Collaboration Marks Significant Advancement in Privacy-Compliant Advertising for Brands and Publishers on the Open Web

NEW YORK, NY, and PARIS, FRANCE / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2024 / Collective Audience, Inc. (OTCQB:CAUD), a leading innovator of audience-based performance advertising and media, announced that through its newly-acquired BeOp subsidiary that specializes in cookieless, conversational advertising, the company has launched a strategic partnership with ID5, the leading identity provider for addressable advertising.

The collaboration includes integrating ID5 ID™, a next-generation, privacy-by-design identifier, into BeOp's software development kit (SDK).

BeOp's conversational formats provide brands and publishers new avenues for engaging and converting audiences on premium media. Augmented by the ID5 ID solution, BeOp's SDK now facilitates seamless and privacy-centric user targeting across external DSP.

"Our new partnership with ID5 underscores our commitment to pioneering the most effective and privacy-compliant advertising solutions on the market today," stated BeOp CPTO, Sébastien Robert. "Our customers can now benefit from powerful solutions that respect user privacy yet optimize advertising performance like never before."

ID5's robust identity framework empowers advertisers to achieve meaningful, measurable, and profitable omnichannel campaigns while sustaining the free internet ecosystem. By leveraging the unique power of ID5 ID, BeOp can deliver more precise and scalable addressable advertising with greater audience engagement and monetization.

According to ID5 co-founder and CEO, Mathieu Roche: "ID5's partnership with BeOp allows us to integrate our identity solutions into the AudienceCloud infrastructure and become an integral part of a new advertising format for the open web. This will enable ID5 to reach a wider range of premium publishers and advertisers. Together, we are enhancing the advertising ecosystem with solutions that prioritize user privacy while improving targeting efficiency."

Collective Audience CEO, Peter Bordes, commented: "We are thrilled to launch our ID5 collaboration as our first major infrastructure integration following our recent acquisition of BeOp. We see this as the first of many, as we continue to build out our global cloud infrastructure for advertising on the open web. This infrastructure empowers our partners with bespoke solutions, cookies, cookieless, all audience data and ID solutions on a single, unique platform. So, wherever the market goes or shifts, our partners will always have the best-of-kind infrastructure that enables them to reach, monetize and transact."

BeOp's media customers include more than 200 premium global publishers across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, with more than 50 million unique visitors per month. Its expert teams, based in France (Paris/Montpellier) and New York City, dominate the French market, working with more than 90% of France's premium publishers.

BeOp's premium publishers include Forbes, Le Monde, Amaury Media, Reworld Media, Prisma Media, McClatchy and Bauer Media UK. Top agency clients include Havas, Publicis, GroupM, Dentsu and Mediabrands, and top advertisers include Yoplait, L'Oréal, Club Med, International Olympic Committee, Paramount, and the government of France.

BeOp's conversational approach to advertising and marketing creates new communication possibilities for brands and media, enabling them to engage and convert consumers based on their personal interests. Featured examples of such conversational ad experiences BeOp has created for leading brands, including Range Rover, Tommy Hilfiger and Samsung, can be experienced here.
