Turn Attention Into Revenue

Downtime is a loyalty and engagement platform built for retailers, publishers, and retail media networks. We integrate into retailer and publisher environments to power branded engagement and rewards experiences inside existing loyalty programs. Consumers earn value in their loyalty accounts for watching short videos, answering polls, completing surveys, and engaging with other brand content
