This new partnership will allow Swelen by Kwanko to offer agencies and advertisers more extensive mobile inventories both in France and abroad,” explained Antony Araujo, Head of Operations Swelen. “Gameloft has a particularly engaged audience, and this will enable us to expand our audience clusters and further cement our user-centric approach.

“We are delighted to be working with Kwanko,” added Cyril Guilleminot, Director for France & Benelux at Gameloft. “Our partnership means that advertisers and agencies can reach mobile audiences via a secure, transparent and attractive environment, including videos and other display formats”.

Under this new strategic partnership, Gameloft Advertising Solutions will benefit from Kwanko’s expertise and the great features of the Swelen platform.

Performance-based marketing specialist Kwanko offers a range of cross-device digital advertising solutions capable of collecting and exploiting data from its three platforms (desktop, mobile and premium emailing).

Kwanko is currently the only company that offers this 360° data capability in France a market traditionally divided into web or mobile specialists, added Araujo. “This gives us a major competitive edge, since every user will naturally have a computer, a smartphone and an email address. It means we have three different ways to reach a single user.
