Krios Advertising Platform Overview

In today’s digital advertising industry, it has become harder than ever for publishers to generate real returns for the advertising dollars spent. Some Platforms exaggerate video views and click-through metrics using bots to mislead advertisers, yet digital advertising expenses continue to increase on these platforms each year, reaching $83 billion globally in 2017. Companies must figure out a way to reach their customers online without spending massive amounts of money on digital campaigns that don’t yield any significant returns.

To solve this problem, Krios has developed an affiliate network & campaign management platform using blockchain and Ethereum smart contract technology.  The platform allows businesses to connect with ad managers, content creators, graphic designers, copywriters, and influencers who have audiences that fit the target demographics of the products being advertised.

The goal of Krios is to make it cost effective for companies to establish brand awareness and promote products in an organic and more direct way.

The company launched their Pre-ICO in November 2017, and their ICO ran from January 8^th to May 15^th.

Since their ICO, Krios has made significant progress in the development of a working product, the formation of strategic partnerships, recruitment of new team members, and the start of live user testing sessions for their mainnet.

Platform Overview

The Krios platform is designed to enhance the relationship between advertisers (the company selling the products or service), publishers (the individual or company that is advertising the product or service in exchange for commissions), and customers (the individuals who are being called to action).

This relationship is fostered via Krios’ web and mobile platform:

Using Krios coins (KRI), advertisers get access to the Krios ecosystem and can use KRI tokens as a secure and transparent method for confirming and conducting transactions within the platform, where companies run efficient and cost-effective digital marketing campaigns.

To start, companies fill out details about their product or service, budget, needs, and timeline. The details are analyzed by Krios’ matching algorithm, which then presents the firm with several professional candidates or companies who fit the requirements of the request.

Companies can then build and manage their marketing campaigns on the platform, recruiting a variety of professionals (content managers, social media managers, advertisement managers, graphic designers, etc.) based on the specific needs of the advertiser.

Once a company selects which professionals are required, a deal is stuck between each party using the platform’s blockchain smart contract technology.

Krios also has an affiliate network with over 30,000 influencers. Within this network, businesses can be matched with endorsers who are looking to sell their services, eliminating the time and money required to discover and negotiate deals with endorsers in the general marketplace.

The Krios Coin (KRI)

The Krios coin is an ERC20 standard token that gives users access to the Krios platform and services. It is also the currency used for making transactions between publishers, advertisers, and marketing service providers on the platform. Krios coins can be bought on public cryptocurrency exchanges and stored in Krios wallets on the platform.
