VivaKi Nerve Center Announces European Strategic Partnership with Weborama


London - VivaKi’s dedicated R&D entity, the Nerve Center, today announced a strategic partnership throughout Europe with Weborama, a leader in Technology & Data solutions. Weborama will provide invaluable localized media, data and technology assets across Europe for VivaKi Nerve Center’s market leading Audience On Demand™ (AOD) trading desk.

AOD is a proprietary addressable media capability which aggregates precisely defined audiences from data sources and enables marketers to reach relevant audiences through a digital interface. The AOD product is leveraged by VivaKi agencies, which include Starcom MediaVest Group, ZenithOptimedia, Razorfish and Digitas and to date has served a total of 72+ billion impressions across 265 advertisers and 11,000+ campaigns, across the US and EMEA.

Weborama is the European leader in online Campaign Management, Profiling & Targeting solutions and currently a partner to VivaKi agencies in France and Spain. The strategic partnership will extend the current relationship to cover all key European countries where AOD is live including the UK, Netherlands and Germany. The partnership with Weborama is VivaKi Nerve Center’s first to span Europe, outside of existing partnerships with Google and Microsoft.

Marco Bertozzi, EMEA Managing Director for the VivaKi Nerve Center says:  “Our strategy has always been to deliver a consistent global approach to AOD, partnering with the strongest local companies to deliver the most advanced data solutions for our clients. In the exchange environment too many companies offer data and inventory either locally on a country specific basis, or globally but with a key focus on the States. Weborama has a unique offer providing advanced technologies and the very best data, as demonstrated by their recent partnership with Hi-media, across Europe. This ensures we really are delivering the best solutions for our clients.”

Alain Levy, CEO of Weborama says: “This partnership with the VivaKi Nerve Center will allow us to leverage the success stories we’ve had with the agencies in France and Spain and to extend the relationship to other European countries where we operate. VivaKi has been at the forefront of the Ad Trading game with the Audience On Demand platform, they’ve pushed us forward to deliver the best possible technology, data and media solutions to their clients, so we look forward to expanding this successful relationship with them.”
