We would like to introduce you to
CROM, a blockchain based transaction platform for the digital advertising industry.
We are an international team of experienced people working in the digital marketing space. We are based in Berlin, Germany. In our 15+ years journey in the industry, we were always faced with the challenges and flaws the established processes and business setups in that industry have. There are recurring problems with payments, trust and liquidity. We visualized some of this "mess" on our CROM website.
While constantly looking for ways to improve this situation, we turned our attention to blockchain based transaction handling about 15 months ago. We started to model a modern payment implementation based on the growing acceptance of crypto currencies and its efficient payment mechanics. Ethereum-based smart contracts are the foundation from which to build. And from here it really started.
This is how we imagine an efficient transaction handling should work. This is CROM.We started shaping and proving our plan by getting valuable information from industry leaders both from the advertiser and publisher side, and we gathered a lot of valuable inputs and interest from blockchain enthusiasts. Then the ICO train came along and provided a great way to accelerate our progress. So, we decided to jump on this opportunity and here we are.
This our ICO ANN thread at bitcointalk. Obviously, our company related accounts on this board are a little too young to have reached a junior account here that allows us to insert pictures (for now) in our post, but trust us – we are old guys when it comes to industry experience. And yes, we do have visuals, please visit our website

THE MISSIONThe market:The overall digital advertising market turns over $500B/year. This can eventually be addressed by CROM. Initially, we will work within the $6.8B/year performance marketing ecosystem.
How we are going to do it:CROM is the first real-world application of blockchain technology for the performance advertising industry. We build a service that takes event tracking into the blockchain, connects tracked events to payouts and forwards payouts along the value chain.
CROM is designed to work alongside existing processes and can easily be linked to existing platforms. Everything is geared towards low barriers for adoption. Our team of advisors is carefully chosen to give us deep roots in the digital advertising industry. This allows us to develop the platform in close cooperation with the future clients.
CROM grants access to a complete new set of methods that will fundamentally change the way settlements are processed in the digital advertising value chain. Now that blockchain technology has reached a more mature state, CROM takes advantage of the solutions available and combines smart contracts with cryptocurrency based payment.
CROM is tailored to the digital performance advertisement industry and solves problems that all current implementations cannot cope with.
