Passendo Makes the Shortlist in the 2018 Danish Digital Award for Innovation Startups

Copenhagen, Denmark - April 3rd, 2018

Passendo is proud to announce that it has been named to the Innovation - Startup shortlist in the 2018 Danish Digital Award (DDA). The annual awards celebrate Denmark's best digital projects.

Passendo is a programmatic email ad server and supply-side platform (SSP). It is designed for advertisers and marketers, allowing them to run display and native ads across hundreds of premium newsletters.

This year's winners for the Innovation - Startups category will be determined by a jury of eleven industry experts, with Kim Jong Andersen, as the Jury Chairman.

 

The Danish Digital Award's jury is composed of advertisers from all over the country. In total, there are 120 competent experts: marketing managers and digital, PR, communication, and creative experts who have come together to recognize the best examples of digital work developed in Denmark.

 

Out of 351 submissions, the DDA has nominated 129 submissions in the categories of:

  • Purpose & Impact
  • PR
  • E-commerce B2C + B2B, Mobile
  • Social - Single Content
  • Innovation - Established Brands / Innovation - Startups
  • Fire Activation
  • Marketing Campaigns
  • Effectiveness
  • Data & Marketing Automation
  • Design, Website - Corporate or Public / Websites - Microsites
  • Social - Continuous Content

 

"It's impressive, so much professional energy and passion will be added to the jury's day. Again this year, we managed to reconcile the best powers of both advertisers and agencies. There have always been many good discussions in finding the winners," said Mia Skjoldstrand, Head of Danish Digital Award.

 

“We are very proud and honored to be among the few selected in the category,” said Anders Rantzau Rasmussen, Chief Commercial Officer and Founder at Passendo.

 

Passendo delivers high quality native and display advertising in a cookie free and exclusive network. The Passendo email engine uses a unique identifier to track the opening and performance of ads.

 

Across many newsletters, it can keep track of campaign history for individual users in order to bind the correct impression and click to the right campaign. Active ad selection during each email open enables normal and advanced features, including eCPM optimizations and several campaign period pacing and geo and device targeting options.

 

Passendo makes it easy to manage a network of email newsletters, integrating internal and external campaign sources. Currently, Passendo only supports image ads. However, these image ads can be hosted by the Passendo platform, or hosted externally and still served optimized by Passendo.

 

Passendo works with newspaper and magazine publishers of all sizes in several categories such as music, home and garden, travel, and business, among others. The company serves ads for more than 150 premium international newsletters delivering 100 million monthly ad impressions and 10 million unique users. Passendo publishers include organizations such as Egmont, Bonnier, Jyllandsposten and Berlingske.

 

On the advertising side, Passendo works with Icelandair, Telenor, Mazda, Fiat, Zenith, Mindshare, BOSCH, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, The Austrian National Tourist Office and others. Despite its recent launch, Passendo has already managed to achieve global reach and is rapidly gaining traction in the rest of Scandinavia and Germany.

 

While there are already hundreds of SSP's available for web, there are very few options available for email. That is the unique offering of Passendo and it is expected to drive the company's rapid growth. By delivering superior results for its clients, Passendo continues to attract the globe’s largest media agencies, advertisers, and publishers.

 

A quick video introduction to the Passendo email SSP can be found on YouTube at https://youtu.be/d_nbtMvLcao. It is also the video that the company used as its submission to the DDA that resulted in a successful nomination.

 

 

The final winners of the DDA will be announced on Thursday, April 19th. The full shortlist for the DDA can be seen at https://danishdigitalaward.dk/shortlist-2018/.
