Global data partners include Permutive, a leading audience activation platform for publishers and advertisers.

"We're excited to see our innovations impacting the industry in such meaningful ways as the new standard for advertising on the Open Web," said Cauchois. "Our launch of Collective Audience Europe is about driving our innovations to greater scale and expanding the reach of our customers and partners across the region."

The launch of Collective Audience Europe builds on the company's recent strategic initiatives, including partnerships with key media networks and technological advancements designed to foster a more open and collaborative web environment.

Peter Bordes, CEO of Collective Audience, remarked on the company's unique position and global mission: "Strengthened by our new, highly capable product development and delivery teams, we are now fully executing on our vision and mission to be the 'Open Garden' for the Open Web-no more walled gardens, silos or regulations limiting reach and undermining ROI for advertisers or revenues for publishers."

"We are building the new ecosystem for the Open Web, no matter where you are in the world," said Bordes. "This is why we are so thrilled to launch this next stage of our journey with the launch of Collective Audience Europe."

Bordes notes that the evolution of the industry continues to come into perfect alignment with its unique technology that delivers a connected and collaborative digital ecosystem unlike anything on the market today.

"We're more confident than ever that we are in the right place, at the right time," added Bordes, "and equipped with a brilliant, world-class team that is inspired by the right mission and vision to empower the Open Web."

The company's initial focus on the U.S. and European markets reflects the growing demand in these regions for more effective digital advertising solutions. Collective Audience is evaluating opportunities Latin America as potentially its next region for expansion.
