CHICAGO, May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Strata, the leader in media buying and selling software, announced today its
partnership with Premion. The partnership provides agencies utilizing Strata's software a new way to access TV viewers in the
internet era. Premion is an industry first one-stop-shop for local and regional over-the-top (OTT) advertising, which refers to
content delivered over the internet, rather than through cables or satellites.
Premion offers buyers access to brand-safe and fraud-free, guaranteed inventory with a range of top-tier partners. All Premion
inventory is premium long-form and live streaming content, offering buyers access to 15, 30 and 60 second non-skippable spots.
Premion boasts an over 95% ad completion rate to aid campaigns in reaching those audiences that have begun to migrate away from
traditional broadcast and cable.
"We're bullish on Premion's ability to provide easy access to full-length, premium OTT inventory and how that aligns with the
interests of our agency clients," said Judd Rubin, senior vice president of Strata. "Strata buyers
can continue to have their message heard by an increasingly-fragmented viewer base, while maintaining their brand's
integrity."
By utilizing Premion, agencies gain access to targeted ads that will grant exposure to audiences narrowed down by key
demographic groups, including geography, age, gender and genre. Premion utilizes a unique combination of 1st party and
3rd party data to target users based on behavioral and contextual groupings. Premion through Strata helps agencies
reach their intended audience on any device, at any time, with the security to know that the trusted relationships will keep
their brand safe.
"Consumers are spending more and more time watching content on OTT. Premion offers advertisers an easy and effective
opportunity to reach this growing audience," said Jim Wilson, president, Premion. "Our partnership
with Strata will help us reach new advertising partners and further position Premion as an industry leader and innovator.
Together, we will continue to transform the way advertisers seek consumers across OTT networks and providers."
