oOh!media has announced the appointment of Hivestack and Vistar Media as Supply-Side Platform (SSP) partners ahead of the launch of its new programmatically traded inventory.
Hivestack, a programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) adtech company, will complement the outdoor media company’s ongoing relationship with Vistar Media, which remains an SSP provider.
oOh! launched programmatic trading in 2021 and has continued to increase supply across its diverse and substantial asset portfolio, including large format, street furniture, retail and office networks, enabling clients to buy scaled programmatic OOH campaigns.
The combined market coverage of Hivestack and Vistar Media as a supply side platform, together with their large integrations with omnichannel Demand-Side Platforms (DSP) will support oOh!’s continued programmatic growth.
Emma Hegg, group director – platforms, oOh! said: “Hivestack and Vistar Media’s capabilities in programmatic technology will further complement how clients engage with us now and into the future. As OOH continues to evolve, it’s imperative that we build a future that ensures clients have ease of transaction and shared capability across multiple data points, across all channels in a connected and simplistic way, ultimately driving stronger results for advertisers.”
Matt Bushby, managing director ANZ and SEA, Hivestack added: “Following a comprehensive tender process, Hivestack is delighted to have been selected by oOh! as an SSP partner as it continues to expand its programmatic offering. Our partnership represents an important turning point for our business in ANZ.
“We remain committed to driving incremental revenue through both local transactions as well as overseas revenue from global buyers. We look forward to working with the oOh! team and supporting their programmatic vision.”
As part of the programmatic growth strategy, oOh! has expanded the number of retail portrait digital screens.
Hegg added: “As the largest operator of retail Out of Home media in Australia, the diverse audiences that these environments drive and volume of impressions available across a wide range of large, medium and small centres, will ensure that clients can leverage oOh’s scale, whilst using the targeted and flexible approach that programmatic trading offers.”
