    Mogae acquires Ashish Dabral’s Ao1 with share-swap

    MUMBAI: A leading provider of integrated mobile marketing services Mogae Media has acquired Ao1 personalized video platform from Dentsu Marcom CEO Ashish Dabral. He had been developing this new-age technology platform for the past 18 months with a young tech team out of Gurgaon.

    The transaction is a cashless one, involving a share-swap that will see Dabral joining Mogae Media as the executive director and Mogae taking full ownership of the tech platform. Mogae will fund the further development and deployment of the platform.

    Ao1 is actually an acronym for ‘Audience of One’ which is what Mogae’s new acquisition seeks to deliver. “This is a wonderful technology that combines technology with creativity. It is like producing a TV commercial for just one person as audience”, said Mogae Media chairman Sandeep Goyal. “Worldwide, the trend is towards more and more video content consumption. With Ao1 we can personalise that content. So messaging to high-value customers can be individualized, and personalized such that the recipient feels special, and more positively disposed towards both the brand and its communication.”

    Ao1 works as a sell/cross-sell/up-sell engine for customer loyalty. It works to enhance the messaging in any CRM effort of banks, insurance companies, telecom operators, retail, airlines, hotels, e-commerce destinations and all such business that seek to engage their customers better. Mogae Media has in the past worked with Idomoo of Israel, the pioneer-leaders in video personalisation.

    The platform connects with the database of any client. The real-time personalisation engine resides in a cloud that enables the right video to be served to the right customer at the click of a link received by the customer in an email or text message. The driving principles behind Ao1 are engage (involve and inspire customers), connect (make it personal), satisfy (reward loyalty) and impact (create visible positive ROI).
