VlogBox, a CTV channel development, content distribution, and monetization platform that brings together leading content creators, has partnered with Publica, a leading connected TV (CTV) ad server. Publica now powers header bidding, server-side ad insertion (SSAI), and ad-break decisioning for VlogBox along with some of the biggest streaming publishers and smart TV manufacturers in the world.
With Publica’s advanced ad-break decisioning technology for CTV, VlogBox has gained greater control of ad breaks and implemented a global header bidding strategy. VlogBox can now run a unified auction of direct and programmatic demand, connecting them to over 30 of the world’s leading supply-side platforms (SSPs) via Publica’s OpenRTB integration. By increasing demand competition, VlogBox aims to grow advertising revenues and maximize revenue per second in each of its ad breaks.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with the team at VlogBox and maximize their CTV ad revenues. Leveraging Publica’s unified auction, VlogBox can increase demand, provide programmatic advertisers with better access to inventory, and improve the viewing experience for consumers,” said Ben Antier, Co-Founder and CEO, Publica.

Working with Publica gives us access to new demand we couldn’t reach before, thanks to its unified auctions and advanced ad serving capabilities that are already delivering strong results,” said Nick Platonenko, CEO, VlogBox.
