Meta Recreates Cannes in the Metaverse to Attract Advertisers

Meta | June 22, 2022

Meta
Nicola Mendelsohn of Meta is on Cloud Island in Cannes. Cloud Island is the name given to Meta's virtual Cannes, which was created as its major Metaverse marketing showcase at the ad festival, and where avatars can play volleyball or otherwise enjoy a digital version of the French Riviera.

Mendelsohn, the company's global head of business solutions, has been showcasing Meta's foray into the metaverse for the past two years while leading the company's presence at Cannes. Because the festival was entirely virtual last year, Meta had to meet with brands in Horizon Worlds, the VR gaming app that is accessible through Meta Quest goggles and will soon be available on more platforms.

“We’re building some different areas for people to be able to have an immersive experience on the Croisette,It’s really the place that people are coming together to push the boundaries on creativity,” 

Mendelsohn about Meta’s Cloud Island

At Cannes, Meta is also talking about augmented reality, a more subtle digital layer that people could access via phone cameras and new computing glasses like the ones Meta designed with Ray-Ban and unveiled last year. AR is not only "doing a great job from a brand standpoint," according to Mendelsohn, but it's also pushing lower-funnel goals, such as bottom-line sales and other results brands need to show their marketing is moving the needle. Snap arrived in Cannes as an AR pioneer, demonstrating how the artistic side of augmented reality integrates with commerce. On Tuesday, Meta announced new partnerships with major brands, including guitar-maker Fender and Mini, the car company.

Perion Network | April 04, 2023

Perion Network Ltd. (Nasdaq & TASE: PERI), a global advertising technology company whose synergistic solutions are delivered across the three primary channels of digital advertising – search, social media and display / video / CTV advertising, today announced that it has seen growing adoption of SORT®, the company’s anonymous, privacy-driven breakthrough solution. The scope of ESG initiatives is widening to include privacy, as consumers grow even more deeply concerned about how their personal data is collected, stored, and utilized. Perion’s latest survey of current SORT® users found that 67% of customers who responded think that privacy-safe solutions are very important to their brand image. Having run on over 800 campaigns across all verticals and proving performance two times higher than traditional third-party tactics and three times the Google benchmark, SORT® is well positioned to play a vital role in the privacy ecosystem of the future, along with identity-based and contextual-based solutions. More than 300 companies have leveraged SORT® since its launch, with momentum building, and recent clients include leading brands and NGOs such as Stop & Shop, Mercedes-Benz USA and UNICEF USA. Given that the “right to privacy” is the UN’s Declaration of Individual Human Rights, Perion was honored to have them adopt SORT®. "There are a lot of claims about the effectiveness of privacy solutions, but the data to back that up is lacking. We conducted our survey to provide a fact-based analysis of our SORT® platform, and we are gratified that it confirmed our ability to deliver outstanding performance – most often better than cookies – without compromising users’ privacy. There is no doubt that the market for cutting-edge, scalable solutions for protecting consumer privacy will trend throughout and beyond 2023,” said Doron Gerstel, CEO of Perion. “As brands invest greater dollars in privacy-respectful solutions, we are confident SORT® will continue to attract new customers and outperform other solutions.” “Stop & Shop is always working to ensure that we are ready for the cookieless future and that we were working with partners that were putting both privacy and innovation first,” said Shoshana Przybylinkski, Media Director, AMP Agency, the agency for Stop & Shop. “SORT®, Perion’s cookieless solution, continues to check all the boxes when it comes to easy activation and outperforming third party cookie tactics.” SORT® enables advertisers to reach their audience at the exact moment they are most receptive to seeing an ad and can be applied on any impression or site with any format. Further, SORT® does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) and rather utilizes cookieless data points to inform decisions.
