MiQ, a global programmatic media partner, collaborated with Experian to enhance its identity spine and address the challenges of a cookieless era. By integrating Experian’s cross-device graph, MiQ expanded its audience reach and improved targeting accuracy, gaining a nomination for Best Cookieless Identification Technology. The partnership led to a 51% increase in seed audience reach and a 64% boost in universal ID targeting, with Experian’s solution matching 6.5 devices per IP address. 

Intuit Mailchimp, the leading AI-driven platform for email and marketing automation, earned a finalist slot for Best Personalization and A/B Testing Platform. Its automation tools allow companies to send personalized messages across channels, while A/B testing refines strategies based on customer preferences. For Club Soda, Mailchimp’s customer journeys, conditional content and integration tools enabled targeted, segmented communication. This approach led to high engagement rates, consistent sales and an average click-through rate of 3.14%, demonstrating the platform’s effectiveness in driving growth and generating revenue for businesses of all sizes.

For Best Sell-Side Programmatic Platform, Rise, an ad tech innovator, secured a nomination. Rise empowers publishers to optimize inventory and maximize revenue through AI-driven programmatic solutions. Specializing in mobile, desktop and CTV, Rise helps partners efficiently manage ad placements and boost audience engagement. Lift, the company’s omnichannel SSP solution enhances real-time bidding by optimizing auction logic for maximum efficiency. In partnership with Amazon Publisher Services, Rise achieved impressive results, including a 101% increase in spend and a 64% rise in win rate.

All in all, what the judges selected in 2024 shows that tech companies are empowering advertisers and publishers to provide more personalized campaigns, across multiple channels for stronger targeting, enhanced customer experiences and increased returns.
