Following the acquisition of LiquidM in December 2019, as well as the launch of its “direct buy” platform Smart Buyer Connect, Smart’s acquisition of DynAdmic is a natural evolution to continue to answer the market’s challenges and accelerate the company’s growth globally. While providing managed media solutions, DynAdmic fully aligns with Smart’s existing offering and its ongoing strategy to invest in technologies and media services that serve media buyers and bring them closer to quality publishers. Smart’s publisher clients on the other hand will benefit from increased demand through a new monetization channel within the platform.

“We are delighted to join a pioneer and leader of our industry and we consider Smart to be the ideal partner for us to achieve our growth journey. We share the same values of independence, excellence, and innovation, explain Stéphane Bonjean – DynAdmic’s CEO and Bruno Champion – CTO. Smart’s full-stack capabilities will allow us to rapidly integrate with their platform which, along with their strong technology, expertise and global presence, will generate significant value for our clients and partners.”
