2019 IN REVIEW.

In FY19, the Company focused on three key strategic priorities:

  • Return Symphony business to growth via regular market deployments (grow Licence Fees);

  • Return Adslot Media business to growth by focussing on the US market (grow Trading Fees); and,

  • Reduce operating costs.

During the year we delivered on these objectives:

  • 5 new Symphony markets deployed during the year with a corresponding growth in license fees;

  • Trading activity secured from large US advertisers including AT&T and General Motors;

  • Additional tier 1 publishers added to the market in the US and UK;

  • 10% reduction in operating costs without impact on clients or core product development.

“[working with Adslot] has been going really well, not just with the additional revenue but it’s the first project I’ve worked on in 10 years of AdOps where everyone is happy.”

Jessica Barrett Global Head of Programmatic

==> picture [77 x 78] intentionally omitted <==

“Adslot is an important partner for Thomson Reuters, helping us facilitate the booking process with many clients with independent and major agencies. An ergonomic platform and great customer support have been key to making our relationship successful.”

==> picture [118 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

“In the course of rolling out our AG offer to publishers Adslot has proven a reliable and flexible partner that shares a long-term approach similar to ours of establishing a market offer beneficial to clients, publishers and agency.”

Georg Gartlgruber Head of Trading, Austria

Guillaume Pérlé Head of Programmatic EMEA

3. OUR CHALLENGE IS TO 3. OUR CHALLENGE IS TO BRING BUYERS TO THE MARKETPLACE AT SCALE. BRING BUYERS TO THE MARKETPLACE AT SCALE.

  • To bring scale to the Adslot Media marketplace the company is pursuing a “top down” sales strategy.

  • For the post 6 months our focus has been on pursuing the 6 largest global agency holding companies – WPP, The Interpublic Group, Omnicom, Dentsu, Havas, Publicis.

  • These agency holding companies:

  • Control approximately 60% of global media spending;

  • Are well positioned to adopt technology at an enterprise level;

  • Are looking for ways to maintain direct relationships with publishers;

  • Have data assets that cannot currently be activated in a forward guaranteed environment.

  • Executing Master Service Agreements (MSAs) with the holding companies enables us to provide access to our platform to all users across their media and trading divisions.

Following release of Adslot’s Audience First capability, the ability to integrate advertiser’s proprietary customer data for targeting has become a key driver of platform adoption.

  • Current partnership with Lotame enables most advertiser audiences to be integrated for campaign targeting and forecasting.

  • Partnerships and integrations with other prominent Data Management Platforms (DMPs) will improve the speed of onboarding advertiser data and provide additional channels for securing advertiser budgets.
