Media buying platform Adwanted Group has acquired SRDS, a
unit for locating and comparing digital and traditional media across business,
consumer and geographic audiences. Adwanted Group CEO Emmanuel Debuyck said in
a news release that the acquisition is designed to create a critical mass
marketplace where media planners and buyers can engage in automated, one-stop
planning and buying for traditional media on a single platform.
Adwanted
purchased SRDS (Standard Rate & Data Service) from data, insights and consulting
company Kantar Media in an all-cash agreement; specific terms were not
disclosed. Bain Capital recently acquired a controlling stake in Kantar. Prior
to the acquisition, Adwanted had exclusive rights to license SRDS data on more
than 6,700 U.S.
business-to-business and consumer magazines and integrate the data with the
Adwanted platform.
The
Adwanted Group was founded in France
in 2012 and launched its U.S.
operation late last year.
