eXelate Launches Premier Media Partnership

NEW YORK, Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- eXelate, the data engine powering privacy-safe audience access within the digital advertising ecosystem, today announced the launch of their Premier Media Partnership (PMP) to streamline the accessibility of audience data and certify the quality and privacy compliance of data and media packages.  

Without vetted, integrated partnerships in place, the marriage of media and data assets at scale can pose challenges for media planners.  eXelate's Premier Media Partnership ensures that advertisers and agencies can access eXelate and third-party branded data in conjunction with a high quality media package, while providing transparency on reach, performance and privacy certification.  

eXelate has formed integration alliances with media sellers across multiple channels, including ad exchanges, ad networks and video ad networks, as well as demand-side platforms (DSPs).  Premier Media Partners were selected as a result of their distinguished leadership, consumer privacy compliance as evidenced by their IAB/NAI memberships, and overall dedication to providing scalable technology solutions across the digital ecosystem.  Participants include adBrite, Accordant Media, Adap.TV, Collective Media, interclick, Invite Media, LucidMedia, and Media Math.  

"Collective provides brand-safe, quality inventory and privacy-compliant data," said Justin Evans, SVP, Audience Insights, Collective. "By joining eXelate's PMP program, we can offer clients an additional, straightforward proposition: 'access transparent data relevant to your ad campaigns, then rely on us for the insights to keep making that data work harder over time.'"

"To effectively deliver relevant advertising and reach across a specified audience, advertisers need an easy to use, scalable tool that provides access to both media and data," said Marta Martinez, CMO of MediaMath. "Being part of eXelate's PMP guarantees advertisers a robust platform, TerminalOne, that seamlessly and easily lets them select, optimize and report how eXelate data is used all in one turnkey solution."

The Premier Media Partnership program helps agencies achieve transparency across campaign reach, eliminate time spent on technical integrations, and close deals faster with access to an all-in-one solution.

"We have assembled some of the best media brands in the online space to help us make it simpler to leverage eXelate data. Not only will media buyers' lives be made easier, they will have a clearer path toward performance attribution as well as be assured that the data and media package they are buying meets the highest privacy standards," stated eXelate Chief Executive Officer Mark Zagorski.
