About
Ad+Verb

Origin

In 2016, Pokemon GO showed what happens when digital experiences create real-world participation.

That same year, a poster reading "advertising is the leech sucking on the lifeblood of capitalism" sparked a question: What if advertising could be regenerative instead of extractive?

That question became Ad+Verb Labs.

Thesis

Ad+Verb Labs builds products that prove participation beats surveillance.

Each tool is a different bet on the same future—one where users own their data, declare their needs, and participate as equals.

Ad+Verb = Noun + Verb. We add motion to static ideas. Every product we build transforms passive concepts into active, participatory experiences.
