REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – PubMatic, the programmatic advertising platform company for leading publishers, announced new audience discovery tools including audience matching, inventory discovery and a new buyer portal. The workflow automation tools empower media buyers to scale programmatic opportunities by connecting directly to multiple publishers with relevant audience segments. Further, media buyers now have the flexibility to transact with publishers via the user interface or platform of their choice by either building on PubMatic’s Unified Programmatic Direct API or using the PubMatic-provided buyer portal.
“We’re committed to being the industry leader in Programmatic Direct solutions, including both Private Marketplace and Automated Guaranteed”
The new tools, part of PubMatic’s Programmatic Direct solution, drive greater visibility, sell-through and revenue for publishers by providing access to multiple demand sources and types through one unified platform. Publishers can improve the efficacy of inventory packaging and pricing by applying real-time insights into buying patterns. Publishers can also increase efficiency and remove friction in the sales process, freeing resources to focus on business strategy and growth.
