About Us
Paved is an established and growing online marketplace that connects email newsletters with some of the world’s largest brands.
Have you ever opened a newsletter and read “This newsletter is sponsored by…”.? That’s what we do—and reach millions of highly engaged subscribers every day.
Paved is the top-performing marketing channel for most of our advertisers. That’s because we monitor over 100,000 newsletters and use almost half a billion data points to provide them with the best recommendations, allowing them to launch campaigns effortlessly and spend wisely.
