We know one size doesn't fit all! Bright™ is agile and focussed on bringing actionable insights for your online marketing efforts.

When you've mastered the technology
it's the people who make the difference.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

One size cannot fit allWe are firm believers in offering a customised service, because your working practices, goals and ambitions are unique to your business. Providing an intelligent total solution in automated trading to suit your needs.

Always independent and impartial, ensuring you are given objective advice, constructive input and a down-to-earth approach. We sweep aside the hype and hot air and reveal concrete, realistic opportunities.

Man and machineEven the most advanced algorithms won't perform optimally without human intervention. At Bannerconnect we give top priority to ad operations, product development and system engineering. These are the working domains of the specialists who monitor trends and developments and continuously steer and fine-tune your campaigns, tools and solutions.

DASHBOARDS

With Bannerconnect you never lose sight of the bigger picture and you are always in control.
A customised dashboard provides you with all the information that is relevant for you.
Any time, any place.

Custom User Interfaces

No matter how complex or expansive your campaigns become, Bannerconnect shows you exactly what is happening - and just as important: the effects of your efforts. Together we design a dashboard to exactly fit your needs and preferences. Our role is to collect, process and sort all the data and make it ready for use via your own dashboard.

Visualising Data

Detailed insight is important, but so is the bigger picture. How is the data interconnected? What are the trends in time, budget and results? We visualise data in all sorts of ways, so that you can see exactly how things are panning out at a glance. From diagrams and graphs to custom-made visualisations.

Perfect view on marketing efforts

With a customised dashboard you can check out the operations, effects and development of every individual campaign. All the data, down to the very last detail, is available to you. So you can always explain, evaluate and steer the strategy. A good dashboard is invaluable; it is the basis for all your online marketing decisions.

AD OPERATIONS

Even the most advanced systems cannot deliver a truly optimal performance without shrewd human intervention. Our ad operations specialists keep a close eye on developments and maximise the potential in your campaigns, tools and solutions.

Bidstrategies

Strategically purchased display space delivers the highest conversion rates at the sharpest price! We make optimal use of the bidding process on ad exchanges and automated sell side platforms by working out the ideal strategy for every campaign in advance. We start with what you want to achieve in your target group and then decide on the websites, advertising formats and time slots that will best achieve it. Bid strategies are a true expertise at Bannerconnect, and the addition of Big Data creates untold added value. We use consumer profiles to make exactly the right choices. A 35-year-old woman may be more valuable to your campaign than a 50-year-old man. We don't shoot in the dark, we aim meticulously - and almost 2,000 times a second.

Campaign Management

At Bannerconnect you decide just how involved you want to be in a campaign. We would be happy to assume full responsibility for the campaign management. Just leave it to us. We will of course keep you constantly updated on the results.

Targeting / Retargeting

Targeting is all about approaching and re-approaching - or retargeting - the right people. When a visitor consults specific pages on your website, you can retarget him on other sites as well. His site visits will tell you about his interests and you can modify your message accordingly.

Look-alike modelling

But we do much more besides retargeting former site visitors. We use look-alike modelling to search our data for other people that might fit into your campaign target group, people with a profile similar to that of potential customers who are already being targeted.

Whitelisting

We guarantee brand safety for all our online activities. Thanks to whitelisting you will advertise in a closed environment of safe websites. You can rest assured that your brand will not appear on undesirable websites. The alternative to whitelisting is blacklisting, whereby certain sites are excluded from a campaign.

Optimisation

We monitor your campaign continuously and adapt it if necessary. To get even better results we retrospectively conduct an in-depth evaluation and analysis of every campaign. We use the results to determine the next steps and to formulate new bid strategies. We also offer our services as an external specialist to evaluate campaigns in which we may not have been involved.

BETTER INSIGHT WITH BIG DATA

Bannerconnect helps you to convert those colossal volumes of available consumer data into orderly, useable and relevant information - 'Big Data'. If required we can also maintain and keep this knowledge current on your behalf. Our systems have the capability to expand the profile with each and every consumer contact, enabling you to learn more about both your current and potential customers.

