Adnami Expands into Benelux with New Amsterdam Office
Adnami is accelerating its European growth by opening an Amsterdam office and extending its footprint into the Benelux region through the integration of Revolution Ad’s team. In the Netherlands, the company already collaborates with publishers Massarius, Mediahuis, and Refinery89, and leverages a global supply of premium publishers. Adnami’s reach spans more than 8,000 websites and over one billion monthly impressions, enabling advertisers, agencies, and publishers to scale campaigns across the open internet. As part of the expansion, Revolution Ad’s team is being absorbed and Tim van der Bilt will serve as Managing Director Benelux, driving commercial development and partnerships. Simon Kvist, CEO of Adnami, notes that Amsterdam is a natural base for growth in Europe’s advanced media market. The Amsterdam hub will be Adnami’s seventh commercial center, with the company employing 60+ people and maintaining offices in London, Hamburg, Stockholm, Helsinki, and Paris, alongside its Copenhagen headquarters, with a planned early-2026 launch for the new office.
Google launches cheaper, better Nano Banana 2.1 image model
Google has released Nano Banana 2.1, an update to its AI image generation and editing model built on Gemini 3.6 Flash. The new version claims improvements in visual design, mask-based editing, subject consistency, and text rendering, while also reducing API pricing by roughly half for 1K and 2K outputs. It supports up to 14 reference images, four consistent people, and ten objects, and offers 1K, 2K, and 4K output options. However, early community feedback on Reddit suggests mixed results, with some users reporting worse instruction following and more restrictive behavior compared to version 2.0. Google acknowledges remaining weaknesses in small text, long passages, spatial reasoning, and factual accuracy. The model is available across Gemini app, Google AI Studio, Gemini API, AI Mode, Google Ads, Flow, and Stitch. Google continues to apply SynthID and C2PA content credentials for AI-generated image provenance.
