Media iQ Partners with AppNexus to Grow Programmatic Advertising Business over 100%

LONDON, Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AppNexus, the world's leading independent advertising technology company, and Media iQ, the leading global analytics and technology company, today announced results of their ongoing commercial partnership. Over seven years, Media iQ has built bespoke products on AppNexus' open platform, delivering differentiated and powerful data insights for their advertiser clients, while growing its programmatic advertising business by over 100% and producing $250 million in revenue. As AppNexus doubles down on its investments in machine learning technology to benefit marketers and agencies, Media iQ continues to co-innovate and raise the bar in activating data-driven campaigns for its clients. 

"AppNexus is deeply committed to helping marketers and their technology partners achieve the same performance and efficiency on the open internet that they currently enjoy through closed internet platforms like Facebook," said Brian O'Kelley, CEO of AppNexus. "Pioneers like Media iQ have harnessed our technology platform to build tools that align with their clients' goals and deliver sophisticated campaigns at scale that grow smarter over time."

As an early adopter of AppNexus' technology, Media iQ built the framework of its insight and analytics platform, AiQ, by creating proprietary custom predictive models and uploading them directly to the AppNexus platform. By leveraging AppNexus' real-time data functionality to deliver granular and actionable data insights, Media iQ powers its ad buying offering by uploading and activating audience targeting segments quickly and at scale.

"AppNexus' open platform enables cost-effective innovation at scale – we could not have developed our business and seen the success we have in the market without the extent of differentiation that AppNexus' platform allowed us," said Gurman Hundal, CEO of Media iQ. "AppNexus has truly built a business on which we can in turn build and scale our business, and we are extremely excited to grow alongside their team."

The announcement comes on the heels of Media iQ's recent investment from ECI Partners, which will see the company continue its rapid growth through a strategy of diversification into new regions as well as through further investment into product development, leveraging AppNexus' global infrastructure.

"AppNexus and Media iQ are both sophisticated technology companies with a shared commitment to transforming programmatic buying in a way that empowers marketers and agencies," continued O'Kelley. "I am excited to see what innovation our partnership will produce in the near future."
