placemedia Partners with Additional Independent Cable Networks to Create a Consortium for Programmatic TV Buying

SALT LAKE CITY, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- placemedia, the fully automated supply side programmatic platform for linear TV, announced today that it has added twelve additional national networks to its supply side platform totaling over 10 billion monthly household impressions to its platform through the creation of a consortium of independent cable networks.

Inventory provided by independent networks including: Reelz, Fuse, Ovation, Outside TV and Tennis Channel, will be available to advertisers and agencies through demand side providers or through placemedia's supply side gateway.

Inventory from these networks will be available in the placemedia programmatic upfront that was recently announced www.placemedia.com/upfront and will be added to existing programmatic inventory now totaling 30 billion monthly impressions.  

"This new consortium provides the best of both worlds by giving national advertisers access to highly targeted audiences and national cable networks an opportunity to create better yield for their inventory," said Derek Mattsson, president of placemedia.  "These new networks and all of our inventory partners will also benefit from a drive to bring digital dollars back to linear TV."

"The beauty of programmatic is that all types of data are utilized to pinpoint the right audience for the right broadcaster and the right advertiser," said Liz Janneman, EVP, Network Strategy, Ovation. "It's ideal for Ovation – while we may not have the reach of the big broadcasters, we do provide a highly desirable, targeted audience and placemedia helps us connect with advertisers who can really benefit from what Ovation has to offer."
