PubMatic Launches Audience Data on Demand

08-Apr-2011 | News-Press Release

Palo Alto, CA (April 7, 2011) PubMatic (http://www.PubMatic.com), which provides premium online publishers one holistic selling platform with high-touch service to increase their online and mobile ad sales, today unveiled its new Audience Data on Demand product which allows publishers to leverage 3rd party audience data from multiple companies and make that data actionable for direct sales packaging.  Armed with robust and anonymous interest and demographic 3rd party data about their audience, publishers will be able to respond to more advertiser and agency Requests for Proposals (RFPs), expand their advertiser base, and sell higher priced campaigns all while increasing the relevancy of ads for their users.  Audience Data on Demand is part of PubMatic’s Sell Side Platform for Premium Publishers.    

PubMatic’s Audience Data on Demand will be adding more leading data providers to the collection of initial launch partners, eXelate, Quantcast, and Proximic.   According to a Think Equity report online advertising spending for audience targeted campaigns in 2011 will be $2.9 billion and Audience Data on Demand will allow publishers to capture a bigger piece of part of those budgets. 

“We’re excited to use Audience data to glean new insights about our users,” said Ian Wallin, SVP, Digital Advertising Sales at TV Guide.  “This will help us better monetize our inventory and better serve our advertisers.”

PubMatic’s Audience Data on Demand enables premium publishers to:

  • Gain Greater Insights into their Audience: Through PubMatic publishers can see how multiple 3rd party data providers view their audience so that publishers know who is on their site. 
  • Expand Access to New Advertiser Categories:  Publisher that traditionally sold only to advertiser categories that were a contextual match for their content can now sell to entirely new sets of advertisers based on new information they have about their audience.
  • Respond to Advertiser RFPs that Include Audience Targeting:  A recent PubMatic and Digiday study found that 47% of publishers have had to turn down an RFP due to an inability to provide audience targeting as required.  Audience Data on Demand gives publisher direct, immediate access to robust data sets so they will not have to turn down RFPs and capture a greater share of the exploding $2B category of audience targeted media campaigns.

“Advertiser demand for granular audience targeting is exploding,” said Rajeev Goel, Co-Founder and CEO of PubMatic.  “As part of our commitment to empower publishers to meet the ever-evolving demand from advertisers without having to work with dozens of different companies to do so, Audience Data on Demand serves as a natural extension of our robust Sell Side Platform for Premium Publishers.  We want to make the publishers of today be the smartest sellers of tomorrow, while making it as simple as possible for them to accomplish that.”
