Boost Media

Boost Media (formerly BoostCTR) was a digital-advertising creative-optimization SaaS platform that paired machine-learning analysis with a curated marketplace of more than 1,000 human writers and designers to test and improve ad creative across paid search, social, video, and display campaigns. Its technology powered roughly $1 billion in paid-search advertising for around 100 global brands across retail, education, financial services, healthcare and insurance, gaming, auto, and travel. Backed by Battery Ventures (Series C, $19M, 2014), Founder Collective, and 500 Global, the company raised about $42.8M total before being acquired by AdLabs Technology in April 2019. The company is now closed; its former domain (boostmedia.com) has been released and now serves a GoDaddy parking lander, and the acquirer's own domain (adlabs.ai) no longer resolves. This profile is retained as a Battery Ventures portfolio record. No public API, developer portal, or specification surface exists to enrich — the Internet Archive record of boostmedia.com shows a WordPress marketing site and blog only, with no developer, docs, or API path ever published.

Boost Media is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Marketing, Creative Optimization, and Paid Search.

  before being acquired by AdLabs Technology in April 2019. The company is now closed; its former domain (boostmedia.com)

x-status-detail: Acquired by AdLabs Technology in April 2019 (all assets, patents, trademarks and the website); operating
  status closed. Re-probed 2026-08-12 — boostmedia.com now RESOLVES (3.33.130.190, NS domaincontrol.com) but serves a GoDaddy
  parking lander, and boostctr.com redirects to a HugeDomains for-sale listing; the acquirer's domain adlabs.ai no longer
  resolves. The parking host answers HTTP 200 with the same 114-byte HTML redirect shell for EVERY path, including /.well-known/agent-card.json,
  /openapi.json and /swagger.json — treat all such 200s as soft-404s, not as a served surface.

  note: Full contract-discovery pass run against boostmedia.com and boostctr.com; every /.well-known/* and spec path returns
    a soft-200 parking shell, no real document. No artifacts written. Corrected the stale "NXDOMAIN" claim in x-status-detail
    — the domain resolves again, but as a parked lander.
x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: defunct
  detail: Boost Media closed after AdLabs Technology bought its assets in April 2019; boostmedia.com is now a GoDaddy parking
    lander that soft-200s every path with a 114-byte HTML redirect shell, boostctr.com redirects to a HugeDomains for-sale
    page, the acquirer's adlabs.ai does not resolve, and the Internet Archive record of the site shows only a WordPress marketing
    blog with no developer or API path.