Combining all relevant data points into a usable format allows you to build accurate and understandable profiles of the interests, interactions, intentions and value of each consumer. This data is then used to identify consumers in fractions of a second during their individual web sessions.

Continuous Profiling

Once a consumer profile is identified as matching an advertiser's target group, Bannerconnect can target (or retarget) them with dynamic messaging. Using real-time bidding (RTB) we buy the most relevant impression at the most competitive price while the profile data determines the most effective message.

Authentic consumer profiles work to everyone's advantage:
 •  Consumers receive advertising that reflects their interests;
 •  Advertisers/media agencies have a clearer picture of the consumer;
 •  Publishers can improve the overall user experience of their websites.

Scalability

One of the major advantages of 'Big Data' is it's effortless scalability. The data-pool can easily be expanded to include data derived from other sources. For example: web analytics, social networks, CRM systems etc -. Including data the advertiser may already have in its possession but currently under used or even dismissed.

Analytic Possibilities

Bannerconnects' solutions allow advertisers to readily measure and analyse consumer interaction from all points of the user journey and across multiple channels. Rather than being restricted to the traditional learning's from 'last visit's this gives the advertiser a much more in-depth insight into the entire conversion process of each customer and the investment required at each step.

From Channels to Consumers

Online advertising campaigns targeted via channels have been overtaken by data based targeting. With the aid of relevant and consistent messaging Big Data enables you to build up a more valuable and longer-term relationship with your customer.

The Next Step

In order to form an integral part of your day-to-day business operations Big Data must be applied company-wide. Are you ready for it? If you would you like to hear about how you can integrate this into your business and how it will benefit your company? Contact Bannerconnect and we'll explore the possibilities together.

STRATEGY & CONSULTANCY

We want to share our knowledge and expertise as much as possible. On the one hand, because it is part of our responsibility as ideational market leader, and on the other, to raise our relationship with you to a higher level.

Sparring partner

We can organise specific product training sessions on request. You will find us to be very flexible. If you want to know something today, we can drop by for a training session tomorrow. This is part of our commitment to knowledge sharing and a long-term partnership; we want to grow with you, step by step. You will experience that clearly in your daily contact with Bannerconnect. Everywhere in our organisation you will meet people who are happy to act as sparring partners and give you continuous feedback, on request and freely. The more your company learns and the more it does for itself, the further we can push the boundaries of innovation.

Knowledge Sessions

Our knowledge sessions are well-known among media agencies. At our regular impartial presentations we give a clear and honest picture of local markets. We explain and present our own vision on how things work and differ accross the continents. These are interactive sessions, where participants are invited to share experience and feedback. Our knowledge sessions are also available for advertisers.

Seat Management

We can make existing platforms accessible for you which you cannot or may not wish to use yourself. Setting up a seat calls for very specific knowledge. We steer the whole project and give you the tools to get started. We support you when necessary, but you arrange the contracts and they are in your own name. You are in control, but with the expertise of Bannerconnect always within reach.

