Building on Success of Its Business and Financial Networks, Dianomi Now Offers Lifestyle Brands a Distinct Premium Native-at-Scale Environment

Dianomi

Dianomi , the financial and business-focused native ad marketplace for premium brands and publishers, today announced it has begun testing a new, distinct lifestyle marketplace with select brands and publishers, including The Washington Post and Kiplinger. The industry-first offering offers lifestyle brands a premium, brand-suitable environment, providing important revenue streams for lifestyle publishers that goes beyond core programmatic display. As part of Dianomi’s mission of maintaining contextual relevance, the lifestyle marketplace is separate from its core financial and business network and will ensure audiences see brand content that is in context of the premium subject matter they’re engaged with. "Ad quality is what originally drew us to Dianomi years ago and it's still what sets them apart from the field," said Andy Price, Head of Revenue Operations, North America at Dennis. "When branching out to new verticals, it's important that we continue to provide a quality, meaningful experience for our readers. We're delighted to work with the premium lifestyle brands that Dianomi brings to our audience." As brands look to reallocate ad budgets from social platforms and third-party, data-targeted display to more brand-safe environments, Dianomi has established its lifestyle network to answer to advertiser demand for more premium, in-context and brand-safe solutions that operate at scale. Dianomi has proven its ability to bring premium brands and publishers in the professional services and financial industries together and is building upon that expertise for lifestyle brands and publishers, starting initially with automotive, fashion, travel and hospitality verticals. “Lifestyle brands and publishers we work with have been asking us for a brand-suitable, premium native content solution and we are answering their call. It’s early days but we are already seeing terrific results in helping brands reach new audiences and offering the world's leading publishers an important incremental revenue stream,” said Rupert Hodson, Co-Founder and CEO of Dianomi. “For marketers who create deep, professional brand assets – catalogs, look books, videos, thought pieces – that go beyond display, we offer them the magic of putting the right content in front of audiences at precisely the moment of interest. In addition, we know blue-chip publishers don’t want to see ‘belly fat’ ads at the bottom of their pages and are increasingly insisting on premium ad partners. Now that both publishers and brands are reevaluating advertising and monetization strategies, it was the perfect time to expand our solutions to new categories of brands and publishers.” Dianomi is a performance-driven ad platform, where advertisers only pay based on performance, cost per click (CPC) or cost per view on video. This ensures ad dollars are being spent on real results and not lost to low performing tactics. Dianomi’s publishing partners include The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, Fast Company, VOX Media, Bloomberg, Reuters, BBC , and Fortune and features brands such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Etrade, and Charles Schwab. Dianomi serves more than 8.5 billion ads on 220 premium publications, reaching more than 340 million readers per month across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC. About Dianomi Dianomi is the native ad platform for the financial services, technology, corporate, and lifestyle sectors, providing advertisers with access to a global audience of 340 million online consumers. Through our native display and video units, brands can target consumers contextually with content and product marketing messages on over 220 premium business and finance publishers. Advertisers and publishers trust Dianomi for our brand safety, transparent pricing and insights. Our emphasis on high-quality audiences combined with contextually relevant content helps partners achieve higher ROI than other native ad platforms.

MASSMEDIA MARKETING, ADVERTISING AND PR AGENCY OFFERS INSIGHT FOR BUSINESSES TO CAPITALIZE ON DIGITAL MEDIA TRENDS RESULTING FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

MassMedia Marketing, Advertising, PR

MassMedia Marketing, Advertising, PR is analyzing current digital media consumption trends and offering insight to businesses who are trying to maintain and even increase their brand awareness during this pandemic. Zak Krassin , digital marketing director at MassMedia, imparts the following insights into various digital strategies that businesses can be implementing now to help them thrive and possibly obtain market share during an economic downturn: Actively engage with your social media community, implement an employee advocacy program, or seek out potential collaboration opportunities with other thought leaders. Building a community around your business and having your employees engaged on social media as experts can help humanize your brand and extend the reach of your content – ultimately driving more traffic to your site. Brands on social media should strongly consider running paid social ads. Starting small and putting five to 10 dollars towards a Facebook post as a “boosted” effort can go a long way. Paid social ads offer robust targeting options to ensure the paid promotion hits your intended audience which will expand your reach beyond your current network as well as drive qualified traffic to your website. Brands should certainly be taking advantage of posting video content. Video has the ability to connect with customers on a level that static imagery simply cannot. Video can convey your brand message, product details, and thought leadership content in a more expressive way that really brings them to life.

Team Faruk Announces Partnership With Japanese Oil Giant ENEOS

Team Faruk

In a week that saw Faruk Kugay’s new 1997 Nissan S14’s first shakedowns on the dyno and track, Team Faruk is delighted to announce its partnership with ENEOS. From ENEOS: ENEOS is excited to announce the addition of Team Faruk to the ENEOS North American Motorsports family. For 2020, Team Faruk will be competing in the Formula DRIFT PRO Championship in the SGK Performance / Nuke Performance / ENEOS Oil Nissan S14. Additionally, he’ll be bringing regular content from his SGK Performance day job, providing insights into the advantages of ENEOS products in race and street applications at this specialty service and tuning shop. From Faruk: I’m super honored to be part of the ENEOS Motor Oil motorsports family alongside Valentino Rossi, Dai Yoshihara, Gracie Trotter, and others. In a year that no one will forget, it’s an incredible feeling to be part of such a historic brand. I think a lot of people don’t know about ENEOS, but I’ve used their oil in customers’ cars for years at the shop. With myself and SGK Performance, I’m looking forward to showing you guys some fun stuff about the oil. https://hubs.ly/H0src1z0 Team Faruk operates out of SGK Performance at Sonoma Raceway. In 2019 Faruk Kugay was featured in multiple episodes of Hyperdrive on Netflix. His competition car, a Nissan S14 known as Razetil , and his demonstration car, a BMW E92 chassis, are each paired with Toyota inline-6 2JZGTE engines. They have a signature sound that’s as thrilling to hear as his electrifying drifting style is to watch. Formula Drift includes events all around the United States and is broadcast and streamed worldwide. Faruk also manages Sonoma Drift , which brings together a local community of racing enthusiasts most weeks during the year.
