VISTO
Visto is a technology company dedicated to bringing transparency, interoperability, and accountability to digital advertising.
Company Goal:
Gain recognition as a forward-thinking ad tech company following a major rebrand and repositioning
Clarity's Challenge:
Reposition Visto (formerly Collective) and showcase the company’s platform as the solution to issues of transparency in digital advertising
About
Visto came to Clarity following bold changes within the company that was still, at the time, known as Collective. With the knowledge that transparency in digital advertising would soon be an industry rallying cry, CEO Kerry Bianchi steered the company in a new direction and turned the 11-year-old ad network media business into a forward-thinking technology company committed to bringing simplicity, transparency, and efficiency to digital marketing.
Clarity worked in partnership with the internal marketing team to completely redefine the company and develop new messaging that would reflect the value proposition of their platform, the Visto™ Enterprise Ad Hub.
Both before and after introducing the vendor-neutral platform to the ad and marketing tech community, Clarity played a vital role as trusted advisor, providing counsel on both internal and external communications following the rebrand.
Clarity executed a highly content-driven campaign for the company while also putting the dynamic CEO in the spotlight. Through bylined articles, reports, white papers and speaking engagements, we successfully established the company as one leading the charge of transparency in programmatic advertising.

Multi-platform strategy a must for best programmatic ROI, suggests study | Mobile Marketing Magazine