The Bannerconnect headquarters is situated in the Netherlands, in the picturesque town of Sittard. The remainder of our colleagues work their magic from Amsterdam and London. 
A piece of Bannerconnect history hangs on the inside of our front door - our old logo. If you're fortunate enough to have an interview, one of the first things you'll experience is our surprisingly uncomfortable black leather 'casting couch'. Many a person has nervously waited here... wondering if they deleted their drunken facebook shenanigans. While you're waiting we might even offer you something from our fancy watering hole!! Once you're hired, one of the first people you'll have the pleasure of meeting is our COO Sebastiaan. He's adament 'The Soprano's and 'The Godfather' aren't fictional, so you'd best keep him on your good side. This is the team in its entireity, both UK & Netherlands. If all goes well you'll be here someday! The best and worst achievers here win awards. How awesome (embarrasing) is that? Some of us are famous on Facebook because they read AdExchanger. And thus get to hang out with other famous people like Sue Hunt from Right Media, and a guy called Coolio. (He made hiphop music back in the day of dial-up internet.) Great ideas are wholeheartedly appreciated, so knock yourself out with the Bannerconnect idea box. Well, not literally. If you use it for stupid suggestions clearly unsuitable for the idea box your idea will be banished to our 'will-never-ever-receive-an-answer-file' - you have been warned. For the smokers out there we've splurged on a hi-tech specially designed smoking area. To assist you in unleashing your inner sporting beast we've made a deal with the devil, who happens to own a great health and fitness club. These guys are watching over you, because noone wants to feel the wrath of Chuck Norris. (This line is approved by Chuck Norris.) When you've worked here long enough you'll be entitled to a company car. (However we do have budgets to ensure you don't go crazy and buy a Porsche or Ferrari.) At Bannerconnect we deal with loads and loads of data. So we need loads and loads of servers.  Ours  happen to be shiny with lots of blue and green lights. w00t The industry evolves, Bannerconnect evolves, exhibitions are important but this stand is so last year. Working here can be stressful sometimes,  so we make sure you have plenty of time to go on holiday with your mates. Some of our team travel long distances for work, which causes fatigue and eats away at their social lives. Everyone at the office feels very sorry for these people and shows great concern over their wellbeing on a daily basis. If you're a system-developer at Bannerconnect, basically, you've got it made. Some people at Bannerconnect become so legendary that they receive the lead role in our annual Bannerconnect Christmas Carol. In the name of having a good time we offer a variety of events for our team including: Ladiesnight, Pokernight, Q-events, Paintball, Soccer, Go Karting and Bowling. We make sure everybody at Bannerconnect gets their daily dose of vitamins.  By force if necessary! This is our brand new London office, situated in Covent Garden. Great for shopping, eating...   and working. Did we already mention that we visit a lot of events? So the choice is yours,  work with Bannerconnect or not. Like or dislike, it's black and white, sweet or sour, Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire. If you join Bannerconnect the love will be mutual.

What are pixels

Pixels are event-trackers for visitations and actions on a website. A pixel can, for example, register a view of this page or confirm an online sale of a product after seeing an advertisement. When a pixel is triggered, it stores its information in a cookie.

Data from third parties

We may buy data from third parties to expand and update our profile collection or further enrich profiles we already have. As with data collected by Bannerconnect, any bought data from third parties does not include personally identifiable information (PII).

All collected data helps us build a profile based on behaviour, interests and approximate geographical location.

Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

We do not knowingly solicit or collect Personally Identifiable Information. Our definition of Personally Identifiable Information is in compliance with the Internet Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) definition:
We do not collect ‘information that can be traced back to a specific user and provide personal information such as name, phone number, address, etc.’. In other words, personally identifiable information is information that can identify you as a person rather than an anonymous profile.

All of our profiles are anonymous and each profile represents a specific browser on a specific device, not a real person.

Why we collect data

We use the collected data to match advertisements to profiles of users who are more receptive to the offer. We believe relevant advertisements can be beneficial to both the user and the advertiser, while providing a less disruptive user experience.

Matching advertisements with individual profiles is a fully automated process and individual profiles are only accessible by a select group of people within Bannerconnect. All available data presented internally or externally consists of totals or averages of the aggregated data.

Personalised advertisements

On behalf of a client, Bannerconnect can also track viewed products on a website (f.e. webshop) and store these products in a cookie on your pc. Later, when a user lands on a webpage with advertising space, an ad can be served for one or more of the viewed (or related) products.

The goal is to provide you with relevant ads and unique offers, based on your interests. This process is fully automated and contains no personally identifiable information (PII).

You can also choose to opt-out from our profiling services. Opting out does not mean you will stop getting ads or see fewer ads. However, the ads that you receive will no longer be tailored to your interests.

If you do not want to receive any more personalised advertisements from Bannerconnect, you may opt-out of personalised advertisements.

If you do not want to share any of your preferences with Bannerconnect, you may opt-out of our data collection altogether.

Opting out is device and browser specific and requires a cookie to be placed on your device. When switching devices, browsers or after deleting your cookies, this process will need to be repeated. In order for the opt-out to work, your browser must be set to accept third party cookies.

Disclosure to third parties

We reserve the right to disclose our data to advertisers, clients and partners or others who work on our behalf. The information provided to third parties does not contain personally identifiable information.
