Digital Element Enhances IP Geolocation with Advanced French Regional Data

Seeding Alliance sees significant boost in engagement following partnership with Digital Element

Industry-leading IP geolocation technology chosen to enhance native content delivery, providing geo-based ad serving and fraud prevention

London, UK – 30 June 2020 – Seeding Alliance, a leading specialist in native advertising, has seen significantly improved performance following its partnership with Digital Element, the global geolocation and audience insights provider, with click through rates boosted by as much as 20%. Having chosen Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse™ technology, the Cologne-based native advertising experts now offer enhanced geo-based ad serving for their clients as well as in-depth traffic analysis for fraud identification.

Based in Germany, Seeding Alliance is one of the leaders in native advertising – a core tactic to engage consumers. By placing ads that authentically match the feel and function of the media in which they reside, Seeding Alliance allows the publishing of content that effectively targets relevant audiences without disrupting the natural editorial format of the publication.

Seeding Alliance selected Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse IP intelligence solution in May 2019 to improve their geolocation services and gain access to global IP datasets, enabling segmentation of relevant audiences based on various information layers – such as connection type, mobile carrier and internet service provider – without the user becoming personally identifiable. This has clearly helped to ensure the success of Seeding Alliance’s clients’ advertising campaigns, as consumers can be targeted with appropriate and relevant geo-location based ads to efficiently utilise advertising budgets and minimise fraud.

“Our previous solution choices were simply too inaccurate and incomplete, which led us to the decision to move data providers and choose the market leader, Digital Element, to achieve the best possible results for our clients,” commented Adrian Meyer, VP Technology at Seeding Alliance. “Shortly after the integration of the Digital Element data we realised that we were successfully blocking more fraud attempts and that the advertising campaigns were performing better. We have always been keen to provide sustainable increase in brand awareness, across extensive formats, without compromising consumer convenience and this partnership with Digital Element means we can now effectively target more tightly defined audiences, through the use of location specific content and IP intelligence.”

Digital Element’s NetAcuity Pulse™ uses a network of IP location information derived from mobile devices, billions of on-device location transactions, and internet routing infrastructure. This very precise – yet privacy-sensitive – global online targeting method is based on where a user is located and connected at a specific point in time, regardless of device. Information can include whether or not the connection is being made through a wifi network, the user’s point-in-time geographic location, and whether a home or business hotspot is in use. The benefits of using intelligent and precise targeting at scale include increased revenues, better return on investment, stronger brand loyalty, and improved consumer engagement.

“Seeding Alliance required a high level of accurate and intelligent support and we are delighted they chose our NetAcuity Pulse technology to assist them in tailoring their native advertising campaigns to target more specific audiences, and add to their armory for fighting ad fraud,” said Kate Owen, Digital Element’s Vice-President, Northern Europe. “We are proud of the accuracy of our data and one year on, it’s clear we have provided Seeding Alliance with valuable insights for them to continue to build on their success in this competitive advertising world.”

Seeding Alliance joins Digital Element’s portfolio of high-profile clients, which includes: Adobe, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Taboola, Codewise, Amobee, Twitter, MediaMath, Adform, BBC, Discovery Networks, Hubspot, Vibrant Media, Webtrends, Crimtan, Weborama, Ogilvy and many others.

Digital Element and BuyDRM Form Data Security Partnership

Leading Multi-DRM and Content Security Provider to Integrate VPN and Proxy Data Into KeyOS Solution

Atlanta, GA – 11 June 2020 – Digital Element, the global geolocation and audience insights provider, and BuyDRMTM today announced a strategic data partnership which will allow the leading global provider of multi-DRM and content security services to offer VPN and proxy data to enhance the geofencing capabilities provided through its KeyOSTM platform.

KeyOS is an award-winning, studio-approved multi-DRM platform for premium content distribution. Digital Element’s VPN and Proxy identification data will now be available through both the KeyOS MultiKey service and the KeyOS MultiKey Server solution as part of the new Geofence Plus upgrade.

