“With the recent release last year of the IAB Dynamic Content Ad Standard, co-authored by Spongecell, we are truly on the cusp of realizing the full potential of personalized marketing at scale,” said Ben Kartzman, Spongecell CEO. “Against this backdrop, Spongecell is excited about leveraging the Grapeshot technology to further enhance our ability to optimize hyper-relevant targeting based on dynamic consumer data.”
Agencies, who use real-time, dynamic data to personalize ads routinely see boosts in campaign performance. When polled on the primary benefits of these personalized ads, 40.2% cited increased engagements and 39% cited increased click-through rates. (eMarketer, September 2015) For example, with page-level keywords, an advertiser can sculpt its targets beyond general sports enthusiasts and distinguish between cricket and ice hockey fans.
“The combination of Grapeshot’s word ranking technology and Spongecell’s dynamic creative platform will create an unparalleled level of smart targeting and hyper-relevant creative decisioning,” said John Snyder, Co-Founder and CEO at Grapeshot.
