McDonald’s ongoing mission is to foster an inclusive environment, where diversity is embraced. A key audience, Gen Z, is the most ethnically diverse generation to date. U.S. Census data suggests that as of 2019, 49.1% of Generation Z is diverse and growing, with 13.8% Black, 25.0% Hispanic, and 5.3% Asian. 29% of Gen Z are children of immigrants or immigrants themselves, compared to 23% of Millennials when they were at the same age.

“Sabio and McDonald’s share a common mission to more effectively connect and engage with diverse consumers through a deeper understanding of the communities they represent,” said Aziz Rahimtoola, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sabio. “As a diverse owned technology and analytics company, we are excited to collaborate with an innovative brand like McDonald’s to help achieve their objectives.”

McDonald’s will have access to Sabio’s CTV/OTT inventory and customized audience segments at advantageous rates.

As CTV continues to grow and attract attention from advertisers and brands, the biggest gap lies within the diverse audience data sets. Fragmentation from evolving platforms and growing audiences, and legacy audience measurements that are not representative of diversity, have increasingly made it difficult for the industry to connect brands and the right audiences. Sabio’s comprehensive set of solutions tailored to CTV environments allow advertisers to move beyond traditional age and gender demographics, to a far deeper understanding of the evolving consumers’ preferences in app affinities and content they’re watching at the household level.

“McDonald’s remains committed to reaching multicultural audiences in authentic ways, and engaging with diverse-owned companies like Sabio ensures we’re able to do that most effectively,” said Caleb Pearson, VP – Customer Engagement & Media, McDonald’s USA. “Our shared mission, values and commitment is at the crux of the collaboration with Sabio. Sabio’s CTV/OTT inventory sources and the App Science Household Graph will make it easier to efficiently activate at scale, while connecting with McDonald’s audiences more granularly.”
