Infomo-TorcAI partnership to provide advertisers massive audiences
Singapore-based Infomo Global Ltd has announced a strategic merger with Mumbai-headquartered ad-tech platform, TorcAI, to enable its alliance partners to offer an integrated ecosystem that addresses the emerging needs of large publishers, publisher consortiums, telecom carriers, agencies and brands across the vast global marketplace.
“This is a very exciting and important opportunity for Infomo and for the global digital and advertising marketplace. Publishers and Advertisers in today’s world require self-serve automated solutions to buy and sell media, Infomo’s MD and Group CEO Ananda Rao said in a release on 24 Nov 2021.
“Advertisers need extensive audience reach, known audience targeting, and measurable audience engagement. Publishers need to understand their audience and have control over their monetization potential without being completely dependent on technical intermediaries in the process.
“Our partnership with telecom carriers and leading publishers around the world provide advertisers access to massive known audiences and we are focused on enabling performance marketing. With the proposed merger, we will be able to globally offer platforms that deliver optimized programmatic display advertising and performance marketing and drive improved monetisation,” said Rao in welcoming the merger.
TorcAI Co-Founder & CEO Rohit Verma commented on the strategic possibilities for the merger. “TorcAI was founded to design and deliver AI/ML driven platforms to sell and buy all types of digital media through optimized programmatic processes.
“Our platforms and solutions are scale and market tested and have delivered proven results to our clients. Together with Infomo, we can now deliver one fully integrated media management platform that makes it extremely easy for publishers and advertisers to work collaboratively to design and run customized multi-channel campaigns. This exciting and transformational merger will create ecosystem platforms to immediately address a global market”.
Most governments have introduced new laws to safeguard consumer privacy, and this will impact behavioural targeting that underpins digital marketing across the globe. Digital marketing (currently dominated by the GDM (Google) / Programmatic duopoly and 3rd party cookie deprecation) is witnessing the emergence of advanced private exchanges and walled gardens which will disrupt the current practices across both digital display advertising and performance marketing, said the release from Infomo.
Innovative and integrated platforms driven by deep tech – AI (Artificial Intelligence) and ML (Machine Learning) algorithms – will provide media buyers and sellers with multiple options to leverage different opportunities exposed by the current disruptive transformation. TorcAI, with its highly sophisticated, unique and advanced AI and ML technologies, is considered to be a perfect fit with Infomo’s global strategy of providing the world with private media exchanges and walled garden solutions to reduce the global dependence on the GDN/Programmatic duopoly, said the release.
According to research authority, Magna, the global ad spends in 2020 was US$569 billion, of which traditional media was estimated to be US$233 billion. Unlike the USA, Australia, and a number of European countries, ad spend with traditional media still outweighs digital ad spend. In India, digital advertising is still in its infancy with 2020 data revealing that digital advertising accounted for only 11% of the US$12.2 billion yearly ad spend.
Infomo is the first company in the world to design and deploy plug and play publisher-centric platforms that enable publishers to leverage performance marketing. Infomo provides an innovative web and app advertising ecosystem that harnesses the unique power and reach of telecom operators and large publishers and their significant subscriber communities to deliver engaging, media-rich, and highly targeted premium advertising and promotional content to subscribers during their everyday online activities.
