What we need to build together

The core of our platform is an Over-the-top (OTT) Header Bidding solution that enables publishers to run a unified auction between their direct sales and 50 video Sell Side Platforms (SSPs). In addition, we provide an Audience Management solution based on our integration with LiveRamp and a Server-Side Ad Insertion solution.
