MakeMeReach's latest 'one-click offering', was employed by Disney to deliver engaging and high performing ads via Instagram full-screen 'Stories'. The MakeMeReach platform uses proprietary technology to provide a 'Stories Center' where advertisers can view and optimize all implemented ads and adjust behavior based on performance. Disney noted an impressive 38% drop in Cost Per Mille (CPM) compared to ads in a regular Instagram feed; and a Cost Per Lead (CPL) that was five times lower than the average.

MakeMeReach was chosen for this award based on the delivery of strong campaign results which revolved around the release of 'Beauty and the Beast' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'.

Doron Gerstel, CEO of Perion stated, 'This is an incredible achievement for Perion. Not only does this latest win add to Perion's recently delivered long-term growth strategy, but it has allowed us to become an even stronger strategic partner for Facebook's Instagram, delivering incredible success for such a prominent client.'

Pierre-Francois Chiron, co-founder of Perion's MakeMeReach division added, 'We are thrilled to receive this award and are proud of our incredible work with Disney. Instagram Stories are really bringing video ads to the next level. In this campaign, we enabled Disney to optimize performance and reach a massive audience using qualitative formats.'
