The French Advertising Powerhouse Smart Acquires LiquidM

2019 proved to be an extremely productive and fruitful year for all of us at LiquidM. We had a successful start marked by the improved performance and the rollout of major programmatic features, e.g. new Conversion Tracking Tools, CPCV, CPC+, and CTV support. 

We are incredibly excited to wrap up the end of the year and the decade on a similarly high note with one last major announcement. LiquidM will start 2020 hand in hand with Europe’s leading SSP and ad serving powerhouse Smart AdServer.

The new partnership reinforces LiquidM’s pledge to provide a superior advertising solution compliant with the highest industry standards. Additionally, it empowers our clients to access more valuable audience data and premium inventory, expanding their global footprint across the US, LATAM, France, and the rest of the world. In turn, LiquidM’s technology will be integrated into Smart’s programmatic offering providing advertisers, agencies and trading desks enhanced access to premium inventory across all major supply sources worldwide.

LiquidM will continue to operate as a self-service DSP under its own brand as a separate company. Therefore, we’ll remain loyal to our core values and sustain close relationships with existing advertisers and partners, while exploring new business opportunities and accumulating growth as a part of the leading ad server and natively integrated SSP on the market.
