Publicis Media Welcomes Dysrupt into Its Family
Exciting news is swirling around in the world of advertising! Publicis Media U.S. has just announced the acquisition of the performance marketing agency Dysrupt. While the specifics of the deal haven’t been disclosed, there’s no denying that this partnership is set to shake things up in the digital advertising landscape.
Who are Dysrupt?
Dysrupt, which was founded in 2019 by industry veterans Jarod Haness and Nate Lorenzen, has made quite a name for itself in just a few short years. They provide innovative services across various sectors including e-commerce, entertainment, fintech, health and wellness, and subscriptions. Their mission? To create a measurable impact for their clients through strategic marketing efforts.
Meet the New Team
With this acquisition, Dysrupt’s core leadership team—led by CEO Peter Muzzonigro, Chief Revenue Officer Jarod Haness, and Chief Operating Officer Nate Lorenzen—will step into new roles within Publicis Media. They’ll be reporting to Publicis Media U.S. CEO Chris Boothe, and that’s where the excitement starts brewing!
Boosting Advertising Capabilities
One of the standout offerings from Dysrupt is their proprietary media solution known as the Impact Advertising System (IAS). This game-changer is designed to enhance Publicis Media’s full-service advertising management capabilities. It is built around the principles of privacy and innovation, which are essential in today’s rapidly evolving digital space.
The IAS service suite incorporates critical features like media buying, performance creative, and cookieless measurement technologies. Chris Boothe has expressed great confidence that these tools will not only enhance the existing capabilities of Publicis Media but will also elevate the overall performance of their clients’ campaigns.
An Eye on Results
Haness and Lorenzen are already buzzing with enthusiasm about the merger. They believe that together with Publicis Media, they can accelerate their impact in the marketplace to achieve even more remarkable results. Who wouldn’t be excited about that?
Keeping Up with Changes
While this acquisition is thrilling, it’s also a time when Publicis Media is navigating some changes within its workforce. Recently, they made the tough decision to part ways with over 100 employees in the U.S. Those separations were due to non-compliance with their new return-to-office policy, which requires staff to be in the office at least three days a week, including Mondays.
Recent Wins in the Advertising Arena
In other news, Publicis Media has been on a winning streak! They recently secured significant media accounts, including an impressive $500 million contract with Sky in Europe, along with $320 million from Rocket and $300 million from Hershey’s.
According to a report by R3 Worldwide, Publicis Groupe has emerged as a leader in global new business gains for 2023, boasting a net new business revenue of $700 million. This shows that they are not just expanding their team but also making meaningful strides in the industry.
Looking Ahead
With Dysrupt joining the Publicis Media family, the focus will be on providing advanced advertising solutions that meet the need for privacy and performance in marketing. As they embark on this journey, it’s clear that innovations are on the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s next in the evolving world of digital advertising!
