company overview
Swivel is the agentic execution layer for modern ad operations. We connect the sell side tech stack, align to operator goals, and execute decisions across platforms with speed and precision. As campaigns and complexity scale faster than teams can, Swivel gives operators leverage by turning their rules, logic, and strategy into continuous, accurate execution.
Teams stay fully in control. Swivel handles the repetitive, time-sensitive work that slows operators down, so they can focus on higher-value strategy and experimentation. The result: faster launches, cleaner operations, stronger performance, and revenue that grows without increasing headcount.
We’re building the future of ad ops: a connected, governed operating layer where strategy becomes action and teams can move with clarity, speed, and confidence.
