It’s beginning to look a lot like 2023!

 

As we count down the days until the new year, it’s the perfect time to look back…our 2022 year in review.

We saw changes in the global identity landscape. We saw changes in our business. 

Google pushed the third-party cookie deprecation plan out further into the future.

AWS recently announced AWS Clean Rooms, a new analytics service that helps companies across industries easily and securely analyze and collaborate on their combined datasets.

The US is bracing for additional consumer data privacy regulations becoming effective in early 2023. 

And Cannes Lions came back with a roar.

While timelines and technology may be tumultuous, the need to curate and expand addressable audiences in the programmatic space is timeless.

I’d like to highlight a few of our team’s achievements over the last year:

 

2

Finalist nominations in the AdExchanger Awards – Best Privacy and Best Identity Technology

3

New Roqad investors joined our series A raise: DNX, OCA and AperiamVentures 

20+

Identity solutions delivered to 20+ adtech, martech and brand clients including one of the world’s top three DSPs, a leading global analytics solution, a consumer household electronics brand & other valued clients.
