CAUD - Collective Audience Appoints Digital Advertising Executive Innovator and Entrepreneur Patrick Dolan to Advisor Collective | Benzinga
NEW YORK, Jan. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Collective Audience, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAUD), a leading innovator of audience-based performance advertising and media, has appointed Patrick Dolan to its Advisor Collective, a recently announced strategic advisory community designed to advance the company's mission of transforming the AdTech, MarTech and digital media industry.
Patrick Dolan, digital advertising executive, innovator, and entrepreneur.
Dolan is an accomplished digital advertising executive with more than 25 years of experience driving organizational strategy, operational excellence, and product development across international trade organizations and corporations.
"Patrick is an incredible innovator and digital media executive who shares our vision of creating a next generation advertising and media platform," stated Collective Audience CEO, Peter Bordes. "His founding and work at IAB Tech Lab—the organization that galvanized the digital media industry to address mission-critical issues such as the cookie-less future and the privacy-complaint use of audience data—will be an important asset to the Advisor Collective."
"We believe Patrick will be instrumental in helping us solve the many issues and challenges facing brands and agencies in today's highly fragmented digital ad and marketing space," continued Bordes. "This ranges from the death of the cookie to fragmentation between buyers, sellers, audiences, and walled gardens, and with this further compounded by lack of liquidity, innovation and access to audience data. Collective Audience is all about overcoming these challenges with real-world solutions."
According to Dolan: "The digital advertising industry stands at a critical inflection point, as brands and agencies increasingly direct their attention to the industry's digital media ecosystem and seek greater supply chain transparency and simplicity. This trend was substantiated by the recently released groundbreaking report by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) that highlights how brands and agencies are poised to wield greater influence over the industry's future."
"Collective Audience is assembling a distinguished group of thought leaders in this domain who will contribute their expertise to the Advisor Collective and help shape the future of the industry," added Dolan. "This consorted effort aligns with my long commitment to advancing positive change within this dynamic field."
Dolan served more than 14 years as president and COO of Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), a trade association that empowers the media and marketing industries to thrive in the digital economy. He co-founded and currently serves as COO of FxM, a fintech startup that is revolutionizing how media companies drive financial efficiency through their digital media supply chain, accelerating payment to suppliers, and addressing the hidden estimated 20% "ad financing tax" that drives up costs across the media ecosystem.
