LoopMe Expands PurchaseLoop for Lower-funnel Performance

LoopMe announced an expansion of its PurchaseLoop solution to add cost-per-install (CPI) and cost-per-acquisition (CPA) optimisation. The update introduces two activation tracks — Performance App (optimises for app installs and post-install actions) and Performance Web (optimises for acquisitions, leads, sign-ups and ROAS) — while continuing to buy on a CPM model and use advertisers' existing measurement stacks (MMPs).

• LoopMe expanded its PurchaseLoop solution to include CPI and CPA optimisation.
• The expansion adds two activation tracks: Performance App and Performance Web.
• Both activation tracks operate on a CPM buying model and use advertisers' existing measurement (MMPs or conversion tracking).

Givsly Extends AI Values-Based Audiences to Political Advertising

Givsly, a values-based marketing company, announced its AI-driven audience discovery solution is now available for political advertising. The offering uses Values-Based Audiences, built with a vector methodology that combines values, inferred motivations, and behavioral signals at ZIP code level, rather than individual-level voter files. Political campaigns and PACs can segment communities based on more than 150 tracked values and issues, overlay their own voter files, turnout models, or CRM data, and aim to reduce wasted media spend. The audiences will initially be available through OpenX and Index Exchange via Index Marketplaces, with a broader rollout planned. Givsly says the solution uses aggregated, modeled signals rather than individually identifiable voter data.

OpenX CTO Joel Meyer Named Prebid.org Chairman

Prebid.org has appointed OpenX CTO Joel Meyer as its new chairman after he served as interim chair following recent leadership departures. In May, Prebid’s president Mike Racic, chairman Garett McGrath and product director Christian Janelli left the organization. Meyer, a board member since 2023 who also sits on the IAB Tech Lab board, said his immediate priority is hiring a new Prebid president ahead of the Prebid Summit on October 13.

Meyer emphasized maintaining Prebid’s open-source, neutral role to preserve transparency and collaboration across buyers and sellers as the programmatic ecosystem adapts to agentic and LLM-driven changes.
