Viant partners with Beachfront
November 3, 2021
Viant Technology, a people-based advertising software company, and Beachfront, the convergent TV advertising platform, have announced the integration of Beachfront’s premium linear and connected TV (CTV) inventory into Viant’s Adelphic advertising software. With the integration, Adelphic becomes the first demand-side platform (DSP) to support Beachfront’s unique linear TV inventory, which is enabled for real-time bidding.
“Our partnership with Beachfront builds on Viant’s longstanding commitment to offering next-generation solutions that unlock more efficient, uniform campaign executions,” said Jon Ahuna, Senior Vice President of Technical Operations, Viant. “By bringing real-time, programmatic buying technology to traditional TV environments, we’re democratizing access to premium TV inventory, which both makes it easier for brands and agencies to invest ad dollars in TV and accelerates the time it takes them to activate TV ads.”
The partnership scales the pool of Adelphic’s cross-platform TV supply and enables Viant’s brands and agencies to plan and automate linear and CTV advertising campaigns through the Adelphic software. Beachfront’s premium TV inventory spans CTV, set-top box VoD, linear, and national addressable environments and includes premium episodic content from a numner of leading media owners, programmers, and distributors.
“Shifting viewership habits coupled with the convergence of traditional and streaming TV have driven a rapid acceleration in demand for unified ad buying across all television platforms,” said Daniel Church, Head of Advanced TV Product, Beachfront. “We are excited to continue bridging linear and connected TV environments for media buyers through this partnership, and to help our programmer and distributor partners drive stronger monetisation by accessing Adelphic’s programmatic trading clients in real-time.”