BuyDRM’s solutions are used across the entertainment, enterprise and hospitality industries with customers that include some of the most recognized media brands, such as Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), The Academy of Motion Picture Sciences and Arts (AMPAS), BBC iPlayer, BBC Studios, BBC Sounds, Blizzard, EPIX, FuboTV, Sony Crackle, TubiTV, Showtime and Zee5.

“How consumers access and engage with digital media is constantly changing and, at BuyDRM, we are constantly looking for ways to improve content delivery and security services for our clients,” said Christopher Levy, founder and CEO at BuyDRM. “We welcomed the opportunity to partner with Digital Element to integrate its industry-leading VPN and proxy data into existing KeyOS solutions to help clients address the problem of malicious IP masking by inserting yet another level of security that ensures that the proper delivery of digital media is taking place.”

According to the Global Web Index, on average 25 percent of internet users employ a VPN/proxy on a monthly basis. Reasons for online users hiding behind proxies vary. Some seek anonymity, but 50 percent are using proxies to access restricted entertainment content.

“The interest in consumer-oriented VPNs has been trending upward for quite some time, and we’ve seen a significant jump in the use of VPN apps to bypass geo-restricted content,” said Rob Friedman, executive vice president, Digital Element. “Our partnership with BuyDRM couldn’t have come at a more opportune time. The need to strengthen digital rights management is now more important than ever, and we look forward to playing an essential role in helping BuyDRM’s clients secure and control the delivery of their digital media assets.”

Digital Element is an official BuyDRM KeyOS ESP partner.

Dwise Improves Geotargeting with Digital Element’s Location-Based Technology

Specialist media agency selects industry-leading IP geolocation technology to increase accuracy of ad targeting

London, UK – 18 February 2020 – Digital Element, the global IP geolocation data and services provider, today announced that Stockholm-based digital advertising specialist, Dwise, has chosen its NetAcuity technology to improve ad targeting for its clients.

Dwise focuses primarily on programmatic media to help brands engage with their target audiences. By incorporating Digital Element’s technology, the company is able to accurately pinpoint potential customers for its clients – leading to greater campaign success and boosted return on investment. The technology works by tracking key identifiers when a website is visited. It is able to identify the visitor’s country, connection type (wired or mobile), and the internet service provider (ISP) used – all while protecting the user’s anonymity. It can be used to facilitate standalone geotargeting and, by combining this information with other data – such as age, gender and purchase history – audience profiles can be defined with precision according to client need.

“We want to be able to offer our clients improved ad targeting capabilities, and Digital Element’s technology stands out due to its industry reputation for accuracy and its ability to combat click fraud using proxy data,” commented Niklas Johansson, Partner at Dwise. “Our clients can now serve the most contextually relevant advertising to tightly targeted audiences while being confident they’ll achieve the reach they need. We were recommended Digital Element’s technology, and we would pass on this recommendation to anyone who wants to stay ahead of the competition.”

Digital Element is the global leader and industry pioneer in IP geolocation technology. Its intelligence solution NetAcuity provides the most detailed, hyperlocal dataset available worldwide today that complies with the highest standards of end-user privacy.

“Dwise is a fast-expanding company, in a highly competitive sector. We are delighted it has chosen to use our NetAcuity technology to make it stand out as a leader in the field, and we are confident its clients will reap the benefits of improved campaign success as a result,” said Kate Owen, Digital Element’s Vice President, Northern Europe. “We are proud our data is renowned for being the most accurate available, and attracts recommendations from within the industry.”

Dwise joins Digital Element’s portfolio of high-profile clients, which includes: Adobe, Facebook, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Codewise, Videology, Invidi/Ooyala, MediaMath, Adform, BBC, Discovery Networks, Hubspot, Vibrant Media, Webtrends, Crimtan, Weborama, Ogilvy and many others.
