REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – PubMatic, the marketing automation software company for publishers, today announced it has been selected by Sony Mobile Communications to exclusively power the programmatic advertising and ad serving for the in-app advertising inventory on a number of its premium mobile apps. In addition, Sony Mobile is leveraging PubMatic’s software development kit (SDK) to power its in-app advertising experience.
“We selected PubMatic to power the advertising within our mobile apps because it offered in-depth, real-time analytics”
Sony Mobile Communications is working with PubMatic to monetize the sizable growth opportunity presented by the mobile advertising market. In the U.S. alone, according to eMarketer, there is a $30.4 billion mobile advertising opportunity in 2015, expected to grow to $65.5 billion by 2019, as advertising spending on mobile media catches up to consumers’ time spent on mobile devices.
“We selected PubMatic to power the advertising within our mobile apps because it offered in-depth, real-time analytics,” said Carl-Fredrik Martensson, Senior Business Development Manager at Sony Mobile Communications. “As consumers spend more and more time on connected devices, we believe PubMatic’s approach is best suited to helping us manage our most valuable asset – the relationship between consumers and our content and services.”
Sony Mobile is leveraging PubMatic’s end-to-end mobile solution for direct and indirect sales in a single server stack. Sony Mobile will work with PubMatic globally across all programmatic sales channels.
Rob Jonas Global CRO of PubMatic added: “Consumption of mobile content is continuing to disrupt media and publishing at an unprecedented rate. While mobile is growing quickly, programmatic mobile is forecasted to rise at an even faster rate. We are delighted to support Sony as they address their mobile opportunity using PubMatic’s unified platform.”
