MIRRIAD REVEALS LATEST EFFECTIVENESS RESEARCH

Mirriad Advertising plc

("Mirriad" or the "Company")

Mirriad, the leading in-content advertising company, today reveals positive new research* into the effectiveness of its patented technology.

Results showed that Mirriad's solution increased consumer awareness of inserted brands by 56%, whilst also driving a 12% uplift in purchasing intent.

It also found a 65% rise in those who actually consumed the featured products within 30 days of seeing the advertising, and with growing consumer aversion to interruptive advertising, another stand-out finding was that 85% of viewers liked the in-content integrations.

As part of that research, extensive testing was recently undertaken with one of the world's leading food and beverage companies. The positive results led to that brand signing an innovative framework agreement with the objective to use the Mirriad solution across different media partners in the US.

The solution was also successfully tested in an exciting growth category for the Company, with Mexican beer brand Tecate immersing their brand into Giovanny Ayala's latest music video at the start of this year.

Stephan Beringer, CEO of Mirriad, said: "We know how powerful the Mirriad format is, but it's always satisfying to see it spelled out in black and white. At a time when cookies are being phased out by Google, and many adverts are actively ignored, our proven ability to drive valuable connections with audiences in a format they actively prefer can be a real game-changer.

"The fact we are now working with another truly global company - this time driven from the demand side - underlines how Mirriad's ability to prompt consumer decisions and awareness is recognised by some of the biggest global advertisers, content platforms and content creators."
