Adtoniq Media Kit

Adtoniq’s platform provides a brand-safe, permission-based way to reach one of the most engaged audiences, which is otherwise unreachable, ad block users.

The ad block audience skews to college-educated, tech-savvy, employed Millennials

This is a premium audience that does not suffer from ad fatigue. They engage at much higher rates because they have actively opted-in to seeing ads.

In addition to a premium audience, we only place our network on premium publishers who value the user experience. Our network places less ads on a given page and only in high visibility placements.

Where do these ads appear?

Premium publishers who care about brand safety.

Publishers install Adtoniq software, which connects with our proprietary servers to run digital ad campaigns. When an ad block user visits an integrated website, they see a customizable message inviting them to support the website by opting in to a small number of highly vetted ads, while leaving their ad blocker enabled. On average, 20-40% of ad block users opt in.

Why does this audience matter?

31% of the ad supported internet in the US has an ad blocker.

Ad blockers work across Search, Social and Video so you're likely not reaching these users through any of your advertising channels. Even worse, when these users visit your site from an organic channel, your tracking software gets blocked so you can't even measure how big of a problem you really have.

Ad blockers are one of the most engaged and highly converting audiences available.

Running a Campaign

Adtoniq is a white-glove managed service on a private marketplace platform.

We will create your target publisher mix based on your top 10 preferred sites and content type. If the publishers are not already on our network, we will work directly with them to integrate for your campaign.

We currently do not offer a programmatic solution but this functionality will be available in 2021. We will provide an analytics dashboard or access to our API for direct integration with your platform.

  1. Define campaign budget, dates, preferred publishers and performance targets
  2. Adtoniq will work with publishers to integrate and establish inventory
  3. Send creative and finalize insertion order

Targeting

Our platform is purely contextual.

Ad blocking software prevents the required tracking for behavioral targeting techniques and we believe in supporting the privacy sought by these users. However, contextual is an extremely powerful and often overlooked method of targeting that can deliver extraordinary results.

Our campaigns have a 2-5x greater CTR than an average display campaign and superior conversion results.

Our platform works on both mobile and desktop. We also allow for geographic restrictions down to the city level.

Ad Specifications

Adtoniq supports the following ad formats:

  • Any image ad unit size including all the standard IAB ad unit sizes.
  • HTML5 ads which can include video
  • Text-only ad
  • No file size limit
  • Site takeovers
  • Video ads (see example)
  • Highly customized, interactive ad units

Attribution for Ad Block Users

Ad blocking software blocks far more than just ads. It also can block javascript for tracking and attribution including: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, MOAT, Oracle Eloqua, Marketo and many others.

Because of this, you are likely missing significant data from all digital media channels, including historically hard-working performance marketing channels like Google Search, social media and email campaigns.

Adtoniq is developing a solution to unlock your missing attribution and analytics data from ad block users.

Privacy & Consumer Experience Are at the Heart of Our Business

  • We respect privacy-first users and understand their motivations.
  • Consumer “Permission” is critical to success
  • We are purposefully built to protect consumers' privacy. We do not capture any data that can reasonably be used to identify users (PII). We only store anonymized information for aggregate reporting purposes such as general location (city) and browser type.
  • Consumers are anonymous at all times. We contextually target pages and we DO NOT target ads to users based on demographic profiling or behavioral data.
  • We only serve highly vetted ads from premium advertisers. This means we never serve a popup, rollover or any ad that impedes users from completing their intended task.
  • Consumers can revoke their permission at any time, for any reason.
