Tennis Australia has selected Magnite’s Demand Manager as its Prebid header wrapper solution. It will use it to monetise its display and mobile inventory programmatically for the first time and ahead of the Australian Open.
Leveraging Demand Manager will provide Tennis Australia with valuable insights, flexibility, and control over header bidding operations and help them to optimise Prebid according to their specific needs in order to improve monetisation.
Tennis Australia stages a number of international tennis events, including the annual Australian Open. Tennis Australia’s ‘AO Digital’ website and mobile app provide diverse content year-round to 9.5 million users.
Yael Milbank, managing director of Magnite ANZ, said the team is looking forward to maximising Tennis Australia’s inventory across various formats, driving operational efficiencies and scaling programmatic advertising strategy during and beyond the Australian Open.
Last year, Magnite introduced machine learning-driven recommendations for A/B testing within its Demand Manager product.
Built on Prebid technology, Demand Manager empowers leading publishers with the tools, insights, and connections to grow revenue across the ever-changing marketplace of ad exchanges, formats, and vendors.
The product launch marks the introduction of sophisticated machine-learning algorithms packaged with existing industry-leading capabilities for publishers to manage their Prebid stack.
