  • Entravision’s Mobile-First DSP, Smadex, Ranks #2 for Quality in Kochava Traffic Index

    Entravision’s Mobile-First DSP, Smadex, Ranks #2 for Quality in Kochava Traffic Index

    SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Entravision Communications Corporation (NYSE: EVC), a diversified global media and advertising technology company serving Latino consumers, today announced that Smadex, the mobile-first DSP (demand-side platform) that is part of its Headway business unit, was ranked #2 for quality in the latest Kochava Traffic Index.

    Smadex was the newest addition to the Top 20 Traffic Index, and was recognized specifically for its excellent high-value user acquisition and long-term retention, scoring an A in traffic quality and ranking 2nd. It also ranked in the top five in the specific app categories of education, books and references, and sports.

    “Kochava is the gold standard for the industry and this achievement is a direct reflection of our Smadex and Headway teams,” said Walter F. Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Entravision. “Across our digital offering we are committed to providing the highest quality digital advertising campaigns. Smadax has a proven technology platform, is building trust with advertising partners and is a key part of the digital marketing and data services we provide.”

    This recognition follows on the heels of Smadex’s recent selection as one of the Top 10 most innovative machine learning companies. These recognitions reflect the efforts of the Smadex and Headway teams, who have built a leading mobile-first DSP, with a constant focus on improvement and innovation.

    Kochava is an objective mobile measurement platform, and the Kochava Traffic Index is one of the principal media partner comparison resources for marketers and advertisers. As the digital advertising industry has grown to include thousands of traffic partners, and experienced many difficulties combating fraud and issues associated with a lack of transparency, Kochava’s quarterly analysis of the billions of transactions processed by mobile measurement platforms makes it possible to compare media partners based on their performance. The index takes into consideration the following metrics: signal clarity, fraud, traffic quality, and the ratio of clicks to installs.
