MONTREAL, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hivestack, a global ad tech leader in programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, today announced that it has secured $10 million CDN in equity funding by Investissement Québec (IQ) to support its global expansion.

This significant funding will enable Hivestack to expand its workforce both in its Montreal headquarters as well as globally. Hivestack will continue to stimulate Quebec's economy by actively recruiting in all business areas, with a strong focus on R&D (research and development).

Digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising is one of the last, untapped frontiers for programmatic marketers. We’re thrilled to partner with Investissement Québec to enable a new chapter in our history.

Post this

Programmatic DOOH is a burgeoning field that offers marketers increased speed and flexibility. The ability to pause or reactivate campaigns in an "on and off" manner ensured minimal economic disruption during the pandemic. The gradual return of consumers outside of the home also offered interesting development and targeting opportunities in the field.

Guy LeBlanc, CEO of Investissement Québec said: "With this funding, we are happy to take an active part in the development and growth of Hivestack, here in Quebec and internationally. Their platform will enable advertisers, both in the public and private sectors, to reach their targeted audiences in an increasingly evolving context. Whether it is in technology, artificial intelligence or any other field, innovation and creativity will spearhead Quebec's economic recovery."

François de Gaspé Beaubien, Executive Chairman of the Board and Co-founder of Hivestack shared: "We are extremely proud to welcome Investissement Québec as our partner. Thanks to them, we will be able to accelerate the deployment of our platform at a global level. And we are especially proud that Montreal continues to be a hub for excellence and innovation thanks to the support of our government."

Andreas Soupliotis, Founder and CEO of Hivestack, also commented: "Digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising is one of the last, untapped frontiers for programmatic marketers. Today, the majority of DOOH advertising is bought directly between buyers and sellers. This is poised for a dramatic change with programmatic technology acting as the key growth driver. The rise of privacy-compliant location data, the desire for automation, and the demand for real-world attribution have created an environment where marketers are showing an increased propensity for programmatic DOOH to drive outcomes. Hivestack has shown phenomenal growth over the past three years while building great products that drive these new capabilities for our medium. We're thrilled to partner with Investissement Québec to enable a new chapter in our history. The partnership will allow Hivestack to grow at an accelerated rate by hiring more amazing talent in Montreal and expand faster internationally."
