AUSTIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KERV.ai, the leader in video analysis, performance, and monetization, today announced a strategic partnership with Canela Media, a leading technology and innovation-driven multicultural media company, to bring additional interactive advertising capabilities to Canela Media’s ecosystem.

This collaboration marks KERV.ai’s first partnership with a Spanish-language media company, further expanding its global footprint across a growing roster of premium publishers, OEMs, and platforms. As Canela Media continues to scale its advertising offerings, the company is focused on introducing innovative ad solutions that create more engaging experiences for both audiences and advertisers alike.

Through this partnership, Canela Media will integrate KERV.ai’s interactive video and shoppable creative technology across its ecosystem, enabling more immersive, commerce-driven ad experiences that unlock new opportunities for audience engagement, campaign performance, and monetization.
