Tokyo, February 14, 2019 --- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) is pleased to announce that it will begin an ad delivery service utilizing the tie-up of its data management platform (DMP) AudienceOne^®(*1) with Profile Passport DMP(*2) offered by Blogwatcher, Inc. With this latest collaboration, ad agencies and advertisers will be able to use location information data from smart device apps to deliver ads on MarketOne^® DSP and a variety of other platforms regardless of device

AudienceOne^®, developed and provided by DAC, is one of Japan’s largest DMP with a huge volume of data related to its 480 million monthly unique browser cookies, 90 million mobile ad IDs, and more than 1 trillion data points, which it analyzes to provide high-definition third-party data. Blogwatcher’s Profile Passport DMP is a platform that accumulates, analyzes and utilizes location information data specifically from smartphones.

Both companies have been working together since July 2018 to support corporate marketing activities that utilize location information data across various devices (*3). With this new tie-up, data from DAC’s AudienceOne^® will be brought together with Blogwatcher’s Profile Passport DMP’s location information data, one of largest in Japan, for utilization in ad delivery. In addition, AudienceOne^®’s cross-device data, converted using DAC’s patented technology (*4), will enable companies to plan optimal customer communication for ad delivery over not just smart device apps but also Web browsers.

◆Actual ad delivery examples: Pinpointed ad delivery to the target audience
・ Repeat customers of a large-scale shopping mall were first segmented. Then, during a TV CM campaign period that was aired and timed during a sale, web-based video ad sale notifications were delivered to this segment to encourage store visits.
・ Frequent visitors to a university were segmented as university students or university-related people and sent corporate recruitment banner ads to promote job applications.

With data becoming increasingly important for corporate marketing activities, both companies will continue to actively develop new services and functions that support and enhance the data business from both the demand and supply sides.
