Digital advertising accounts for 35% of the overall market. But consumer research suggests this share could increase dramatically over coming years, with blockchain technology representing a powerful avenue for this transition. According to research from Zenith, Digital is driving virtually all growth in the global ad market.
Management notes that MadHive has a proven track record in leveraging blockchain technology for the authentication of true value transactions in the ad-tech ecosystem without sacrificing either transparency or efficiency. The Company believes that this will help to establish a clear path to monetizing the IPShare model given the accuracy and exchange efficiency of both ad impressions and data analytics within the MadHive platform.
We are currently testing 2.5 million images, including the monetization of dormant images, noted Matthew Goldman , Image Protect CO-CEO. Once testing has been completed, MadHive will collaborate with digital advertising agencies to utilize these images as digital billboards.
Management believes that its IPShare model will deliver an empowering AD-Technology solution to mainstream digital image rightsholders and content creators, leveraging the power of to manage digital licenses, in-photo advertisements, and revolutionary user analytics for tracking, protecting, and monetizing the digital life of proprietary content.

IPShare is changing the way people can market online. Pictures converted to the IPShare format can be embedded with advertisements think YouTube and Facebook ads, but in picture format.

As an option to the standard DMCA takedown notice, IPShare generates a block of code that allows photos to be copied and pasted into any website similar to code references on sites that embed Youtube or Vimeo content. Its as simple as copying and pasting the embed code into the users website template, i.e., WordPress, Blogger, SquareSpace , Wix, etc. The image is then instantly transformed into an online billboard, containing in-image advertising, hot links, social sharing and dynamic messaging. This is turning the traditional Copyright Infringement model into a cooperative relationship for both parties.
