APPOINTMENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS




MediaMath, announced the integration of Google DoubleClick Ad Exchange (AdX)’s Programmatic Guaran-
teed product, the first external programmatic technology partner to do so.

The product brings the power of programmatic to the most premium, sought-after supply inventory. Google esti-
mates nearly 60% of programmatic spending will be via Programmatic Guaranteed by 2019.

“We are excited to be the first company that Google has opened their Programmatic Guaranteed offering to. The
opportunity is live with us in all AdX markets: EMEA, APAC, LATAM and North America. Advertisers achieve better
ROI when they execute this new type of deal – it’s a must-have”, Tanuj Joshi, VP, Global Media Partnerships, Me-
diaMath, commented.

Today, advertisers are looking for new ways to procure inventory through direct deals both efficiently and at scale
without sacrificing quality. MediaMath’s integration with Google’s Programmatic Guaranteed does exactly that by
streamlining the workflow for securing and negotiating high-value inventory from more than 500 publishers. More
importantly, though, it is bringing marketers one step closer to leveraging programmatic for all their media buys. ◊

nected services, technicians will have better access to customer, contract and
