Habu, the Global Innovator in Data Clean Room Software, today announced their integration with Google Display & Video 360’s PAIR, which supports ad planning, activation, and measurement in a privacy-safe way. The new solution enables advertisers and publishers to securely leverage and reconcile their first-party data to improve media performance in Google Display & Video 360 (DV360) and accelerate business growth.
Habu’s data clean room technology makes collaboration across decentralized data safe, simple, scalable, and smart. Its software is designed to make data collaboration secure and easy enabling companies to increase the velocity and value of data-driven initiatives by empowering them to work within and across distributed data environments to glean insights and execute advanced data science use cases with minimal resources.
Display & Video 360’s PAIR (Publisher Advertiser Identity Reconciliation) is a privacy-safe way for advertisers to activate and measure their first-party (authenticated and consented) audiences on specific publishers via Display & Video 360. Brands/advertisers on the buy side and publishers on the sell side can bring their first-party data and reconcile it securely to facilitate more efficient, accurate, and effective media buying and measurement on a 1:1 basis.
Habu’s clean room software integrated with Display & Video 360’s PAIR facilitates commutative encryption methodology to provide maximum security for advertisers, publishers, and consumers with respect to their data by enabling reconciliation without ever decrypting the data.
As the only fully interoperable clean room solution, Habu enables advertisers and publishers to utilize the PAIR protocol, no matter what cloud, platform, or stack. Built for both data scientists and business users, Habu’s integration with PAIR facilitates the reconciliation of publisher and advertiser first-party data for marketing use cases.
Habu’s customers will now have the opportunity to leverage PAIR within Habu’s data clean room software to securely collaborate with key partners to deliver more meaningful ads and optimize and improve advertising performance in Display & Video 360. In addition, it provides protection of your customers’ and visitors’ privacy, as the publisher/advertiser first-party data reconciliation happens without any other party, including Google, ever having access or visibility into another party’s data.
The Habu + Display & Video 360 PAIR integration enables:
Closer connection with known audiences to drive better performance on a 1:1 basis
Increased data privacy and security for advertiser activation on publisher inventory
Deeper level of collaboration with top media partners across the entire campaign lifecycle from planning to activation to measurement
"We’re excited to be working with Google to provide our customers with innovative and future-proof ways to connect with their customers while respecting their privacy,” said Mike Moreau, Co-Founder and COO at Habu. “Our integration with Display & Video 360’s PAIR empowers advertisers and publishers to benefit from the secure reconciliation of their first-party datasets to drive better media performance and ROI.”
This partnership further expands the areas of integration between Habu with Google Ads and Google Cloud. Habu also integrates with Ads Data Hub’s API and recently announced a partnership with Google Cloud to democratize clean room access and scale data collaboration for companies.

Smartly.io | March 17, 2023
Smartly.io, one of the world’s largest SaaS digital advertising platforms, today announces significant company advancements, stemming from months of strategic moves—including two acquisitions, a new platform release and strategic hires to senior leadership—under the guidance and vision of industry veteran Laura Desmond. The company, which holds certified partnerships with media leaders Meta, TikTok and Google, among others, brings dynamic integrations to the digital and social space, successfully “redefining social and creativity,” according to Nikhil Lai, Senior Analyst at Forrester.
Desmond, the former Global CEO of Starcom Mediavest Group and senior executive of Publicis Groupe, has a seasoned track record for creating symbiotic relationships between advertising and technology—influencing opportunities that reshape entire industry categories. As was the case in 2021, where Desmond, a member of DoubleVerify’s Board of Directors and operating partner at Providence Equity, played an integral role in leading its IPO—one of the most successful in the media and technology sector that year.
“When Providence acquired Smartly in 2019 and I became Chair of The Board, the company’s potential was clear from the start. Smartly is uniquely solving real problems that brands and marketers need to have solved: agile creative and media management at the same time; rapid intelligence around performance—what's working and what's not; the ability to execute personalization at scale. The steady updates we’ve been making are unlocking a depth and breadth to the technology that’s affording brands the ability to move across channels as fluidly as the consumers they aim to engage do,” commented Desmond. “Coupled with the additions of Brett Wein as Chief Sales Officer, and Oli Marlow-Thomas as Chief Innovation Officer, I am confident that our vision for Smartly.io will effectively redefine the future of digital advertising for brands and marketers alike.”
Smartly.io’s continuous releases to Workspaces has created a unique full-funnel, multi-channel approach to social advertising, integrating creative, media buying and intelligence at scale, in one platform. Specifically, the company’s creative-focused adtech enables marketers to:
Reach Smartly: Automate campaign workflows across all major platforms, reaching audiences quickly, easily and cost effectively.
Engage Smartly: Create beautiful, cohesive, and effective creative across the funnel that drives action.
Learn Smartly: Extract consolidated actionable insights to respond to audience behaviors in real-time to maximize return on investment (ROI).
"The depth of knowledge [Smartly.io] brings across verticals is really impressive,” said Merry Morud, Lead, Global Creative Optimization for Consumer Products at Uber. “On top of that, they have a fantastic creative team, which is very mobile-first, which is what we, as digital marketers, in a mobile space and mobile-first world look for.” Uber, a longtime client of Smartly.io, has used the company’s platform to execute iterative creative approaches at scale as part of their global media buying practice.
Smartly.io, now managing upwards of $5B in media spend, is unlocking the ability for true multi-platform brand building that exceeds both customer expectations and drives engagement across platforms, at scale. As a result, platform partners like Meta have leveraged Smartly’s Advantage+ Shopping solution to deliver upwards of 150 creative variations across all creative placements, expanding consistent brand reach and personalization in a privacy-safe way.
“Reinvention tends not to come from large scale companies, so we are using our nimble size and strong influence to create real movement in the industry,” said Oli Marlow-Thomas, Chief Innovation Officer, Smartly.io.
ABOUT YOU, one of Europe’s fastest growing fashion platforms, leverages Smartly’s TikTok Shopping Ads across markets. Since implementation, it's seen a near 30% uplift in ROAS for catalog sales, compared to the business-as-usual catalog sales campaigns, and greater than 100% uplift for "add to cart” actions compared to TikTok’s data.
“The Smartly Digital Advertising Platform is the result of years of collaborations, acquisitions and continuous innovation that’s allowing us the ability to really push the limits of what’s been possible, up until now that is. We’re working on some exciting new builds with partners that will hit the market in the coming months, that will take dynamic creative and media optimization to new heights,” continued Marlow-Thomas.
