CMO's top 10 martech stories for the week - 13 October
All the latest martech and adtech news this week from The Trade Desk, Microsoft, Act-On Software, LiveRamp, Atlassian, Helpshift, iPerceptions, GetResponse, ActiveCampaign and RadiumOne.
The Trade Desk launches programmatic audio
Adtech platform provider, The Trade Desk, is now offering programmatic advertising trading for digital audio inventory across the Asia-Pacific region after striking a deal with digital music provider, Spotify.
Following success tests with major brand across the region, the vendor is now allowing brand advertisers to purchase digital audio inventory alongside other channels including display, mobile, video, native and social.
Kicking off its services with Spotify, brands and agency trading desks can target audiences in real time based on specific moments such as commute, workout and party, using key criteria such as age and gender. Campaigns will be served in-stream with licensed content in Spotify's mobile environment.
"Brand advertisers want to reach and engage with consumers immersed in every day in music streaming," said The Trade Desk SVP of Asia, Matt Harty. "Our goal is to move quickly and offer advertisers access to innovative solutions and we have done that with programmatic audio."
The Trade Desk plans to expand its offering to include inventory alliances with other music streaming providers.
Harty said the other emphasis was building a solution that delivers easy-to-use performance reporting for agencies, strong measurement tools and the ability to buy other ad formats such as display and video as part of an omni-channel approach to media.
Act-On partners up with Microsoft
Marketing automation vendor, Act-On, has launched a new product bundle integrated with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Power BI and Microsoft Outlook platforms.
Act-On said it shares 500 customers with Microsoft's Dynamics CRM client based, making integration with Microsoft's ecosystem a key priority. One tailor-made application now launched for Microsoft solutions is prebuilt, native integration with CRM to enable closed-loop, account-based marketing activity.
The vendor has also integrated Act-On Data Studio and Power BI so users can push engagement data into business intelligence for sales and marketing activity, and united Act-On Anywhere and Outlook for sales and support teams, allowing them to access email templates within the mail app, opt-in communications for tracking, and to receive alerts when a prospect or customer interacts with mail.
Act-On users running different types of marketing programs, including inbound, outbound, account-based, and social that are integrated with Dynamics CRM can also report on funnel velocity and revenue attribution, and dive deeper into campaign performance.
Microsoft announces global expansion for HoloLens
In other Microsoft news, the software giant has announced this week that its first self-contained holographic computer is available for pre-order in several countries including Australia, with shipping due to commence in late November.
First announced in January last year, Microsoft revealed at Computex in June that Windows Holographic would be to Windows 10 PCs and head-mounted displays as part of a vision to introduced mixed-reality experiences. All holographic apps are Universal Windows apps, and Universal Windows apps can also be made to run on the Windows Holographic platform.
Since launching HoloLens, Microsoft has worked with several companies to see how the mixed reality experience could be used in business. One partner is Case Western Reserve University, which sees the device as an opportunity to engage with students in unprecedented ways, said its faculty director for Interactive Commons, Mark Griswold.
"The mixed-reality view means students and faculty can interact with one another and the holographic information the entire time, preserving the critical human connection that is such an essential part of learning," he said.
Over at Airbus, which is also testing HoloLens, the belief is that mixed-reality technologies, which are already deployed within products and processes, can bring both mobility and new ways to consume and link users with digital information. And at Lowe's Home Improvement, HoloLens is being perceived as a way to change the future retail experience.
"When we saw HoloLens, we knew we had found a solution that would allow us to create a collaborative process, enabling customers to make decisions about their home improvement projects quickly and confidently," said executive director of Lowe's Innovation Labs, Kyle Nel.
Microsoft Windows and Devices Group technical fellow, Alex Kipman, said partnerships are a key way to discover the best innovations.

