The Privacy-First Identity Solutions
NumberEight specializes in providing "privacy-first" identity solutions for the advertising industry. In an era where privacy regulations and concerns are paramount, NumberEight's innovative approach has caught the attention of investors and industry experts alike. The advertising industry, valued at a staggering $615 billion, is grappling with the challenges posed by stringent privacy regulations and the use of personally identifiable information (PII) for targeted advertising.
So, what sets NumberEight apart? They've developed behavioral intelligence on-device AI technology that enables advertisers to reach their target audiences without relying on traditional cookies or IDs. This groundbreaking approach not only ensures user privacy but also delivers precisely tailored ads in a privacy-first manner, meeting the evolving demands of the advertising industry.
The Future Looks Bright
NumberEight has experienced significant growth and market traction, and with this new investment, they're poised for even greater success. The funds raised will be instrumental in accelerating commercial growth, strengthening product development, and expanding their operations into the United States. Their strategic partnerships with industry players like Southern Cross Austereo (SCA), Adverty, and AdInMo further validate their innovative solutions.
