Since launching in October 2020, illumin has been adopted by more agencies and brands who continue to increase their ad spend after experiencing similar benefits from our universally intuitive drag and drop platform. For example, a well-known pet food manufacturer recently increased their marketing spend by 80% from Q1 2021 to Q2 2021. Other illumin clients include Dell, Home Depot, Mercedes-Benz, and Fox Broadcasting \u2014 Lego Masters, just to name a few.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTraditional DSPs deliver the same message to consumers no matter where they are in the consumer journey, resulting in a lot of wasted ad spend. illumin bridges that gap, enabling a better user experience and increasing efficiency and return on advertising investments for marketers.\u201d\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u2014 Tal Hayek, CEO and Co-Founder, illumin\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we continue to evolve our platform, the benefits of a connected, data-driven journey will only grow more apparent and be evident by measurable impact.
