Tapad's Switchboard solution aims to make the growing multitude of cookieless identifiers interoperable with one another.
Tapad Launches An Identity Resolution Solution To Link All The New Cookieless IDs

Proprietary cookieless identifiers  – seems like everybody’s got one these days. “It’s obviously reactive to the impending demise of the cookie,” said Mark Connon, general manager of Experian-owned Tapad, which launched a product on Tuesday called Switchboard that aims to make the growing multitude of cookieless IDs interoperable with each other. Switchboard is a module that... Continue reading »

The Big Story: M&A Gravy

The first half of 2020 was pretty lean. This year is on track to be the slowest since 2015 in terms of deal activity, according to LUMA Partners. But set the table and get out the gravy boat, because strategic M&A started to pick back up in Q3 and the momentum has continued into the... Continue reading »

Telenor has sold cross-device company Tapad to Experian, which is acquiring 100% of Tapad for a cash consideration of roughly $280 million.
Telenor Sells Tapad To Experian For $280 Million

Guess telcos really aren’t that into ad tech after all. On Thursday, Norwegian telco Telenor sold cross-device company Tapad to Experian in a transaction advised by LUMA Partners. Experian is acquiring 100% of Tapad for a cash consideration of roughly $280 million. Not too shabby for an ad tech company getting sold in 2020. Tapad’s... Continue reading »

Tapad CEO On Cross-Device Graphs And Where Its Data Comes From (Hint: Not Telenor)

The cross-device company Tapad was an early mover in an ongoing trend where ad tech data companies divest themselves of their media sales businesses. In January 2018, Tapad – owned by the Norwegian telco Telenor – offloaded its DSP to Brand Networks, and since then, its peers like Drawbridge and PlaceIQ have attempted similar pirouettes....

Cross-Device? Nah, CDP. Tapad Launches A Customer Data Platform

Tapad launched a product on Tuesday that lets telcos stitch their first-party data to Tapad’s device graph – which Tapad will then activate through partners, including Facebook and The Trade Desk. The company is calling this service a Customer Data Platform (CDP), which is the buzzword du jour, though the vendor said it’s been working... Continue reading »

Tapad Is Getting Out Of The Media Services Game

Cross-device provider Tapad is offloading its media business with Brand Networks, a social marketing tech firm that serves large retail brands and enterprise clients. The deal, announced Tuesday, is structured like a partnership rather than an acquisition, said Tapad CEO Sigvart Voss Eriksen. Tapad’s managed media and creative teams will join Brand Networks to help... Continue reading »

A Peek Into How Telenor Is Tapping Into Its Tapad Acquisition

When Norwegian telco Telenor acquired cross-device vendor Tapad in February 2016, it seemed comparable to Verizon buying AOL. One year later however, Telenor is using Tapad's tech to drive sales and customer acquisition for its own products, rather than making its data available on the open exchange. Tapad also continues to operate as a standalone... Continue reading »
