InSkin Media’s GCC Branch Continues on an Upward Trajectory
Jonny Gardner joins InSkin Media from Explorer Publishing, new publisher partners strengthen the GCC network
Dubai, UAE. 22 March 2017. InSkin Media, the advertising technology business that develops high-impact brand advertising formats, reports a highly successful first six months of business in the GCC, since the London-based company launched its Dubai office last October.
InSkin’s high-impact display advertising solutions are proving highly attractive to publishers as digital transformation progresses in the region. New partnerships with publishers ITP, Khaleej Times, Al Jazeera, and Al-Khaleejiah add valuable editorial inventory to InSkin’s pan-regional business, delivering multi-screen campaigns across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain and Lebanon.
Successful collaborations with premium brands such as Etihad, Aldar and VW have resulted in highly effective online branding campaigns, delivering average viewability rates of 81.14%*, high above the region’s industry standard of 52.5%**.
The industry’s hunger for innovative, user-friendly formats in premium environments is reflected in the growth of InSkin’s dedicated Dubai team: Terry Arnold joined the business in December and today Toby Daniell, Head of Sales, MENA announced the appointment of Jonathan (‘Jonny’) Gardner as Sales Manager.
“We are very pleased with InSkin’s initial success in Dubai. The local industry has proven highly amenable to new technology, and values the creative opportunities which rich-media advertising provides. As advertisers seek to optimise their campaigns’ potential for impact, viewability is growing in importance as an ad validation metric, and InSkin’s highly viewable formats respond to that requirement.” Daniell says, “The expansion of our local sales team will help us service the growing demand for InSkin’s formats, as we work closely with agencies and brands to create highly effective, premium advertising.”
