Founder story

AdCritter was founded in 2014 in Nashville, Tennessee, by Gabriel Smith and Eric Busby. Having spent years in media production and online instruction, Smith realized that small local businesses were effectively priced out of TV and billboard advertising. They created AdCritter to democratize multi-channel advertising with self-serve software.
