Emeryville, CA – August 23, 2011 – Nexage, the leading provider of market liquidity in the mobile advertising market, and TubeMogul, a brand-focused demand side platform (DSP) for video advertising, announced a strategic partnership today. Under the terms of the deal and resulting integration, clients of PlayTime, TubeMogul’s DSP for video, can now buy ad space across the Nexage RTB exchange, an integrated component of the Nexage Revenue Platform.
Video ads over RTB represent a critical step for mobile advertising, creating massive efficiencies for premium ads, providing eCPM gains for publishers and better campaign ROI for advertisers. The Nexage Revenue Platform supports video ads using the VAST standard. At the launch of this partnership, Nexage will support a range of ad formats, including in-stream, in-application interstitials, and in-display units.
These units will appear in TubeMogul's buying interface, letting marketers, agencies and trading desks access the inventory across devices while utilizing sophisticated targeting, optimization and analytics. The partnership marks a significant new premium revenue stream for publishers and app developers, while enabling buyers to target and bid on an impression-by-impression basis.
"Mobile devices present marketers with cutting edge opportunities to intimately connect someone with a brand," said Brett Wilson, CEO of TubeMogul. "We are proud to partner with Nexage to scale these efforts and help advertisers navigate these different media and quantify impact."
"The placement of mobile video ads through RTB is an exciting step for this industry and affirms RTB’s role in supporting any and all advertising campaigns and ad types," said Ernie Cormier, CEO and president of Nexage. "Video ads create a triad of value; better experiences for customers, better campaign results for advertisers, and premium eCPMs for publishers and app developers. We are very excited about our partnership with TubeMogul, as it enables both of us to further advance the mobile advertising market."