"It has been quite inspiring to see what our partners have built and what individual developers have created," he said. "Together, we have only scratched the surface for what mixed reality can do."
Atlassian planning a CRM challenge?
A media report in Forbes this week has raised speculation that Australian software company, Atlassian, is contemplating plans that could see it directly challenge Salesforce and Microsoft in the CRM space.
Atlassian's flagship offering is Jira software, which is used by developers to track bugs and development processes. Off the back of this, Atlassian has built up a base of more than 60,000 customers and according to financial reports, brought in US$457 million in revenue in the 2016 fiscal year. The company went public at the end of 2015.
According to the Forbes report, Atlassian has announced team support for its Jira Service Desk offering, which connects IT teams with customer service reps to allow customers to be grouped by organisation. It also offers project management capabilities. However, the reporter suggested this could make the vendor's software more of a viable CRM platform.
The report quotes Atlassian co-founder and co-CEO, Scott Farquhar, saying that is indeed a question people have had, and that expanding its support capabilities to business teams is a focus. While they're called service desks, Farquhar envisions them as primary customer touchpoints across a range of users.
GetResponse debuts small business automation proposition
Email marketing platform player, GetReponse, has officially taken the wrappers of its new marketing automation offering, aimed squarely at the SMB market.
The vendor already has 350,000 clients globally using its email marketing tools. The marketing automation offering features a drag-and-drop interface for marketers to make campaign decisions and actions and connect these to tasks. It's also integrated with ecommerce systems and offers automation of various events, such as abandoned carts, purchases and repeated visits to product pages.

Users can also employ filters and rules to improve targeting and tag and score website visitors based on interest and intent, actions and types of products and services they're best suited to.
During the three-month beta period, GetResponse said the marketing automation tool delivered 6 million messages across about 13,000 marketing automation workflows.
LiveRamp eyes off people-based marketing
LiveRamp has taken the wrappers off its new IdentityLink tool, aimed at unifying siloed data across offline and digital channels to help marketers build a single view of customers.
According to the vendor, IdentityLink draws information from a variety of channels, including direct mail, social media and CRM, accommodates the privacy permissions of each data input, then allows companies to on-board that data into more than 400 marketing platforms. The vendor is tapping into the increasingly popular phrase, 'people-based marketing', to describe how these data capability can then be used by marketers for omni-channel engagement.
"We are evolving our capabilities beyond data on-boarding to support the creation of an omni-channel view of the consumer, allowing our customers to greatly increase the effectiveness of their targeting, personalisation and measurement," said LiveRamp president and general manager, Travis May.
"The challenge is that no one company- brand, agency, technology provider, data owner or publisher- has a complete view of the consumer. They all only have a piece of the equation. Identity resolution is at the heart of bringing all of those pieces together. This is only the start for us — we'll be extending IdentityLink in the near future to these remaining audiences, so everyone can work to deliver the best possible consumer experience."
Helpshift aims to improve customer support
Customer support technology provider, Helpshift, has launched a new proactive customer support tool aimed at helps organisations use data to better deliver automated customer services in a mobile environment.
Campaigns for Proactive Customer Support does this by allowing customer service teams to start outbound communication with customers, rather than just the marketing function. This is based on data received from the app, in real time, about the customer's app usage.

Through the app, organisations can identify cohorts of users affected by a specific issue, and notify them with a push or in-app notification.
"This new capability eliminates heavy lifting and allows brands to easily automate and customise outbound messaging by bringing together in-app data and smart segmentation," said CEO and co-founder of Helpshift, Abinash Tripathy. "By being proactive and helping customers in real-time, companies improve customer and agent satisfaction. This is the inescapable future of customer service."
ActiveCampaign raises US$20m for martech offering
US-based ActiveCampaign, a sales and marketing automation technology player focused on small and medium-sized enterprises, has raised US$20 million to expand its product capabilities.
The capital came from Boston-based growth equity firm, SilverSmith Capital Partners, and will be used to aggressively pursue innovations in customer lifecycle marketing and predictive modelling in order to automatically detect, predict and solve business challenges, the company stated.
ActiveCampaign claims it has experienced growth of 550 per cent since the start of 2015 and has expanded its team from 14 to 75 staff over the same period. Its platform incorporates email marketing, sales and CRM functionality and marketing automation.
"There has been a true disconnect between the all-in-one solutions of the past and the more modern needs of an intelligence-driven approach for marketing, sales, and customer success teams," said ActiveCampaign founder and CEO, Jason VandeBoom. "I am thrilled to have found a partner that shares both our vision and our product-first focus."
RadiumOne aims for Smart Links
RadiumOne is introducing Smart Links, a new tool allowing marketers to create a bespoke path via a link for a Web page or app for customers then present personalised content once they arrive.
The tool is aimed at helping increase brand engagement by better responding to the customer journey across digital channels. Leveraging deep-linking capabilities, Smart Links creates a more personalised approach to user engagement in three areas using the same link: Mobile Web content, in-app content; and app downloading.

