Hightouch Launches Match Booster in Europe, Raising Match Rates Without Compromising Compliance3.11.2026 09:02:00 CET | Press release
In a five-market pilot, Match Booster beat a global media company’s existing onboarding provider in every head-to-head test, matching 15%+ more people on average and up to 90% more in a single test. Hightouch, the leading agentic marketing platform, today launched Match Booster in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. Match Booster helps brands, agencies, media networks, and publishers reach more of their customers on more than 50 ad platforms, including Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok, and The Trade Desk, by adding to their consented first-party data instead of replacing it. Until now, European advertisers have had two options. They could send first-party data to ad platforms alone and accept the match rates they got. Or they could hand it to a traditional onboarding provider that swaps it for a proprietary ID and drops any customer its graph can’t find, sometimes leaving audiences smaller than they started. Global companies also end up running separate US and EU workflows to meet d

Cambridge International AS & A Level June Series Results to Be Released Earlier From 20273.11.2026 08:05:00 CET | Press release
June series Cambridge International AS & A Level results moved two weeks earlierGives international students more time to confirm university places, apply for visas and arrange travel Students taking Cambridge International AS & A Levels will receive their June series exam results almost two weeks earlier from 2027. Results for the June 2027 series will be released on 28 July 2027, the International Education group at Cambridge University Press & Assessment (Cambridge) announced today. The change responds to feedback from schools, students and families that earlier results would make a practical difference. Earlier results give students more time to confirm university places, complete enrolment, apply for visas and arrange travel. Bringing the date forward will allow students to take up a university place in the same calendar year in some countries, where previously they could not. Earlier results will also give universities more time to review applications, confirm offers and resolve
