India's largest consumer internet company, Times Internet Limited, has announced the next generation of their smart marketing platform - Colombia. The company has been consistently revolutionizing online advertising technology and has now transformed the platform to give complete control to marketers in creating and reaching their audience digitally.

The new Colombia platform addresses the need for marketers to have a bigger say in how and where they would like their content to go. What began as a journey in 2015, when TIL extended their advertising platforms to include native and content advertising reach over and above the display advertising format with the launch of the Colombia Marketing Network, has culminated in how the site has changed further.
