Publicis Media U.S. has acquired Dysrupt, a digital performance marketing agency. The acquisition aims to enhance Publicis Media’s capabilities in delivering effective digital marketing solutions. Dysrupt is known for its proprietary Impact Advertising System (IAS).
IAS is a suite of tools that optimizes media, creative, and measurement. It includes tools for media buying, quality and effectiveness, enhancing creative performance with generative AI advertising, and cookieless measurement systems. Dysrupt was established six years ago.
It operates in sectors such as e-commerce, entertainment, fintech, health and wellness, and subscription-based services. Several members of Dysrupt’s leadership team will join Publicis Media U.S. They will report directly to CEO Chris Boothe. The full-service IAS offering will now be available to existing Publicis Media clients.
The IAS focuses on privacy and innovation. It includes tools for evaluating the performance of user-generated content and ads created with generative AI.
Publicis Media expands digital marketing capabilities
Its cookieless measurement methodology, called Momentum, is especially relevant as marketers pivot away from third-party cookies.
