The power of those brands is complemented by the Oath Ad Platforms, combining the assets from BrightRoll, ONE by AOL and Yahoo Gemini.
Commenting upon the launch Sigaloff identified this as an exciting time for Australian and New Zealand consumers:
“Oath is more than just a media brand. We are differentiated through our unique combination of culture and code. We understand the changes in consumer behaviour and are investing in local content and consumer experiences that are reflective of modern day consumption. This in turn will deliver premium experiences to Australian and New Zealand consumers,” he commented.
“In addition, combining the reach of this content with the power of our technology and data stack creates a compelling proposition to advertisers in a climate of transparency and accountability.
“Oath ANZ is focused on creating relevant and trustworthy content experiences across the whole suite of Oath brands. The market sentiment so far has been overwhelmingly positive and the team and I are excited to be bringing this new proposition to life,” Sigaloff said.
The Oath portfolio in ANZ includes Yahoo News, HuffPost, AOL, Yahoo Finance, TechCrunch, Yahoo Sports, Engadget, MAKERS, Flurry, Oath Ad Platforms, RYOT, Yahoo Lifestyle and the Build Series.
