We are excited to launch our smart content marketing engine which allows advertisers and media agencies to move into the high growth content marketing space with all of the speed, scale and precision provided by programmatic marketing technology.”

The Convo Ink smart content marketing engine uses simple drag and drop functionality, enabling marketers to create branded content formats in minutes. The platform generates content formats that can be distributed across a network of mobile, desktop and digital out of home publishers with precision. 

Macarthur added: “The response from the industry has been huge. In the last six months we have raised capital and completed advertiser trials with Young Henry's, numobile, hayu and Baptist Care. We have also validated the platform with important tech partners including the Trade Desk and Double Verify and we are excited to be announcing our major digital, mobile and out of home publishing partners in the coming weeks.”

For advertisers and agencies, Convo Ink simplifies the creation and distribution of branded content. It also allows advertisers to target audiences which reduces media investment wastage and improves results.

For publishers, it cuts the complexity between editorial and sales teams; uses existing ad tech infrastructure to reduce the need for complex integration; while retaining editorial integrity and generating new revenue streams.
