Sydney, Australia – Mobile ad platform InMobi has joined independent organization Prebid.org as a technology partner member to share strategic counsel and engineering resources to key Prebid initiatives.

The mobile ad platform will join the Prebid working groups, namely Prebid Mobile, Prebid CTV-OTT Taskforce, Video Taskforce, and Identity, to ensure the Prebid community is well-prepared for the deprecation of mobile identifiers like Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).

Prebid.org is an industry-wide initiative dedicated to promoting fair, transparent, and efficient solutions for programmatic advertising. It manages open source projects, such as Prebid.js, Prebid Mobile, and Prebid Native, among others. The organization is open to all companies who are part of the programmatic ecosystem, like publishers, buyers, exchanges, and technology providers

Tom Levesque, president of Prebid.org, commented that InMobi’s experience and influence in the mobile space will be invaluable to the Prebid.org community.

“We appreciate InMobi’s interest in Prebid.org’s mission and look forward to collaborating with them as the programmatic ecosystem evolves and matures,” said Levesque.

Meanwhile, the CEO of InMobi Abhay Singhal said that InMobi’s core values revolve around trust and transparency which is something they see in Prebid.org’s actions and they are eager to be part of.

“In just a few short years Prebid.org has built an open-source community that has added value for all sides of the digital advertising industry and improved the way we work with each other. We are excited to contribute knowledge and resources to ensure Prebid.org’s mobile initiatives are effective and widely embraced,” added Singhal.

Singapore – Mobile ad platform InMobi has partnered with multi-service platform Gojek, in an aim to provide privacy-compliant personalized advertising, consumer intelligence, and identity resolution for brands in Southeast Asia – particularly to Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand.

Through the partnership, InMobi will also provide brands the capability to run surveys among Gojek audiences to unravel unique industry and consumer insights. The industry and vertical insights will be powered by InMobi’s AI-driven mobile-first consumer intelligence platform – Pulse.

Rishi Bedi, vice president and general manager for InMobi Southeast Asia, Japan and Korea, stated that through this partnership, brands can engage with Gojek audiences programmatically on InMobi Exchange via their preferred demand-side platform (DSP) platform.

Brands will have a unique opportunity to build a single view of the consumer by combining browse and buy patterns, category or brand affinity, location intelligence, and media behavior across the InMobi and Gojek platforms. Additionally, brands can also measure the sales impact of their online advertising across platforms using InMobi’s mobile intelligence, such as location and Gojek’s in-app engagement signals.

“With the deprecation of the cookie, identity resolution is becoming critical for brands across the globe and Southeast Asia to reach consumers in a relevant manner. By combining InMobi and Gojek proprietary intelligence, we will soon provide brands with a unique ID to drive contextual targeting and advertising in a cookie less world,” said Bedi.

Meanwhile, Vice President for AdTech, Data Partnership & Monetization of Gojek Pulkit Khanna commented, “Our partnership with InMobi will offer an actionable solution for marketers and be a key growth driver for their businesses, as we will be able to help them optimize their marketing spends via effective targeting. By helping marketers deliver the right content to users on the right occasion, they will be able to maximize impact and ROI.
