SMART AND GDR BRING NEXT-GEN PRIVACY-SAFE TARGETING TO
THE NORDICS
[Stockholm, Paris, New York - May 23. 2022] Smart Adserver ("Smart") the leading independent adtech marketplace, and Global Data Resources ("GDR"), a global leader in ethically sourced audience data, today announced a new partnership to bring next-generation privacy-safe targeting to the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden).
PRIVACY-SAFE ENRICHED INVENTORY
Identity-safe advertising is the cornerstone of next-generation adtech, and more advertisers are testing the effectiveness of new ID-free solutions against the tried-and-true cookie. This unique partnership between Smart and Global Data Resources will help publishers to enrich their inventory with ID-free persona-segments, while allowing brands to precisely reach the audiences of their advertising campaigns.
The Smart and GDR partnership is a testament to how targeting in digital advertising is transitioning from tracking and storing private user data to transparent targeting with socio-demographic privacy-compliant data as the base. Reaching the right audience for the right ad campaign on the right channel is still critical - it just has to be done in a respectful and non-intrusive way.
This is what Smart and GDR bring to the Nordics.
ALIGNED ON IMPROVING TRANSPARENCY
"We’re very happy to collaborate with GDR, a trusted partner who's widely recognised for its footprint on enriched audience data in the Nordics, and to provide Nordic marketers with a 100% independent alternative to the existing targeting offerings. Together, we're fully aligned on improving transparency by allowing advertisers to take back control over their inventory and data assets.“
- Pierce Cook-Anderson, Managing Director Northern Europe, Smart
"Smart’s commitment to a better advertising landscape is adding valuable transparency to the advertising space for both publishers and buyers in the Nordics. We’re thrilled to partner with Smart and provide the Nordic marketers with efficient and non-intrusive reach of multi-level audiences."
- Göran Eklöf, Global Partnerships Director, Global Data Resources
