Teads, the global media platform, has announced that it has launched an office in Amsterdam after winning exclusive partnerships with Hearst and Vice Netherlands to deliver in-read advertising technology.

The latest news follows a raft of new global partnerships announced in 2018, including the BBC, The Economist and VICE Media – as well as the latest deal with The Guardian across the EEA. These publishers have all joined the tech platform that now reaches over 1.5 billion people across the globe every month.

Michiel van Turnhout, Commercial Director, added: “Teads’ strength is delivering the most engaging formats within the most premium environments. Viewability standards are a baseline measure; clients know their ads must not just be viewable but actually grab the viewer’s attention in order to deliver results. Teads Studio means we can advise at a creative level as to what will best delight the users whilst ensuring that we hit the client’s KPIs. By doing so, we can create some incredible ads, embracing phone functionalities like scrolling or swiping, all the way through to dynamic creative optimisation and even in-browser AR. The ads can be delivered at scale through our publisher partners. It’s an incredible platform and I’m thrilled to be working with Fabio and the rest of the team.”
