According to IAB Europe’s research, 70% of advertisers and 61% of agencies think CTV will be one of the key programmatic growth areas over the next 12 months. As a demand agnostic CTV ad server, Publica helps publishers deliver a seamless ad experience and maximize revenue with a unified- auction between multiple SSPs. Through this partnership with Publica, rlaxx TV can now provide advertisers with buying techniques they have come to expect from linear TV, including competitive separation and the ability to purchase the first slot within ad pods.
“We’re excited to collaborate with rlaxx TV, delivering premium content to their growing audiences in EMEA and beyond. Through this strategic partnership, rlaxx TV can access the ad decisioning technology required to grow their global CTV advertising revenue, empower advertisers with additional controls, and improve the streaming experience for their audiences,” said Ben Antier, Co- Founder and CEO, Publica.
rlaxx TV is currently available on approximately 85% of smart TVs in Austria, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, Turkey, and the United Kingdom, with plans to launch in the U.S. in Q1 2022.
