READ: ShareRoot adds three brands to MediaConsent pilot program
The company last month announced that it had expanded beta-testing of its MediaConsent website permissions platform to three more international brands in the media and retail industries.
The pilot program has now enrolled more than half its target, as the newcomers join existing participants in staying compliant under new consumer data and privacy laws.
These laws include those set by the European Union.
New pilot program participants
Two new pilot program participants are existing ShareRoot clients while the third is an existing agency partner.
ShareRoot is expecting the try-outs will lead to the development of a fan base among the piloters' end-user client base.
The first brand is a US-based sports nutrition supplement company recruited by an existing agency partner while the second is a US multinational corporation with warehouse clubs for members that has added another international region.
ShareRoot’s third new brand is a client and entertainment company that identifies shareable videos then licenses out the content or puts it in its own video productions.
