About the Company
Kiip (Website)
Kiip is redefining the advertising industry through a “moments”-based value model, versus the traditional attention based screen estate model. It is a rewards network that offers direct rewards rather than ads, that come from its multiple partnerships with companies like Sephora, Popchips, Homerun.com, Sony Dash, and Vitamin Water.
