Versium | October 19, 2022
Versium, a leading data technology company, today announced it has achieved record subscription revenue growth for its suite of marketing solutions built on its best-in-class identity resolution and insights engine. As marketers and advertisers rush to find cookieless solutions to reach their target audiences, Versium is uniquely positioned to accelerate growth across B2C and B2B marketing teams alike who are emphasizing first-party data. In Q3 2022, Versium achieved record total subscription revenue and a 40% YoY increase in its subscription customer base.
“As Google, Facebook and other tech companies are creating walled gardens for their data, marketers are having to decide between a higher advertising cost or centralizing and strengthening their own first-party data,” said Chris Matty, co-founder and chief revenue officer, Versium. “We have found most marketers are choosing to clean up their own data and enrich it so they aren’t dependent upon the Googles of the world to own their relationships with their customers. Hundreds of B2C and B2B brands are now using Versium to maximize their own data, so they can reach their customers anytime, anywhere.”
Channel has become a particular source of new relationships in 2022. Versium signed six new channel partner deals, including Datarade, Introhive and Convertiv, and completed integrations with TreasureData and Zapier, to drive new relationships and make its platform more accessible and convenient for its customers. So far this year, Versium has expanded its API capabilities and launched new open source modeling tools. In the months ahead, Versium will complement its B2B audience tools with B2B contact data and launch a new no-code toolset for analysts to manage common first-party data wrangling and enrichment tasks. All Versium tools are now available through a single subscription model, simplifying the sign-up process for new users and creating more value for current customers.
As a result of these product and business milestones, Versium has also been recognized by numerous industry organizations for its innovations in technology and insights. Versium was named a winner in the 2022 Sales and Marketing Technology Awards in the Insights and Analytics category, was named the Best Account Based Marketing Company in the 2022 Martech Breakthrough Awards and has been featured as a thought leader in Computerworld, Forbes and more.

AD TECH AND MARTECH
MonetizeMore | November 14, 2022
Google has just announced the winner of its 2022 Innovation Awards in the Google Certified Publisher Partner Summit.
MonetizeMore has done it again by hitting another significant milestone in ad tech innovation by winning the 2022 Google Innovation Award for Ad Setup Policy Violations. This prestigious award is given to ad tech companies with the most innovative solutions for publishers, and we’re happy to be recognized alongside other top companies in the field.
We are thrilled to announce that MonetizeMore was chosen from multiple ad tech companies for Traffic Cop, our industry-standard IVT detection and blocking solution that helps publishers prevent and fix ad setup policy violations (ASPV). ASPV is the total number of policy violations found on your website.
This is not an easy market to break into, but with our vision of the future of the adtech industry and our dedication to providing real solutions that are easy to implement and deliver promised results, we made it happen.
We are proud to be the first adtech company to win the Google Innovation award not once but twice, a very impressive feat in such a competitive year. MonetizeMore initially won Google’s Most Innovative Technology Award back in 2020 for the #1 ad fraud solution.
Traffic Cop is the industry’s leading Invalid Traffic Detection & Blocking solution that leverages advanced AI with fingerprinting algorithms to identify and block invalid traffic, preventing both your site’s revenue loss and your users’ frustration with slow load times and frequent ad interruptions. Traffic Cop also provides granular insights to help publishers fix their ad setup policy violations, dig deeper into their site’s incoming traffic, detect IVT by device, UTM source, sessions, and much more. Our reports have helped hundreds of publishers fix and block invalid traffic on their ad inventory keeping them safe from getting blacklisted by advertisers.
As a result, your ad inventory steers clear from revenue clawbacks, policy violations, and potential AdSense bans.
Thanks to Google for really showing how important it is to keep on track for policy violations. This is specifically under the realm of invalid traffic. What a lot of publishers and Google Certified Publisher Partners don’t understand is that invalid traffic isn’t just traffic quality, it’s an ad setup policy violation.
This comes under ad stacking, hidden ad units, aggressive refreshes, and click spam. These come all under the portion of invalid traffic and we have created tools under Traffic Cop that creates notifications and provides granular reports so that publishers can actually detect these ad setup policy violations and go through them step by step to fix them so that their policy violations can be prevented, fixed and ultimately their businesses are safer from revenue clawbacks.
We’ve been able to decrease publishers’ revenue clawbacks by over 10X. We’re now able to offer Traffic Cop not only to publishers but also GCPPs via API and our reporting setup. To ultimately help the ecosystem and get rid of invalid traffic and ad setup policy violations!- Kean Graham, CEO of MonetizeMore.
It is crucial to us since Google is such an influential player in the adtech industry, which makes them a good litmus test for how we’re doing overall. It’s gratifying to know that our hard work is being recognized and we hope it will continue in the years to come.
This year, we have helped over 373 publishers with their ad setup policy violations and saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue clawbacks through Traffic Cop to optimize their overall ad setup and eliminate IVT.
We are honored to use this annual award to motivate us to continue providing cutting-edge technology solutions that help publishers save time and money.
