# Getting Started

Flow is the Commerce Media Platform transforming how retailers, e-commerce platforms, marketplaces, and brands leverage audience data. Our mission is to help businesses unlock the power of first-party data - whether through audience monetisation, precision targeting, or both. 

The documentation you need will depend on how you’re using the Flow Platform. There are two types of users:

1. [Publishers](/publisher-documentation.md)
2. [Advertisers](/advertiser-documentation.md)
