Spond Ad Platform — Current State

Monetization Model

Spond uses "Brand Partnerships" — not a traditional programmatic ad platform. No self-serve buying, no programmatic marketplace, no third-party ad tag support detected.

Ad Formats (as of March 2026)

Format	Description	Notes
Messages & Notifications	Brand info in message stream	"Inform about useful products and services"
Comment Fields	Brand content with tips/advice	The format Kai showed in screenshot
Splash Screen	Full-screen message on first daily app open	Best candidate for Cavai interactive ads
Event Response Confirmations	Branded message on attendance confirmation	Triggered format
