Explore Georgia Delivers a Unique and Creative Experience with New Privacy-First Targeting Solution to Increase Travel to the State

NEW YORK – August 10, 2022 – Undertone, a Perion Network Ltd. (Nasdaq:PERI) (TASE: PERI) company and leading provider of intelligent, high impact advertising solutions across all platforms, screens, and devices, today announced Explore Georgia, the tourism division of the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD), as its August Marketer of the Month case study. The campaign, which used SORT™, Undertone’s privacy-first, cookieless targeting solution, highlights Georgia’s outdoor and family-friendly attractions. The technology helped drive a 71% lift in bottom adhesion CTR, compared to contextual targeting.

Explore Georgia’s goals include reaching a national audience to increase awareness of Georgia’s travel offerings beyond the regional level, build stronger perceptions and considerations of Georgia as a travel destination, and reach new and untapped audiences through cookieless targeting. To prioritize consumer privacy and prepare for the deprecation of cookies, Explore Georgia utilized SORT, Undertone’s proprietary and full privacy-compliant cookieless targeting solution. The campaign also implemented high impact creative to allow users to explore different aspects of Georgia and designed ad units to increase consideration of traveling to the state.

SORT’s technology outperformed other targeting tactics across all KPI’s and ad formats. The campaign has driven a 41% lift in page grabber clickthrough rates (CTR) verse third-party cookies, 51% lift in page grabber CTR verse contextual, 11% lift in bottom adhesion CTR verse third-party cookies, and a 71% lift in bottom adhesion CTR verse contextual.

“As Georgia emerged from the pandemic, our strategy was to welcome and invite travelers to explore all our state has to offer, from mountains to beaches and big cities to small towns. Our goal was to strengthen Georgia’s position as a must-visit destination on the national level, setting our sights beyond the regional level,” said Mark Jaronski, Deputy Commissioner for Tourism at GDEcD. “The experience Undertone was able to provide allowed us to develop an innovative targeting solution matching the evolving cookie landscape, as well as to work with our partners to design and execute eye-catching creative that informed travelers of the unique and diverse experiences that can only be found in our state, ultimately inspiring travel to and within Georgia.”

Georgia is a state with immense natural beauty and outdoor appeal, including a mix of diverse activities and attractions for all travelers. The campaign invited people who were planning future trips and positioned the state as welcoming and ready for adventure seekers.

“Georgia is a top leisure travel destination in the U.S. and our campaign with Explore Georgia captured travelers’ attention and increased consideration by letting them explore the state through an immersive and engaging creative experience.” said Dan Aks, president at Undertone. “It is more important than ever before for travel brands to help their states stand-out from the rest and the best way to do that is through High Impact advertisements. The campaigns success showcases SORT’s ability to help reach more travel intenders, while still protecting user privacy. We are very pleased with the results and look forward to implementing SORT across more campaigns, especially within our travel division.”

Undertone was also a sponsor for the 2022 Georgia Governor’s Tourism Conference, presented by Explore Georgia, which took place in Athens August 1-3. It is the premier annual event for the state’s tourism and hospitality industry, with the goal of inspiring excellence and elevating Georgia’s tourism marketing efforts.

Undertone Launches its High Impact CTV Suite; Innovative Technology Solution Proven to Create Dramatically Improved Consumer Engagement

New product suite dramatically expands Undertone’s comprehensive multiscreen solution, enabling advertisers to reach new levels of interaction and intimacy that facilitate deeper brand/consumer connections

“With Undertone’s Live CTV, our ads are integrated into the game broadcast, making them nearly unmissable!” reports DraftKings

 

NEW YORKJuly 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Undertone, a Perion Technology Ltd. company (NASDAQ: PERI), the leader in data-driven, intelligent high impact campaigns, today announced the launch of its latest initiative, the High Impact CTV Suite. Heralding a new level of innovation and maturity for CTV, the innovative technology was developed by Perion’s industry-leading R&D team. It serves as a catalyst for new levels of engaged and memorable connections between brands and consumers across all screens – a critical, yet challenging task in today’s crowded video ad space that spans TV, desktop, mobile, and other connected devices.

Undertone’s High Impact CTV Suite complements the company’s existing video and display offerings, enabling a comprehensive multiscreen solution that is required for advertisers amidst a fragmented video landscape. The new product suite is driven by technology that extends the capabilities of conventional CTV by making high-impact advertising a more central part of the media consumption experience.

The technology-powered solution includes key Undertone offerings: Live CTV, Branded CTV, and Interactive CTV. Undertone’s Live CTV integrates ads alongside the content, rather than running them during ignorable ad breaks, allowing brands’ key messages to have the stature that derives from appearing alongside live broadcasts of sports, Esports or music content.

The technology behind Undertone’s Interactive CTV allows viewers to directly interact with video ads, using their remote controls to explore brand content and bring up expanded canvases with additional videos. Further, the ads can include QR codes for viewers to engage with on their mobile devices. Finally, Undertone’s Branded CTV grabs viewers’ attention with custom, eye-catching graphics and animations – for example, a car that appears to be driving across the screen.

“Undertone recognizes the challenges brought on by the current disjointed video ad space, and has invested time and resources to develop a full, all-encompassing multiscreen solution, which now proudly includes CTV,” said Dan Aks, president at Undertone. “Our High Impact CTV Suite is integrated end-to-end, which means it amplifies personalization and interactivity. Brands are truly excited by their ability to now have consumers engage with them in new ways, whether it’s with their remotes, through QR codes, or via content integration. With this product suite, we’re truly putting brands directly into the hands of their consumers.”

Undertone’s award-winning in-house creative division custom designs each creative experience so that it is entirely unique and, most importantly, memorable.

“We make significant investments in sports on linear TV, but were looking for something new and exciting, and this was definitely it,” said Olivia Sutherland, Senior TV Growth Marketing Associate, at DraftKings. “With Undertone’s Live CTV, our ads are integrated into the game broadcast, making them nearly unmissable! We loved that we could feature our CTV spots, coupled with the addition of custom backgrounds that showcase our logo and key messaging. It was a no-brainer.”
