Digital advertising inspired by a 17th-century French poet

Over 400 years ago, French poet Jean de la Fontaine wrote fables in which he gave animals and objects personalities. A fox manipulated a crow, a talkative grasshopper begged an ant for food, and a lion built a friendship with a mouse. Those animals felt a range of emotions and had personal motives, which almost perfectly described their character. They were essentially personified – given a human nature.

While Jean de la Fontaine didn’t have a mobile phone, he was well ahead of his time because there is a very close parallel in digital advertising.

At Ogury, we’ve taken this concept of personification and applied it to our technology, giving a personal nature to audiences based on their interests. We believe that this is the way to ensure the highest performance on mobile in the next chapter of digital advertising.
