RTB House made initial steps within their domestic market of Poland and after that started operations in rest of Europe. In December 2012, RTB House entered Italy, Portugal, Spain and at the beginning of 2013 the Netherlands. A month later, the firm was running campaigns in Germany. From April until October 2013, it began serving clients from Sweden, France, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Greece. At the beginning of 2014, the company launched its operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

In March 2013, RTB House acquired clients in the first CEE market – Bulgaria. In April 2013, the company launched its operations in Romania and Hungary, one month later in Turkey and Slovakia. Then, in June 2013 RTB House served initial campaigns in Russia and the Czech Republic. July 2013 brought new campaigns in Ukraine and Croatia, September in Serbia and Kazakhstan.

Solution development

In 2016 the company announced a new model relies on deep learning (currently the most promising subfield of AI-oriented research to craft digital features that recognize the attitude, intention and intent of internet users. It allows for accurate estimation of the conversion probability, which in turn makes personalized retargeting more efficient. The model uses mathematical functions inspired by the neurons in our brains. The general idea and results of RTB House deep learning approach were first time presented during an online advertising workshop, part of The 33rd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2016) in New York City.

Payment models

RTB House, in its advertising campaigns, utilizes payment models typical for online marketing. Within the CPC (Cost Per Click) model, the client will pay for clicks on the advertising creative. When using CPA (Cost Per Action) the base cost will either be a fixed amount paid for a specified action, or a percentage of sale (CPS, Cost Per Sale). Hybrid models, e.g. combining CPC and CPS, are also available.
