businesses connect their ad serving directly to AI developer tools and agentic workflows.[5][6]
In April 2026, AdButler launched Commerce Catalyst, a solution for building and operating owned media networks using AdButler's ad serving infrastructure. Commerce Catalyst provides a self-serve environment for advertisers and partners. It also offers a unified data layer connecting audiences, catalogs, and inventory. The platform comes equipped with open APIs for integration with existing ecommerce and data systems.[1]
Recognition
[edit]AdButler was named to The Globe and Mail's 2025 Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies, after achieving three-year revenue growth of 148%.[7]
AdButler was also named to the Financial Times' The Americas' Fastest-Growing Companies list for two consecutive years, in 2025[8] and 2026.[9]
History
[edit]AdButler originated from a series of web-based products created by Khaneja in the late 1990s. These products were supported by banner advertising, which created a need for software to manage advertisements across multiple websites. Subsequently, Khaneja developed an internal ad server, which was later turned into a standalone product, known as AdButler.[10]
