In 2018, Stephen Magli, a visionary with a rich background in AdTech, recognized a critical gap in the digital advertising landscape. Frustrated by agencies being constrained to limited platforms and siloed data, he founded AI Digital as a people-driven, technology-centric organization with a mission to deliver marketing nirvana through the 'Open Garden' approach - a philosophy centered on providing agile total access across the fragmented media ecosystem.

AI Digital has since evolved into an AI-native media consultancy that helps agencies and brands navigate today's complex programmatic landscape. The company combines hands-on expertise with proprietary AI solutions to deliver measurable impact across display, video, CTV/OTT, paid social, and more. With over 270 programmatic experts operating in a fully remote global team, AI Digital serves clients worldwide, offering scaled data, robust technology, and premium inventory access. The company's proprietary Elevate platform provides transparency and accountability in media buying, while their Open Garden framework empowers brands to optimize across walled gardens without being locked into singular platforms.
