With a focus on accelerating growth, Kossut will guide Adlook into the future as privacy concerns and increased regulations continue

Adlook, a next-generation brand growth platform, announced Kuba Kossut as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer. Kossut joined Adlook in early 2024 as the Global Vice President of Market Entry Strategy – overseeing global development initiatives and helping introduce privacy-first offerings to new markets with its proprietary deep learning technology. Kossut will assume his role at the head of the company during a critical time for the digital advertising industry, as he steers Adlook to lead with their privacy-first solutions.

Pulling from his over 20 years of industry experience, Kossut will lead Adlook as it continues to increase brand awareness and expand its reach across the globe. He plans to develop key collaborations with strategic partners who possess deep understandings of the digital ecosystem to future-proof Adlook’s offerings. Simultaneously, he intends to provide advertisers with tools to navigate this sophisticated field in the simplest way possible, while ensuring top-of-the-line outcomes.

“I am excited to lead Adlook during such a pivotal time of change in our industry,” said Kossut. “The digital advertising landscape is undergoing rapid transformation as we shift towards privacy-centric approaches and away from third-party cookies. By positioning Adlook at the forefront of this evolution, we can ensure that our technology not only meets but exceeds the industry standards in privacy and effectiveness.”

Kossut has previous experience as CEO, having headed EssenceMediacom Poland, where he oversaw an over 30% increase in net sales, the company’s highest COMvergence ratings, significantly outperforming industry standards. He did this all while fostering strong relationships with key clients like Warner Bros Discovery, P&G, and The Coca-Cola Company.

“As one of the earliest adopters of Google Privacy Sandbox, Adlook has actively contributed to its development,” added Kossut. “As the right to privacy becomes an even more pressing issue, I am eager to help Adlook go beyond the narrative and encourage advertisers to evaluate us against measurable success criteria. At Adlook, we like to compare ourselves to an F1 team. I aim to maintain such a pace and culture so that our product retains its pole position.”
