Over the past year, the combined power of Equativ and Sharethrough has significantly accelerated its growth, firmly establishing Equativ as a leading independent platform trusted by thousands of global brands and all of the Big Six agencies. Strategic partnerships with major players like Deutsche Telekom and Titan OS, and the acquisition of Kamino Retail further demonstrate Equativ's commitment to innovation and global reach and role as a preferred partner for results-driven marketers.
“This is more than a rebrand—it's the culmination of a common vision to build a more dynamic, innovative, and more outcomes-driven alternative to today's fragmented ad tech landscape,” said Ben Skinazi, Chief Marketing Officer, Equativ. “Together, we've built a global platform that's designed for interoperability, intelligence, and results across the entire media journey.”

Co-Founder and CEO at Scope3, Brian O'Kelley declared: "I'm truly excited about what the future holds for Equativ, as Sharethrough and Equativ come together under one name. From pioneering green media products to being early adopters of Scope3's agentic technology, both companies have consistently pushed the industry forward. With the strength of their combined teams and platforms, I believe this unified company will have an even greater impact on the future of programmatic media."
