Acquisition Strengthens Affle 3i Consumer Platform Tech Stack and Reinforces Commitment to Accelerated Growth with an Ongoing Commercial Partnership with DT.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Affle, a global technology company that delivers premium consumer conversions for advertisers with its verticalized AI-powered Consumer Platform, announced that Affle MEA FZ LLC has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with DT (NASDAQ: APPS), formerly Digital Turbine, to acquire select strategic AdColony assets including the AdColony SDK for Android and iOS devices, tech platform, existing integration with in-app publishers and mediation platforms, the brand name, domain and the goodwill exclusively related to the assets. 

The acquisition aligns with Affle’s 10X growth strategy to augment its Consumer Platform technology stack with broader SDK reach, spanning a wide and diverse range of mobile publisher connections globally. Affle’s deep verticalization strategy and expanded IP portfolio ensure enhanced human-vs-non-human data distillation to drive premium consumer conversions through its differentiated CPCU (Cost Per Converted User) business model.

“We are excited to announce this strategic acquisition of assets as part of our 10X growth plan,” said Anuj Khanna Sohum, Chairperson, MD & CEO of Affle. “The integration of AdColony is a significant step towards driving global scale for Affle’s advertisers with premium conversions powered by deeper audience intelligence across all our industry verticals. With our integrated stack, we will unlock greater ROI for our advertisers and publishers alike, and thus drive long-term value for our stakeholders.”

The transaction enables DT to further focus investment and resources on its core media and distribution platforms and differentiated data and intelligence assets.

“We made the strategic decision following our Fyber and AdColony acquisitions to consolidate around a single exchange platform, which became the foundation for what is now DTX,” said Bill Stone, CEO of DT. “That decision allowed us to simplify our technology stack, focus our investment, and build a stronger long-term platform. Affle is a natural partner for these AdColony assets, and this transaction creates an opportunity to deepen our commercial relationship, leveraging our respective supply, demand and technology strengths to deliver greater value for advertisers, publishers and partners.”

“This acquisition reinforces Affle’s commitment to continuously scaling globally and delivering personalized recommendations across the connected consumer journeys,” said Sameer Sondhi, CEO of North America and Chief Strategic Investments Officer at Affle. “AdColony brings a long-standing and trusted reputation with publishers globally that complements Affle’s broader strategy. The acquisition further strengthens Affle’s ability to drive deeper engagement with both existing and new advertisers worldwide. Enhanced reach, combined with richer audience intelligence for premium consumer conversions, will enable truly differentiated impact.”

Through this acquisition and its ongoing commercial partnership with DT, Affle aims to deliver enhanced value for advertisers, publishers and stakeholders globally.

CINCINNATI, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Burke, Inc., a leading decision intelligence consultancy, released new research examining the reliability of synthetic data for business decision-making and introduced Burke’s FAR Framework™, a new approach for evaluating synthetic data quality and decision reliability.

As synthetic data options become more widely available, the key question is whether they can inform real-world decisions with confidence. Burke’s research compared multiple synthetic methodologies and tested whether LLM-based synthetic panels can replace human respondents, how generative data models perform relative to synthetic panels, and whether the quality of the underlying human data remains critical in a synthetic-data world.

The study finds that while LLM-based synthetic panels can be valuable for early exploration, they are not yet reliable for decision-grade applications that rely on quantitative insight: at the commonly cited 80% accuracy level, LLM-based synthetic data produced false conclusions in roughly 60% of tested business scenarios. By contrast, methods grounded in validated respondent-level human data, known as generative data models, performed substantially better, suggesting greater potential for decision-support applications.

At the center of the study is Burke’s FAR Framework, which evaluates synthetic data quality across three dimensions:

Fidelity – Whether synthetic data aligns with the underlying source of truth.Authenticity – Whether synthetic responses reflect realistic variation rather than simply reproducing existing data.Resolution – Whether relationships between variables, segments, and business conclusions are preserved.

The study also identified a clear threshold for decision reliability at which synthetic approaches were far more likely to preserve research conclusions, offering an important signal for organizations trying to separate promising applications from the less reliable.

“Organizations are hearing increasingly strong claims about synthetic data,” said Eli Moore, Vice President, Data Strategy at Burke. “The important question isn’t whether synthetic data sounds like your customer. It’s whether it leads to the same conclusions you would reach by talking to your customer. That is the standard that we believe matters most.”

“AI is impacting how organizations generate insight and make decisions,” said Thania Farrar, Senior Vice President, Corporate Innovation at Burke. “There’s an opportunity to combine high-quality human data, advanced modeling, and expert judgment to create faster, smarter, more confident outcomes, while keeping real human voices at the heart of research.”

“Our goal is always to help our clients make the best decisions for their business,” said Tara Marotti, President & CEO of Burke. “This research allows us to help our clients feel confident about each method’s strengths, limitations, and best-fit uses.”

The findings are a result of the work of Burke Labs™, the organization’s area dedicated to testing and accelerating new AI and technology solutions that transform respondent experiences, analytics, and reporting.

Burke, Inc. is a leading decision intelligence consultancy helping organizations accelerate growth through insights, strategy, innovation, and training powered by high-quality research, advanced analytics, and expert guidance. Founded in 1931, Burke combines rigorous measurement with human-centered consulting to help clients better understand people, markets, and opportunities.
