Cadent, the predictive advertising company, launched The Cadent Platform — a unified, enterprise-class advertising system that uses predictive modeling and real-time performance optimizations to transform the omnichannel workflow. The company also announced the appointment of Peter Naylor, former Netflix, Hulu, and Snap executive, to its Board of Directors.

The new Cadent Platform brings AI-powered predictive intelligence to all advertising stages — from audience planning to media activation to outcome measurement — helping brands “know before they go” by bringing together forecasting before a campaign begins with optimization as it runs. Built from the ground up with privacy, transparency, and performance at its core, the platform breaks down the growing silos across digital and video to deliver business outcomes at scale.

“Today’s advertisers require more than delivery — they demand real outcomes from their advertising spend. The new Cadent meets that demand by putting the most advanced predictive models in the market at the center. By unifying audiences with digital and video inventory along with unique data and measurement integrations, we are redefining how advertising can create impact and accelerate business growth,” said Nick Troiano, CEO of Cadent. “With Peter Naylor joining our Board, we gain a partner who understands the evolving shape of video and digital media and who will help accelerate us through this next chapter of transformation and growth.”
