(TSX: AT) (OTCQX: ACUIF) ("AcuityAds" or "Company"), a leading technology company that enables advertisers to connect intelligently with audiences across digital advertising campaigns from a single platform, provided an update today on its new advertising automation technology, illumin.</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> Revenue attributable to illumin exceeded <span class="xn-money" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px;">$1.5 million </span>in the fourth quarter of 2020, less than 90 days after the platform's highly anticipated launch on <span class="xn-chron" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px;">October 1, 2020 </span>. While the Company had initially anticipated revenue from the platform to positively impact its overall performance by the second half of 2021, this timeline has been accelerated. Demand for the platform, both from clients that participated in the beta testing as well as clients new to the platform, has been greater than expected, with strong positive feedback.</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> As a result of this higher demand, AcuityAds' pipeline for the first quarter of 2021 is larger than expected, with business expected from new clients in industries such as home furnishings, finance & insurance, quick-serve restaurants and consumer packaged goods (CPG). Major brands representing industries such as direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales, health and wellness, finance, CPG, wine and spirits, and national restaurant chains, have already turned to illumin to close the gap between planning and execution of programmatic advertising. The Company's pipeline is expected to contribute to significant sequential illumin revenue growth, with 85% of the pipeline demand from Fortune 1000 clients.</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> "While we did not expect illumin to generate its first million dollars in revenues in 2020, we are absolutely thrilled to have already appreciably exceeded this major benchmark, and we are actively ramping up the team to support demand from our customers," said <span class="xn-person" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px;">Tal Hayek </span>, CEO and Co-Founder of AcuityAds. "We believed that illumin would have a meaningful impact within the programmatic industry at large, yet we could not have anticipated the demand coming to fruition so quickly. illumin clearly fills a gap in the industry, and there is no solution on the market that offers the same visibility and control of real-time advertising performance across the consumer journey."</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> To learn more about illumin, contact <span style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; text-decoration-line: underline;"><a href="#" rel="nofollow noindex ugc noopener" style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; background-color: transparent; line-height: inherit; color: rgb(68, 105, 125); cursor: pointer; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-line: none !important;" target="_blank">press@acuityads.com </a></span>or visit illumin.com.</p> <p style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 12px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit; line-height: 1.6; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> <span style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit;">About AcuityAds:</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; outline: 0px;" /> AcuityAds is a leading technology company that provides marketers a one-stop solution for omnichannel digital advertising with best-of-category return on advertising spend.
