Talon’s Atlas Shortlisted for Digiday Tech Award

Talon is delighted to share that Atlas, our automated digital OOH buying platform which enables advertisers to access premium OOH inventory across multiple markets and formats via integrations with leading supply-side platforms (SSPs) has been shortlisted for the Best Buy-Side Programmatic Platform award in the Digiday Technology Awards.

The Digiday Technology Awards recognise the technology modernising media and marketing. Additional technology categories include Best AI Tool, Best Content Management System, Best CRM Platform, Best Content Marketing Platform, Best Customer Data Platform, and Best In-Store Technology.

When compared to traditional OOH planning, Atlas effectively drives 2.3x more uplifts in Brand Preference and 1.6x stronger uplifts in Purchase Intent. Atlas further drives the bottom funnel metrics that are normally associated with digital and social media advertising, seeing 2.6x stronger uplifts in Purchase Intent when compared to social media. Average uplifts across Atlas campaigns in Brand Preference have seen a year-on-year increase of +78%, highlighting how Talon Tech evolves and improves each year​.

Nicola Fox, Head of Programmatic, said “This nomination showcases the innovative use of Atlas, which aims to redefine the Programmatic Digital Out of Home (prOOH) landscape. It’s the only audience-first OOH DSP, utilising bespoke audience targeting from Talon’s DMP Ada to enable both real-time bidding and open direct routes to market. This has enabled optimisation for every campaign against multiple factors including audience, price, goal, and time”. The Digiday Technology Awards winners will be announced on Tuesday, 29th August 2023.

In an age where data serves as the cornerstone of effective decision-making, harnessing its power has become a non-negotiable for businesses throughout the marketing and advertising industry. Talon recognises this imperative and has been using Ada to deliver audience-first campaigns for some of its biggest clients since its launch in 2018.

Constantly consuming billions of real and recent audience data points has allowed us to launch a new Ada dashboard for people across the agency to access instant insights. The Ada Insights Dashboard builds on the success of the Covid Audience Dashboard, which proved to be an effective and valuable tool that produced intelligent, data-led recommendations during unstable circumstances. The new dashboard continues to embrace Ada Lovelace’s (Ada’s namesake – a pioneer in computer programming) innovative spirit by simplifying access to unparalleled audience insights, making planning data-driven OOH campaigns more accessible. 

Tailored to the unique needs of the outdoor advertising landscape, the Ada Insights Dashboard has evolved to better visualise granular audience behaviour across the UK. This data is used to optimise when, where and how OOH campaigns are deployed to achieve maximum exposure and engagement for our clients. Our proprietary DMP, Ada, houses footfall data to nearly 1 million Points of Interest (POIs) over the past 12 months. We use this data to better understand how audience behaviour varies across days, regions, and categories alongside the payback OOH can deliver. Ingesting over 1 billion location observations via SDK data, the platform filters footfall data by category and region to inform and optimise planning strategies for our clients. 

The Ada Insights Dashboard enables Talon’s planning teams to: 

This dashboard, combined with Talon’s other proprietary AdTech platforms, wealth of effectiveness data and experienced planning experts ensures that we are continuing to deliver the best OOH solutions and successful outcomes for our clients. 

Luke Willbourn, new UK MD said that the Ada Insights Dashboard is a great tool for Talon to enhance our audience-first planning with easier access to effective insights. “By simplifying complex data sets into instant actionable results and real-time updates, we’re able to craft campaigns that better resonate with client audiences, ultimately driving greater engagement and return on investment”. 

In an era where data reigns supreme, tools like the Ada Insights Dashboard makes data-driven OOH planning simpler. At Talon, we believe that strategic audience-first insights are the foundation for effective OOH campaigns.

Palatnek’s Appointment Bolsters Talon’s Leadership Team Driving Innovation and Performance

New York, NY – August 10, 2023 – Talon, the global independent Out of Home (OOH) media agency, today announced the appointment of Todd Palatnek, joining the Leadership team in the position of Senior Vice President of Client Development. Todd joins Talon US from MediaMath, where he served as Vice President of Client Success. Effective immediately, he will be responsible for spearheading Talon’s business expansion and driving revenue growth in North America.

“Brands are demanding more from their media investments and OOH has emerged as an advanced, data-powered, and inventive medium – with Talon leading the way,” said Jim Wilson, CEO of Talon US. “Todd joins our team at a pivotal time as we continue to scale our North American business. His wealth of experience in OOH, digital media, data, and technology and his proven track record for achieving outcomes makes him a valuable leader to drive our new business initiatives forward. I’m confident that he’ll be an asset in unlocking the full value that OOH plays in an omnichannel strategy for our expanding roster of clients and advertisers.”

As a seasoned sales executive, Todd brings decades of expertise in digital media buying and OOH. During his tenure at MediaMath, his role in driving client strategy across the digital media ecosystem led to significant return for clients on their digital ad spend. At C2C Outdoor he was instrumental in the successful launch and expansion of the esteemed boutique OOH specialty group. Todd’s role in introducing the OOH product offering within Google’s Waze solidified his reputation as a driving force of innovation within the industry.

“Talon’s market leadership in North America has created a path for accelerated growth and demonstrates its unwavering commitment to innovation,” said Todd. “OOH continues to become a larger part of marketers’ omnichannel media approach and Talon is set up to thrive with the development of proprietary tools and technology as this integration grows. I am eager to work alongside Talon’s talented team and contribute my expertise and vision as we work to educate advertisers on how they can unleash the full potential of OOH’s digitized and unparalleled creative capabilities.”

With the loss of third-party data looming and audience journeys becoming more complex as they toggle between online and offline worlds, the OOH medium offers a unique opportunity to engage consumers along their connected journeys. The latest technical advancements in OOH allow digital buyers to tap into the array of new screens available so that they can unleash the full potential of their omnichannel marketing strategies.

Adds Palatnek, “By working with Talon, brands and agencies can close the gap between offline and online, leading consumers on a path to purchase through highly engaging and impactful ad experiences.”

The expansion of leadership marks a pivotal moment for the Company which just celebrated its 10th anniversary as it strengthens its foothold in North America and emerges as a major player in the advertising industry. Talon’s commitment to creativity and excellence has achieved global industry recognition, most recently earning the coveted Bronze Media Lion for Talon-owned Grand Visual’s collaboration with FCB NY for Budweiser, and AdMonsters and AdExchanger’s Top Women in Media and Tech Awards honor.

A good manager and company will understand, and for that you will give hard work and loyalty” I took that on board and not only lived by that for myself, but now my kids are so much older, I hope that I can pass that advice on colleagues who are now approaching that stage in life.
