A Heartfelt Thank You from the MatchCraft Team
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary, the MatchCraft team wants to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our partners and the entire MatchCraft community. Without your support and trust, this milestone would not have been possible. You have been the backbone of our success, motivating us to push the boundaries of digital advertising and deliver exceptional solutions. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.
A Walk Down Memory Lane
Over the past 25 years, MatchCraft has evolved from a humble beginning in 1998 to become a global leader in digital advertising. We have witnessed numerous milestones and changes that have shaped our identity, so let’s take a look at a snippets from our history.
Inception and Early Growth
The journey of MatchCraft began with a passion for innovation in 1998, and we quickly established ourselves as a pioneer in digital advertising technology upon our partnership with our clients Fingerhut and Overture in 2001.
Expanding our Horizons
Breaking barriers, we expanded into the local space in 2004 with CitySearch where we developed taxonomy, complex and scalable campaigns, and local marketing for SMB aggregators. In 2008 we started to expand internationally. We also started working on the next version of the MatchCraft platform which was put into production in 2011.
Welcoming Change
By 2014, big changes were happening. Adapting to the ever-changing digital landscape, we continuously improved our platform, incorporating cutting-edge features and technologies to drive better results for our partners. These new features included big-name integrations like Facebook and Yelp.
Embracing the Future with Vendasta

As part of Vendasta, we are excited about the possibilities that await. The combined expertise of both companies will enable us to create a comprehensive suite of advertising solutions, empowering campaign managers to thrive in this highly competitive market.
