Dstillery is a marketing company that specializes in targeting users with digital advertisements across all media devices. The company, which was founded in 2008, was formerly known as Media6degrees. Its headquarters are based in New York, New York. Its clients include over 400 top-tier brands including AT&T, Allstate, DirecTV, NBC, and Disney.

Dstillery gathers information based on a user’s internet activity across multiple platforms using “Crosswalk” technology. This technology uses bits of code on a person’s device or browser to tailor specific ads based on the user’s activity online. Originally, Media6degrees used Mypsace to gather social data on consumer behavior by using a specific set of cookies. In 2013, the company rebranded to Dstillery and focused on expanding its user gathering techniques to a wider scale. On June 2013, Dstillery acquired EveryScreen Media for an undisclosed sum. With the purchase of EveryScreen Media, it allowed the company to now focus on mobile devices, tripling the amount of data gathered. Through “advanced data science”, the advertising company can now target a user’s IP address and associate devices across that IP address, allowing the company to follow a user across the digital and physical world. However, Dstillery offers an opt-out solution for consumers that don’t want to be tracked for advertisement purposes.

In 2014, Dstillery announced that it raised 24 million in Series C funding due to the opportunity created by the mobile business. The advertising targeting company also has plans to include in-app activity and to ultimately expand worldwide. With hopeful markets including U.K., Germany, and Japan.

Currently, Dstillery employs 112 employees. 12 of those employees coming from the acquired EveryScreen Media. Dstillery was founded by Foster Provost and Rod Hook. The current CEO of Dstillery is Tom Phillips.
