QUEENSLAND, Australia, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Insticator Australia, leader in managed-service solutions for media agencies in the CTV landscape and known for their next-level measurement attribution and dashboard capabilities, is thrilled to announce that they have rebranded as “COOL Media,” a move that marks a significant step forward for the cutting-edge company. This comprehensive revamp sets the stage for the rebranded company to forge ahead into American markets in the near future.
“We’ve always prided ourselves on being a ‘cool’ company,” joked Managing Director Deryck Wills, “but now we’ve made it official. With this rebrand, we’re embracing that identity even more. Our new name not only resonates with our uniqueness in the market, standing out among our peers but propelling us as the ‘popular’ choice. It’s memorable and perfectly captures the innovative spirit of our services. We’re excited to continue providing unforgettable experiences under a name that’s as awesome as the work we do.”
Acquired in 2023 by Insticator — who has gained renown and recognition as a premier SSP — COOL Media has achieved consistent recognition for their Attribution Dashboard, which provides an unusual degree of accuracy and clarity in the sometimes-confusing world of CTV advertising. Additionally, they provide in-depth analysis of campaign performance, revealing to advertisers what’s working and what’s not. Alongside Insticator’s engagement products, we’re able to collectively offer a full-360 suite of solutions for the brands and agencies we partner with.
“We specialise in running brand activity for our agency partners, providing detailed, customized, and cookie-less measurement studies that help identify a brand’s strengths and weaknesses,” Wills said. “These measurements extend far outside the basic reach/frequency/VCR metrics that have become standard in other brand campaigns.”
One of the biggest barriers to success in adtech can be the opacity of the numbers, and the difficulty of drawing a straight line between campaign decisions and the resulting performance. These rebranding efforts at COOL Media help showcase the way COOL’s products and solutions eliminate the mystery, so that clients “never wonder what works.”
This rebrand helps showcase COOL’s standout CTV offerings to an ever-expanding pool of customers. Our new website and other materials will help us communicate the advantages of working with COOL Media without unnecessary jargon, showcase our solutions in an exciting new way, and make landfall in the U.S. market with a full slate of competitive services.
“When we acquired Insticator Australia, we knew we wouldn’t keep their services contained to Australia forever,” said Zack Dugow, Founder and CEO of Insticator. “CTV advertising is a huge growth sector, but parsing the wealth of data produced in the course of a campaign is often a point of pain. COOL Media’s attribution dashboard and measurement studies provide a real light in the darkness for agencies and brands.”
COOL Media forms a key part of the ecosystem formed by Insticator’s other recent acquisitions, where each entity augments – and is augmented by – the offerings of the other companies.
Through the acquisition of Balihoo, a leader in multi-location marketing services for franchise businesses, publishers utilizing COOL Media can be connected directly to franchise advertisers. OKO Digital, another wing of the Insticator family of companies, provides optimization and monetization services for publishers. And Insticator’s Supply-Side Platform gives publishers a thriving marketplace to sell their ad space.
“People often throw around the word ‘synergy,’ but COOL Media has really transformed the Insticator family into a fully-integrated operation,” Dugow said. “Each arm of our business reinforces the mission and offerings of the others. It’s a truly exciting time for us, that’s been “cool” to see. Look what I did there ;).”
