Insticator Australia Rebrands As “COOL Media,” With Plans To Expand To U.S. And Other Markets

Published

on

QUEENSLAND, Australia, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Insticator Australia, leader in managed-service solutions for media agencies in the CTV landscape and known for their next-level measurement attribution and dashboard capabilities, is thrilled to announce that they have rebranded as “COOL Media,” a move that marks a significant step forward for the cutting-edge company. This comprehensive revamp sets the stage for the rebranded company to forge ahead into American markets in the near future.

“We’ve always prided ourselves on being a ‘cool’ company,” joked Managing Director Deryck Wills, “but now we’ve made it official. With this rebrand, we’re embracing that identity even more. Our new name not only resonates with our uniqueness in the market, standing out among our peers but propelling us as the ‘popular’ choice. It’s memorable and perfectly captures the innovative spirit of our services. We’re excited to continue providing unforgettable experiences under a name that’s as awesome as the work we do.”

Acquired in 2023 by Insticator — who has gained renown and recognition as a premier SSP — COOL Media has achieved consistent recognition for their Attribution Dashboard, which provides an unusual degree of accuracy and clarity in the sometimes-confusing world of CTV advertising. Additionally, they provide in-depth analysis of campaign performance, revealing to advertisers what’s working and what’s not. Alongside Insticator’s engagement products, we’re able to collectively offer a full-360 suite of solutions for the brands and agencies we partner with.

“We specialise in running brand activity for our agency partners, providing detailed, customized, and cookie-less measurement studies that help identify a brand’s strengths and weaknesses,” Wills said. “These measurements extend far outside the basic reach/frequency/VCR metrics that have become standard in other brand campaigns.”

One of the biggest barriers to success in adtech can be the opacity of the numbers, and the difficulty of drawing a straight line between campaign decisions and the resulting performance. These rebranding efforts at COOL Media help showcase the way COOL’s products and solutions eliminate the mystery, so that clients “never wonder what works.”

This rebrand helps showcase COOL’s standout CTV offerings to an ever-expanding pool of customers. Our new website and other materials will help us communicate the advantages of working with COOL Media without unnecessary jargon, showcase our solutions in an exciting new way, and make landfall in the U.S. market with a full slate of competitive services.

“When we acquired Insticator Australia, we knew we wouldn’t keep their services contained to Australia forever,” said Zack Dugow, Founder and CEO of Insticator. “CTV advertising is a huge growth sector, but parsing the wealth of data produced in the course of a campaign is often a point of pain. COOL Media’s attribution dashboard and measurement studies provide a real light in the darkness for agencies and brands.”

COOL Media forms a key part of the ecosystem formed by Insticator’s other recent acquisitions, where each entity augments – and is augmented by – the offerings of the other companies.

Through the acquisition of Balihoo, a leader in multi-location marketing services for franchise businesses, publishers utilizing COOL Media can be connected directly to franchise advertisers. OKO Digital, another wing of the Insticator family of companies, provides optimization and monetization services for publishers. And Insticator’s Supply-Side Platform gives publishers a thriving marketplace to sell their ad space.

“People often throw around the word ‘synergy,’ but COOL Media has really transformed the Insticator family into a fully-integrated operation,” Dugow said. “Each arm of our business reinforces the mission and offerings of the others. It’s a truly exciting time for us, that’s been “cool” to see. Look what I did there ;).”

About Cool Media

In 2023, Insticator expanded their comprehensive suite of publisher tools by acquiring COOL Media, a top managed-service media solutions provider in the CTV/OTT space. This acquisition partners with the region’s largest independent media agencies to deliver impressive results for some of the biggest names in the industry.

COOL Media’s CTV Attribution Dashboard solves one of the biggest challenges facing the CTV industry today, by providing clients access to real performance metrics. This dashboard shows the true value their CTV advertising is driving for their business.

Beyond the tangible ROI from working with Insticator, COOL Media provides a talented team of media experts who excel at helping clients navigate the complexities of the rapidly evolving CTV marketplace. The first-party data collected helps publishers better understand audience behavior and facilitate surgical targeting for the brands they represent.

HZICC: The 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards Celebrating Visionaries Elevating the City’s Global Profile

Published

on

By

HANGZHOU, China, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What does the world see when it looks at Hangzhou? The Hangzhou & Friends: 2025 Hangzhou Highlights Awards, unveiled on February 4, offered an answer—not through statistics alone, but through the stories of connection that unfolded across the year.

The awards were born from a simple recognition: that a city’s global presence is built not only on grand events, but on the countless moments when people reach across borders. To honor this, the organizers structured the awards into four chapters: Dialogue of Civilizations, Industrial Narratives, Social Innovation, and Moments of the Year, each capturing a different way that Hangzhou touched the world.

Across these categories, moments of quiet resonance stood out. In the realm of cultural dialogue, ten friends from ten nations explored Hangzhou for the first time, their journeys later echoed by the city’s own return visits to Istanbul and Cairo. After the visits, a German photographer’s image of Qiandao Lake’s giant net fishing found its way to the pages of The Times, Hangzhou’s bond with Verona deepened into a year-long romance of music, art, and shared celebration, proving that sister-city ties can bloom into something far richer than ceremony.

On the Liangzhu Day of 2025, the “Liangzhu and the World: Dialogue between Liangzhu Ancient City and Rome Ancient City” was held—one of several moments when the region’s archaeological treasures found new resonance on the global stage. Beyond culture, the awards recognized how Hangzhou’s industries are telling Chinese stories overseas, from Geely’s global development to the rise of cross-border e-commerce that brings Hangzhou products,and the culture behind them directly to international consumers.

Yet there were also countless other people and moments that helped the world know Hangzhou. An international student from Pakistan filmed the city he had come to call home, capturing not just its landmarks but the feeling of belonging. A volunteer from Zimbabwe found himself holding hands with local police and strangers in a human chain at West Lake to maintain traffic order, discovering that being welcomed means being trusted to help. The Hangzhou International Conference Center became a stage for cross-cultural encounter, while Hangzhou’s tech-themed travel routes offered visitors a chance to explore the city’s cutting-edge innovations.

Together, these moments traced a portrait of Hangzhou not as a place that simply welcomes visitors, but as one that listens, shares, and grows, through the people who carry its stories onward.
