SINGAPORE, Dec. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Magnite (Nasdaq: MGNI), the largest independent sell-side advertising company, announced that WeTV has selected Magnite’s ad tech stack to enhance monetisation of its video inventory. WeTV will leverage the BidLink solution within Magnite’s SpringServe ad server to scale programmatically, while the Magnite Streaming and DV+ SSPs will help WeTV earn the full value of their inventory.
Having launched in Southeast Asia in 2019, WeTV delivers premium Chinese dramas, variety shows, anime, as well as original and local content across the region and continues to grow exponentially year over year as streaming becomes a mainstay in consumer budgets.
Magnite’s SpringServe ad server helps create operational efficiencies and improve monetisation opportunities for media owners like WeTV, while offering tools that allow audiences to enjoy the best possible viewing experience. Using SpringServe’s BidLink will help WeTV intelligently integrate programmatic demand into their ad stack, and enable competition between traditional-direct and programmatic campaigns across multiple integrated SSPs. This helps boost yield and increase revenue by monetising opportunities that might have otherwise gone unfilled.
“As WeTV grows in popularity, we’re committed to meeting our audiences’ growing demand for diverse, high quality shows and bringing them a premium entertainment experience,” said Mary Yeo, Head of Commercial at WeTV. “This mission requires a forward-thinking partner who can provide the technology and strategic guidance we need to be successful, and we look forward to leveraging Magnite’s expertise to provide the technology and strategic support to turn this vision into reality.”
“We’re excited to be supporting one of Southeast Asia’s largest video streaming platforms in their quest to scale programmatically while preserving the experience for viewers,” said Gavin Buxton, Managing Director, Asia at Magnite. “BidLink helps media owners level up their programmatic capabilities and increase revenue potential. Combined with the power of Magnite’s SSPs, we’re confident in the opportunities this partnership will unlock.”
