AdButler is an independent ad serving platform developed by SparkLIT Networks Inc., a Canadian software company headquartered in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1999 by Rajiv Khaneja, the platform is used by publishers, retailers, agencies, and advertising networks.
Overview
[edit ]AdButler's cloud-based platform lets businesses deliver, manage, and track digital advertising campaigns from a single interface. Ad formats covered include display, video, native, email/newsletter, mobile, and digital out-of-home (DOOH). AdButler serves more than 1,200 clients worldwide, processing billions of ad impressions across its infrastructure.
SparkLIT Networks Inc operates with a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model and includes a white-label portal for businesses to brand the platform as their own. AdButler also provides a RESTful API for developers to build custom ad serving workflows and integrations. With more than 100 servers across its global network, AdButler has recorded 100% uptime since 2017. SparkLIT Networks Inc is SOC2 Type 2 certified, carbon neutral, and holds active membership in the IAB Tech Lab.[1] AdButler's approach to self-serve advertising and direct publisher-advertiser relationships has been covered in industry trade publications including AdMonsters.[2] AdButler's positioning against programmatic middlemen and Google lock-in has also been covered in independent trade publications.[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, in response to the deprecation of third-party cookies across major browsers. Built-in compliance tools support GDPR and CCPA requirements.
In 2025, AdButler introduced compatibility with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling integration with AI-powered developer tools and agentic workflows.
In April 2026, AdButler launched Commerce Catalyst, a platform that lets organizations build and operate their own owned media networks using AdButler's ad serving infrastructure. Commerce Catalyst provides a self-service environment for advertisers and partners, a unified data layer connecting audiences, catalogs, and inventory, and open APIs for integration with existing ecommerce and data systems.[5]
Recognition
[edit ]AdButler was named to The Globe and Mail's 2025 Report on Business ranking of Canada's Top Growing Companies, following a three-year revenue growth of 148%.[6]
AdButler was also named to the Financial Times' The Americas' Fastest-Growing Companies list for two consecutive years — in 2025[7] and in 2026,[8] making AdButler one of the few Canadian technology companies to achieve this back-to-back international recognition.
History
[edit ]AdButler has been in operation for over 25 years, placing it among the longest-running independent ad servers.[9]
