November 12, 2020 --- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) is pleased to announce that it has been certified by the US company Twitter, Inc. (Twitter), as an Audience Partner under the Twitter Official Partner Program. This certification was given in recognition of its initiatives related to AudienceOne^®, a DMPdeveloped and provided by DAC. Utilizing AudienceOne^®, one of Japan’s largest DMP, DAC works with Twitter to provide more effective ad delivery services and develop new services.

Within the DAC Group, DAC is the second to be certified a Twitter Official Partner, following Torchlight, Inc., which operates an advertising management platform called Sherpa and received certification as a Twitter Official Partner in the ad technology category.

With privacy-conscious data utilization becoming increasingly important in corporate marketing activities, Twitter and other advertisers need to engage quickly and continuously in the PDCA cycle of setting target audiences, conducting advanced data analysis of ad effect and managing ads efficiently to maintain profitability.

DAC first linked its AudienceOne^® with Twitter in November 2016 (*2) and has since been providing ongoing support to enable companies to better target their ads on Twitter and maximize results. In recognition of these efforts, DAC has been certified a Twitter Official Partner Audience Partner. The Twitter Official Partner Program recognizes companies that provide high-quality products and specialized services on the platform.

In addition to DAC-owned first-party data (site visitors, app users, members, existing customers, etc.), companies that use DAC’s AudienceOne^® can utilize second-party data owned by partner companies (purchasing data, location data, TV viewership data, etc.) and third-party data (demographics, lifestyles, hobbies, interests, etc.) for targeted or excluded ad delivery on Twitter. This enables companies to comprehensively manage ad delivery, from the setting of the target audience, analysis and operations, for more effective social media marketing.

The DAC Group will continue to utilize data and reinforce its technologies to support Twitter and other client companies’ social media marketing efforts.

（*1）AudienceOne® integrates various data to analyze and visualize users’ behavior, CRM, advertising campaign and panel survey results, which provide marketers an environment where they can pursue new user acquisition and improve LTV of existing users. https://solutions.dac.co.jp/audienceone (Japanese)