iPerceptions buys Datacratic's adtech suite
Canada-based iPerceptions, which provides research and audience solutions, has acquired Datacractic's ad tech business for a disclosed sum.
Datacratic provides a real-time audience optimisation and segmentation suite, and has longstanding partnerships with adtech market leaders including Oracle's Bluekai data platform, which allows it to push audience segments directly into its Marketing Cloud systems. iPerception said the acquisition bolsters its position in the machine learning and audience data space by providing the most accurate first- and third-party audience intent segmentation capabilities in the market.
In particular, iPerception said the deal increases the value it delivers to enterprise clients such as Dell, Comcast and Adobe thanks to better segmentation capabilities for retargeting campaigns, improving the website experience by adapting content based on in-moment needs, and increase live chat assisted conversion by triggering chat sessions with those users likely to buy or leave.
iPerceptions also plans to invest further in its active recognition technology and integrate this with the Datacractic adtech stack. The deal does not include Datacratic's machine learning database, which will now operate as its own entity, mldb.ai.
"Datacratic's revolutionary work in the Audience and RTB Optimisation space will further complement and strengthen iPerceptions' offering," said Datacratic founder, Jeremy Barnes.

How do you use the word Mashallah?
"Masha Allah" can be used to congratulate someone. It is a reminder that although the person is being congratulated, ultimately God willed it. In some cultures, people may utter Masha Allah in the belief that it may help protect them from jealousy, the evil eye or a jinn.
What does the word Mashallah mean?
Should I say mashallah or Tabarakallah?
How do you wish someone well in Arabic?
What does "Mashallah" mean?
Why do we say "Mashallah" when we say Talisman?
Mashallah (Arabic: ما شاء الله, mā shāʾa llāhu), also Masha'Allah, Ma shaa Allah is an Arabic phrase that means "God has willed" or "as God willing", expresses appreciation, joy, praise, or thankfulness for an event or person that was just mentioned.
What do you say after Masha Allah?
Mashallah used in a sentence and reply: But if they are saying it an a way to share in your joy, accomplishment, or achievement then you can respond by saying Jazak Allahu Khayran which means "may Allah reward you".
What do you say back to Alhamdulillah?
Alhamdulillah Greetings When one sneezes, the reaction is to say Alhamdulillah which can mean "all praise is due to God alone" and the reply by the rest is yah hamuk Allah meaning "may Allah have mercy on you."
There is no such hadith that enforces Muslims to use one term more than another or vice versa. So, Muslims have a free hand, whether to say Masahallah or Tabarak Allah and even both.
Best Wishes – Get well Wishes
Get well soon. تمنياتي لك بالشفاء العاجل
I hope you make a swift and speedy recovery. أتمنى لك الشفاء العاجل
We hope that you will be up and about in no time. نتمنى لك الشفاء العاجل.
Thinking of you. May you feel better soon.
From everybody at…, get well soon.
What Wallah means?
I swear by God
Wallah, an Arabic expression meaning "I swear by God" used to make a promise or express great credibility.
What is the meaning of SubhanAllah?
Tasbih (Arabic: تَسْبِيح, tasbīḥ) is a form of dhikr that involves the glorification of Allah in Islam by saying: "Subhan Allah" (سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّٰهِ; lit. "Glory be to God").
According to Definitions, Urban Dictionary, and Learn Religions, the term Mashallah is an Arabic phrase that can also be written as ما شاء الله, mā shāʾa llāhu, Masha'Allah, and Ma shaa Allah. This phrase means "God has willed" or "God willed it" and is used to express appreciation, joy, and thankfulness at hearing good news.

"Say 'mashallah'" is a request, or more of a command, that my family gave me habitually when I first moved back from the US.
Does the absence of a "Mashallah" tempt fate?
Not only did the absence of a "mashallah" tempt fate, but it is also believed certain individuals have the power to conjure up the dark forces of the evil eye. Just as I had endangered my brothers' kids, many of these unfortunate souls unwillingly carry and spread the evil eye's bad luck everywhere they go.
What is the difference between Jazakallah and Masha Allah?
The answer mashallah tabarakallah is however followed with Jazakallah, which offers a benediction to Allah, making it more worthwhile and gratifying. It is regarded in certain cultures that saying Masha Allah when anything wonderful happens can protect people from jealousy, evil eye, or jinns.

