“As a long-time Xandr partner, Microsoft Advertising is excited to be an earlier adopter of Community, powered by Xandr, to give buyers the best of both worlds: access to unique, custom AT&T audiences and Microsoft’s premium, brand-safe supply,” said Kelly Davidson, director of global partnerships at Microsoft Advertising, in a statement. “Video is one of the many touch points Microsoft Advertising has with consumers, so collaborating with Xandr on a cross-screen marketplace that holistically safeguards consumer preferences and is privacy compliant is directly aligned with Microsoft Advertising’s strategy.” 

“AccuWeather reaches more than 1.5 billion people globally through our multi-platform media properties, and we partner with companies that have a similar global footprint and the expertise to help reach advertisers and brands everywhere in the world,” said Eric Danetz, chief business officer of AccuWeather, in a statement. “Xandr understands the significant impact of weather on consumer behavior and is an ideal partner to help advertisers, agencies and brands connect with AccuWeather for powerful and efficient marketing campaigns.”
