Horizon Media's Blue Hour Studios?is doing incredible work within the content and social spaces. We are so excited to partner with?Sarah Bachman?and team to amplify those activations on the open web, creating incremental reach and a "surround sound" effect. For the first time, marketers can execute a true omnichannel strategy that extends to both social and programmatic, resulting in smarter optimization and ultimately better business outcomes. Most importantly, marketers can finally measure the effectiveness of Talent audiences - allowing an apples to apples comparison of Talent/Influencer budgets and contextual, behavioral, and other various programmatic targeting strategies.

As always, we are thrilled to offer historically social-only audiences (fans of Talent), off the walled gardens, for the very first time. Our partnership with Horizon Media's Blue Hour Studios is an exciting step toward 360 degree marketing. "Evan Wayne, CEO and founder of Key, said the Swell Audience Network will try to address challenges around segmented audiences — and incorporate working with talent using omnichannel, integrated marketing. 'Talent is viewed like its own brand around which customer relationship management is built,' Wayne explained. 'Fans and followers of the talent can be tapped in multiple ways — going beyond social — through the platform’s vertical markets including health and wellness, fashion, sports, music and others.'"
