What we know about this broker
Confirmed 2026-06-16. Advantage Sales & Marketing LLC operated the direct-response marketing brand Take 5 Media Group (take5mg.com), which held 200M+ email addresses, 240M+ postal records, and 60M+ phone numbers. CRITICAL: Take 5 Media Group permanently ceased operations in July 2019 after Advantage Solutions discovered systematic misreporting of email campaign delivery metrics (open rates, click-through rates, and email volume). The website take5mg.com has displayed a ceased-operations notice since then. Data fate post-closure is not publicly documented. No working opt-out form is known to exist. Contact email [email protected] (Vermont registry) and historical email [email protected] may not be monitored. The seed category of "location" has been overridden to "marketing_graph" — this entity was a direct-response email/postal/phone list broker, not a geolocation provider. The seed tier of 1 has been overridden to tier 3 — no public profile exists and the entity is defunct. Recommended escalation path is regulator_complaint (Vermont AG or California CPPA if registered). Consumers should also contact Advantage Solutions corporate at https://youradv.com/ regarding any data held post-acquisition closure. Registered under Vermont data broker law; California and Texas registration status unclear.
