What is the EXADS email ad server?

Who is the EXADS email ad server built for?

How does email ad serving work with EXADS?
EXADS integrates with your existing Email Service Provider (ESP) to serve banner ads inside outgoing email newsletters. When a subscriber opens an email, the ad server dynamically delivers the most relevant ad based on targeting criteria such as subscriber behavior, location, device, keywords, and IP range — in real time at the moment of open.

Can I segment my email list to show different ads to different subscribers?
