The December quarter was a highly productive period for OpenDNA, with the Company successfully completing its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and subsequent Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) listing on 16 November. Since listing, the Company has focused on streamlining its product development processes, solidifying its customer acquisition pipeline and leveraging key existing partnerships.

OpenDNA’s technology has the capacity to revolutionise the way in which brands and organisations interact with targeted individuals on a global scale. Data analytics and consumer profiling technology has driven the categorization of end-users to date, however OpenDNA drives much deeper as it enables the real-time tracking of individual end-users to gauge their interests, opinions and propensity to engage.

Strengthening of International Sales Personnel

During quarter, OpenDNA strengthened its international sales team, with Mr Michael Sher appointed as Vice President of Sales, Asia-Pacific. Mr Sher brings to the Company a wealth of technology sales experience and will play a key role in rapidly expanding the Company’s customer base throughout key markets in the Asia-Pacific.

Mr Sher has worked with a number of companies ranging from start-ups to multinationals, having most recently held the position of Vice President of Advance Applications at analytics company NICE.

Mr Sher adds further depth to a business development and sales team focused on growth in the North American, UK and Australasian markets. The OpenDNA sales team includes highly-respected industry veterans Messrs Robert Crozier and Samuel (Jock) Spivy, each of whom have deep and extensive backgrounds in the media and publishing industry.

MOU Signed with US-based MediaFuse

In December, OpenDNA entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with USbased advertising technology company MediaFuse.

Importantly, the MediaFuse partnership represents a key step towards the monetisation of OpenDNA’s digital platforms, with the ability to generate advertising revenue a significant near-term catalyst for the business.

Under the agreement, MediaFuse will provide OpenDNA with the ability to generate advertising revenue across all of their digital platforms. MediaFuse will also work with OpenDNA to launch a personalised ad management system to better target and engage end-users, in turn driving increased revenue for publishers.

The agreement targets key growth drivers for content publishers globally including user acquisition, page view volumes and page view session times. Through the integration of OpenDNA’s personalisation technology, publishers will now be able to better understand their users interests and provide a more targeted and relevant end-user experience. This in turn leads to increased page views and user retention rates – enabling publishers to increase their advertising revenue.

Agreement with Family Traveller

Post period end, OpenDNA entered into an agreement with leading UK travel brand, Family Traveller, to power its digital platforms with OpenDNA’s artificial intelligence technology.

Under the agreement, OpenDNA will enable the real-time psychographic profiling of Family Traveller’s 250k+ consumers. Based on this data, OpenDNA will also integrate an advertising system which will further allow Family Traveller to target individual customers with specific advertisements.

OpenDNA will charge Family Traveller an upfront sign-on fee, followed by a monthly fee to power the website and apps respectively. The Company will also generate revenue through increased customer subscriptions and user traffic across Family Traveller’s platforms.

OpenDNA’s Chief Executive Officer, Jay Shah, commented:

“The December quarter was a milestone period for the Company, with a number of key corporate and operational objectives achieved, following our successful IPO and subsequent ASX listing.

Our partnership with MediaFuse is a critical step towards the full monetisation of OpenDNA’s digital platforms, as it will allow the Company build its advertising revenue streams in the near-term.

The Company’s focus remains on continuing to scale-up our global customer base through the penetration of new market segments, as evidenced by our recent signing of leading travel brand Family Traveller.

We look forward to providing our shareholders with further updates on additional operational and corporate updates in the coming months, as we embark on this exciting period in OpenDNA’s growth.”
