EMERYVILLE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IPG Mediabrands, the global media holding company of the Interpublic Group, and TubeMogul, a leading programmatic video advertising company, announced a global partnership today that will continue both companies' charge towards delivering programmatic video buying at scale. TubeMogul's technology and inventory is currently integrated into IPG Mediabrands' global programmatic platforms, enabling clients to access and invest in high-quality, targeted digital video. The next phase, already underway, is the integration of TubeMogul into IPG Mediabrands' custom data stack to provide increased targeting via proprietary data sets. The non-exclusive partnership will extend IPG Mediabrands' programmatic buying capabilities into the United Kingdom, Japan, and Australia, for clients in those markets.
"IPG Mediabrands has committed to and continues to enhance the automated buying commitment of 50% by 2016. TubeMogul is an important partner for us as we continue to accelerate our growth, globally," said Nicole Craine, President of Mediabrands Audience Platform. "Their willingness to embrace innovation and collaborate on new, relevant solutions for our global clients in an integral part of our offering," she added.
"IPG Mediabrands has worked closely with us for over two years in the United States and Australia to develop a video buying platform that meets their unique vision for how programmatic buying can benefit their brand clients, and we are excited to expand our partnership to global markets," said Brett Wilson, CEO of TubeMogul. "They are a pioneering client that have pushed us to innovate on multiple dimensions of our technology – all of which have improved the capabilities of the TubeMogul platform. Adding seamless access to private inventory and cross-inventory GRP optimization is the next phase of our joint solution that enables IPG Mediabrands to execute campaigns that would not have been possible previously."
