• AdTheorent has strategically incorporated privacy advantages into its DSP solutions, providing customers with a forward-looking targeting method that is not reliant on cookies or individualized personal data.

Looking ahead, Frost cited the Company’s vast opportunities for growth:

• Although a small player by market share in the global DSP ecosystem, AdTheorent has experienced continuous growth in the past three years and demonstrated a strong commitment to push innovation forward by incorporating cutting-edge and privacy-focused technologies into its platform.  AdTheorent should leverage its enormous growth potential to accelerate customer acquisition and drive revenue growth.