Reddit Users Claim Drinking Spearmint Tea Can Cure Acne
Join Allure Beauty Box FLASH SALE! Sign up today and get over 40% off your first box with code BEAUTYBFF at checkout!JOIN NOW
By Sarah Kinonen
I know I'm not alone when I say this, but when a breakout pops up uninvited, I will do virtually anything in an attempt to get it gone, stat. Slather on a clay-based face mask? Been there. Dab on a medicated spot treatment? Done that. But what I haven't tried is something so far left field it might just work: sipping a steaming cup of spearmint tea.
Recently, the people of the Internet have been praising the benefits of spearmint tea in the SkincareAddiction sub-Reddit forum, and how just a few cups of the antioxidant-packed stuff over time has the power to drastically clear up breakouts. "Can we talk about spearmint? I know this has been brought up before but most of the posts I see are not from people who have tried it. I have been drinking 1 cup of spearmint tea every evening for several months and the results are incredible," wrote Redditor lizparade. Interestingly, Byrdie wrote about this topic quite recently, so it could be where our friends at Reddit got the idea.
"I have not had a single zit which confirms that my acne is hormonal," the writer continued. "I have tried researching this further but there is very limited information and most of it has to do with treating polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which I do not have. In my understanding, it reduces androgens circulating in the blood and probably is not helpful to men."
Redditors began chiming in with their own experiences, "I've been using spearmint tea (Traditional Medicinals brand) for several months and I have stopped experiencing the hormonal breakouts I used to get on my chin and I'm inclined to believe that the spearmint tea is effective for me," wrote one user. "No more hormonal acne for me. =) It did take like 3 months for any significant improvement though and 6 for all my cysts to fuck off. That includes a cyst that had been plaguing me for a year," said another.
Impressed, but still a bit skeptical, we reached out to Elizabeth Tanzi, founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care and associate clinical professor, department of dermatology at the George Washington University Medical Center, for the lowdown.
"Because the cause of acne is multifactorial, meaning different issues (clogged pores, inflammation, hormones, bacteria, etc.) cause the problem, depending on the person, I'm skeptical," says Tanzi. "There is no single cure for acne. Certainly, spearmint tea can have other body benefits, but it is unlikely that it will cure acne for most people with the problem."
Suffice it to say, sipping spearmint tea won't clear up deep-rooted cystic acne overnight. What will work, though? Topical treatments formulated with salicylic or glycolic acids, which gently exfoliate the skin to get rid of excess oil. And hey, if chugging a daily cup of tea works for you, too, then who are we to stand in the way?

New Mineola Fire Department headquarters gets under construction

Construction started on a new headquarters for the Mineola Volunteer Fire Department this month after the village's firefighters said goodbye to their longtime home.
A groundbreaking ceremony commemorated the start of construction on July 2, nearly two years after Mineola Mayor Scott Strauss — himself a firefighter — revealed that the department's century-old building on Jericho Turnpike would have to be torn down because of structural issues.
The old headquarters opened in 1913 as the firehouse for the department's Company No. 2, which had been established six years earlier.
With Company No. 1's home on Main Street — which was also serving as Village Hall at the time — in bad shape, the village decided in 1925 to expand the Jericho Turnpike building so it could house both companies.
The revamped headquarters was dedicated in 1928 and served the village for more than nine decades before its demolition, which took place from early February to mid-April.
The knockdown marked a new era for both Mineola and its fire department, which will miss the facility's history but is looking fondly towards the future, according to Fire Chief Andrew Martone Jr.
"Seeing the building come down was not easy, but we know it was the best decision for the safety of the department and the residents of Mineola," said Martone, who took his post earlier this year. "It is a real honor to stand here today, as we mark the start of our new Mineola Fire Department Headquarters. This new state of the art building will serve the residents of Mineola for the next 100 plus years."
According to Strauss, who has been an active member of Truck Company No. 2 for 40 years, wear and tear on the old building was too much to overcome.
"Unfortunately, that building has to come down," Strauss said during a Mineola Chamber of Commerce meeting in 2019.
"The department hall, the main part of the building, is starting to crack, has cracked and has shifted," he added.
The new headquarters will be equipped with equipment including a 24/7 ventilated room holding protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatuses, which help reduce the risk of cancer and other illnesses for firefighters when they're on the job, according to Martone.
The building, slated to be finished in the fall of 2022, has been developed by consulting and design firm H2M.
The construction has displaced Truck Company No. 2 and its roughly 100 members to move their gear, vehicles and equipment to another site. Engine Company No. 3 has welcomed its colleagues to its firehouse on Elm Street, which already houses members and equipment of its own. The adjustment has added a new dynamic to calls, but not new problems.
"There's always obstacles regarding coordination, but we as volunteer firemen have always gone by the motto that we overcome and conquer our challenges," Martone said. "Every day or every week we are always changing our procedures to best suit and protect the residents of Mineola."
Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated when the old fire department headquarters was demolished. Demolition took place from early February to mid-April, not earlier this summer.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – API Wellness condemns the House of Representatives for voting in favor of the American Health Care Act (AHCA). If signed into law, the bill will leave millions of Americans without insurance coverage. It would also limit protections for people with pre-existing conditions, reduce federal Medicaid funding, and increase premiums for the most vulnerable, among other issues.
As San Francisco's first LGBTQ-centered health home, API Wellness is tracking the potential impact on San Francisco's people of color and LGBTQ communities. As one of 1,400 community health centers in the nation connected through the National Association of Community Health Centers, we are concerned about the negative impact this bill could have on 25 million low-income and underserved patients served through our network. The Medicaid reduction alone would put an estimated 3 million health center patients at risk of being uninsured over the next few years.
The next stage of the fight for fair and equal health coverage occurs in the United States Senate. API Wellness asks Senators to protect the promise of our nation's health care system so that all Americans have access to quality, affordable health care.

