July 10th, 2019 – Smart, the leading independent ad monetization platform, today announces its acquisition of InsideAll, a technology company that facilitates client-side Header Bidding for publishers. InsideAll’s technology provides a single user interface, as well as a unified dashboard, in order to optimize across all exchanges. The technology will be available on Smart’s platform,  providing publishers unprecedented control and transparency in their Header Bidding endeavors. Smart bundles the technology with white-glove Managed Services to help publishers optimize their revenue and manage their user experience.

Header bidding has provided publishers more choice, more control and a more equal competition for their inventory. However, since the inception of Header Bidding, publishers have endured a painful process to integrate new SSPs in the wrapper, a lack of unified analytics, and a lack of unified features for day-to-day management of revenue sources and page latency. With the acquisition of Inside All, Smart Managed Holistic+ provides the highest level of control and insights to publishers. This empowers them to do granular analysis of their revenues and optimise them based on data-driven insights into the performance of each SSP,  the performance of specific formats and to identify potential bugs in their setups. Publishers can focus on optimising revenue while easily and precisely managing user experience.

“Smart’s Managed Holistic+ is the ultimate solution for publishers, promising them absolute certainty in their strategies. InsideAll’s technology and Smart’s managed services for Header Bidding deliver unrivaled value for publishers,” said Arnaud Créput, CEO of Smart. “This acquisition underscores our commitment to transparently maximise our publishers’ revenues, enabling them to take full control of their data, their inventory, and ultimately their monetisation sources.”

“Joining Smart is an evolutionary step for InsideAll. Together with Smart, we will be able to provide customers with a one-stop solution, embedding all the latest monetisation solutions. Leveraging Smart’s international presence and market share, we will have the means to fully deliver our product potential,” said Gabriel Chicoye, CEO and founder of InsideAll.
