DynAdmic to operate in Latin America

Regional operations target at potential digital business growth markets, such as Mexico and Colombia

DynAdmic, a French company specializing in programmatic media for online videos, will start direct operations in Latin America this month. This move aims at strengthening the Company’s presence in key markets such as Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru, and at expanding its share into new markets. After consolidating operations in Brazil in 2014, Valérie Behr was retained as Sales Manager to lead activities in Latin America. She will report to Lara Krumholz, General Officer for the region. Traffic operations continue to be coordinated from the branch office in São Paulo, Brazil.

With a positive uptrend of advertising investments in 2015, which are expected to increase by 12%, Latin America is today the region with the highest nominal growth in advertising spending worldwide, according to Magna Global, a Global IPG Mediabrands Media Strategy Unit. A total of US$ 836 million in programmatic media was invested in the region in 2014.

Besides increasing its share in those countries that already use the DynAdmic Programmatic Technology, including Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Peru, the company is now expanding direct customer service into other important markets in the region.

"After having structured DynAdmic’s operations in Brazil, this year, we are now putting efforts to enter other important potential markets in Latin America, both in terms of advertising investments and consumption of online videos, and we are taking initiatives to consolidate our presence throughout the region," highlights Lara.

With such expected expansion, DynAdmic estimates to grow 65% by the end of 2015 and to increase its headcount in Latin America. "One of our main strategies should be to advertise the benefits of programmatic media and how it can be successful in online video campaigns," stated the General Officer. This structuring effort, which is part of the company`s Expansion Project, was made possible after DynAdmic received US$ 3 million investments to boost its performance across key marketplaces, with focus on Latin America markets. The financial support for such initiative was provided by the XAnge Private Equity Fund.

DynAdmic has worked with large companies in Latin America, such as Coca-Cola, Universal Channel, Columbia Films, Fox, Natura, L’Oreal, Microsoft, among others.

About DynAdmic: Founded in 2012, DynAdmic is a French private marketplace company specialized in online video and programmatic media doing businesses in Europe, Latin America, and North America. Acclaimed worldwide for its unique context targeting solution, the company has set a technology innovation standard for advertising online videos traded through Real-Time Bidding (RTB).

Love is in the air

We won't say that we are good at playing matchmakers but we must admit that it's our core business.

Making sure that you meet the right audience is our top priority.

AT&T campaign by DynAdmic, USA, January 2015

He says he heard you the first time, but did he really listen? Well, we do Darling 

One in Five U.S residents speaks a foreign language at home. AT&T, the US second-largest wireless operator and second-largest advertiser, understood its audience and decided to inject Spanglish slang to its campaign for theirmillennial viewers.

Making sure that AT&T, and our other clients, reach their right audience is our mission.

And adding new languages to our software is always a new challenge that we love to take up. Let us give you an overview of how we drive our translators crazy.

Every time a new language is added to our database or to our software, we create an “integration process of new language”. By that, we mean that we feed a wordbook full of sensitive words, idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms that we don’t want to see or hear. We also keep track on the current news and we add contents which are not insults but which are giving a negative impact on the viewer’s perception. Let’s say you are a cosmetic brand, you don’t want your ad to appear on contents linked to terrorism, protest or riot for example. These words are no insults but they have a bad influence on your message.

However, we all know that a language is more complex than that. So, in order to get all the other cultural expressions, which we don’t learn in our schoolbooks, we need to work in collaboration with actual certified translators. We send them a list of bad words in English and they need to translate it.

A really difficult exercise for those human beings.

Spending the day reading and writing insults, bad words and obscenities made some of our collaborators quit.

So you thought you had the worst job ever? You were wrong !

 We make the brand safety our priority, regardless the difficulty of the exercise, just to be sure that your message is being pushed on the right contents.

You’re welcome.

Happy New Year 2015 !

DynAdmic's Team wishes you all the best and as much impressions as you need !

We are proud to (soon?) be a part of your campaign success

Brooklyn Nets campaign by DynAdmic, USA, December 2014

DynAdmic’s 2015 resolution: Doing more sport !

They are fresh, motivated, number two of the NBA East Conference and they used our expertise to handle their campaign. We’ve already been working with prestigious sport brands like Adidas, Puma, Reebok etc. but a sport team like the Brooklyn Nets was a new challenge that we loved to take up.  So, for their first game of the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Brooklyn Nets provided us with this 30 seconds pre-roll showing the authenticity of Brooklyn, its lifestyle, its culture and its music. Near the end, viewers are informed on how to attend the game and where to buy their seats, therefore completing the experience.  The choices of the Brooklyn Nets marketing department were simple and relevant. Thanks to our unique technology, they could target people interested in basketball, in famous players or in celebrities that often go to the stadium. They finally restricted this contextual targeting to the 5 boroughs of New York (Manhattan, Staten Island, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens) with a higher probability of watching the game live.  A precise strategy that allowed the Brooklyn Nets to perfectly reach the right audience.  The Brooklyn Nets put their trust in our expert hands and we proved them right. We wish you a happy sporty new year!

Target Celebrities

When we hear the name of George Clooney, we just think of Nespresso. The same happens with Michael Jordan and his legendary Nike shoes. Brands have always relied on celebrities to promote their products, gain status or acquire credibility in new fields. When Nike wanted to enter the golf industry, they looked for the main reference in this sport and hired ​Tiger Woods as their spokesman. Celebrity partnerships are usually very expensive so the brand has to know how to benefit from it the most and in all given channels, specifically the internet. Music alone stand for about 25% of online video content and if you count all sorts of entertainment, they represent more than 60% of the content. Given that this type of content is usually (if not always) linked to one or more celebrities, you can sense the importance of celebrities' web exposure and the urge to profit from it.  With that in mind, DynAdmic has created a new targeting that allows advertisers to expand their celebrity branding to the web. We can identify videos talking about your celebrity or a specific event, and place your pre-roll ad right next to it. Imagine being able to advertise in replays of the Superbowl, FIFA World Cup or in videos talking about Tony Hawk or Santa Claus! Check the infographic below for more details or contact us and we will gladly explain how it work and how it can apply to your brand.

Target the Weather

DynAdmic has recently launched a new targeting option: by Weather. Brands can now choose their audience according to the weather around them. You can choose to place or not your ads depending on the temperature or sky conditions around the viewer. How does it work?

We integrated climatic data into our machines that allows us to access in real-time how is the weather where the pre-roll is being shown. We can then place or not your ad depending on your targeting choices. With this new targeting, brands can associated their image or adapt their message to the weather and create campaigns even more tailored and relevant to their customers. Wouldn’t it be good if we could place a pre-roll for Pay-per-view movies when it’s raining, suggest a trip to Hawaii when it’s raining or just propose a cold cola to help you on hot days? Come rain or shine, you will always have the right message to your client.
