Cadent announced the expansion of its addressable advertising management platform in Europe in partnership with Liberty Global. Cadent has now expanded its automated addressable linear and VOD Advertising Platform into Liberty Global's Irish footprint, Virgin Media Ireland, with its continental European markets to follow starting in 2021. Cadent and Liberty Global's partnership began in 2019 when Cadent deployed its platform in the UK on behalf of Virgin Media as part of the Sky AdSmart program, powering addressable advertising across both linear and on-demand in millions of homes. Cadent's platform allows advertisers to use the best of TV – the scale and engagement of live and on-demand television that builds brands – with the best of digital advertising, including sophisticated targeting and attribution capabilities. Through this unique innovation, Liberty Global can offer a truly scaled alternative to the digital and social media advertising. In particular, Cadent's solution enables advertisers to target households by using anonymized data in a GDPR-compliant manner. As third-party cookies are phased out and consumer privacy becomes even more of a priority to the industry, this approach provides advertisers the opportunity to reach strategic audiences in a trusted environment.