On the cusp of his rise to international popularity, controversial University of Toronto professor, Jordan Peterson, visited the The Dark Room. Illuminating as he was on a wide array of philosophical topics, some of which reveal a deeply troubling side to our humanity, there was no mention by him about an important documentary that was being about him at the time.
Paul talks to Toronto filmmakers, Patricia Marcoccia and Maziar Ghaderi, about making that documentary, Shut Him Down: The Rise of Jordan Peterson, which premiered on CBC this month. The film present viewers with what life has been like for Peterson amid the major backlash he's received as a vocal opponent of political correctness, while also shining a light on his critics, especially the transgender community, who believe he is promoting hatred. Sensitive to differing points of view, the film shies away from being an apology or justification for either side. Rather, as Patricia and Maziar suggest, Shut Him Down invites viewers to thinking critically about the heated divisions along ideological lines Peterson's presence has created and, perhaps, a way of civilly resolving or managing them.

Zoom Webinar: Sarah Glassford on Supporting Canadian Servicemen's Resilience
An event from the Laurier Centre for Military Strategic and Disarmament Studies that may be of interest to some members.
DR. SARAH GLASSFORD
A Woman's Touch: Supporting Canadian Servicemen's Resilience in Europe, 1943–47
June 16th, 7:30 PM ET
Registration is required. You do not need a Zoom account to watch.
In this talk, Sarah Glassford will explore the emotional dimensions of the Canadian presence in Europe during the later years of the Second World War. As Canadian servicemen amassed in Britain, then advanced through Italy, Normandy, and the Low Countries, 641 women of the Canadian Red Cross Corps Overseas Detachment followed close behind. Their job was to care for Canadian servicemen, shoring up the troops' psychological resilience with a proverbial "woman's touch." Corps members' letters, diaries, and oral histories provide a fascinating glimpse of how friendship, kinship, and romance helped both servicemen and Red Cross women cope with the physical and emotional traumas of wartime.
DR. SARAH GLASSFORD is a social historian of Canada who researches the intertwined histories of women, children, wartime, health, and humanitarian aid. She is the author of Mobilizing Mercy: A History of the Canadian Red Cross (MQUP, 2017) and co-editor with Amy Shaw of Making the Best of It: Women and Girls of Canada and Newfoundland during the Second World War (UBC, 2020).

TORONTO – David Pastrnak scored a tiebreaking goal late in the second period and the Bruins defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs, 3-2, on Saturday night.
Toronto's struggling power play 1 for 36 over its last 13 game when removing a 3-for-3 effort against Florida on Dec. 20 came to life 1:53 later and gave the Leafs their first lead when Marner blasted a shot that beat Rask on the short side. It was Marner's 17th.
