Warning: Clever Ads/High Reach Media Failed to Honour Agreement
I recently entered into a two-month trial agreement with a representative from High Reach Media for a Clever Ads digital banner campaign. Despite the significant time invested in brokering the deal and installing the ad code, the company failed to meet its basic obligations.
The Issues:
Breach of Payment Terms: The agreement stated payment would be made within 24–48 hours of launch. After a week of serving ads and multiple follow-ups, no payment was received.
Arbitrary Termination: After the ads had already been running for over a week, I was told "leadership" decided to cancel due to "insufficient traffic."
Moving Goalposts: Traffic requirements were never part of the original terms. Furthermore, when I provided Independent Analytics proving the traffic stats were accurate, they simply ignored the data.
In my experience, this platform operates in bad faith. They secured a week of free advertising under the guise of a long-term contract, then backed out once it was time to pay. I would strongly advise other publishers to avoid doing business with High Reach Media or Clever Ads.
