In today’s digital-first economy, enterprises across retail, travel, hospitality, automotive, and beyond are seeking innovative ways to diversify revenue and maximize the value of their data assets. The rapid rise of media networks and the strategic monetization of first-party data have emerged as transformative opportunities—reshaping how organizations engage customers, collaborate with partners, and drive advertising profitability.
