Ad Tech Leader Makes Improving Consumer Experience Central in New Channel Release

MediaMath announced enhancements to its native advertising offering with new creative management solutions and supply partnerships that fully integrate native advertising into its omnichannel DSP, empowering clients to leverage a single platform to manage a larger share of their media spend, and a creative format proven to be more engaging to consumers. The launch comes on the heels of MediaMath’s recent round of funding of $225 million and demonstrates its commitment to improving the consumer experience while create business outcomes.

“Native is good for the entire ecosystem. It’s good for consumers because it provides a simple, clean, seamless transition between content they are already consuming and targeted marketing messages. It’s good for marketers because it drives strong performance. And it’s good for publishers because it increases their control over the appearance of their site,” said John DeFilippis Senior Director, Channel Lead Display and Native at MediaMath. “This offering helps marketers coordinate communications across every touchpoint at scale, advancing the promise of programmatic by connecting consumers with the content and brands they love.”

The native advertising market is projected to reach $41.14 billion in the US alone in 2018. Consumers are using social channels more for both communication and news gathering, and it’s the job of the marketers to provide a positive experience. This launch is a natural progression for MediaMath, as the company continues to serve ads that have engagement rates and match the format of the page they appear on for a seamless online experience with high quality content.

MediaMath’s new native offering enables clients to upload creative assets in their component parts, such as images, headlines, copy and click-through-URLs, tracking tags, directly into T1, and then use the same assets flexibly across any compatible native inventory. MediaMath has partnered with Sharethrough, TripleLift and Powerlinks to launch these capabilities with a globally-scaled inventory of premium native ad opportunities. MediaMath has also been testing leveraging the same framework to target Facebook and Instagram inventory with the same creative units.

“MediaMath’s focus on improving the quality of experiences for consumers across every digital touchpoint fits perfectly with Sharethrough’s approach to developing high-quality native advertising that performs. Native is a modern ad format that naturally flows with the content on a page, leading to better engagement with consumers. Our direct integration with MediaMath’s built-in native workflow creates an efficient workflow for buyers without requiring external tools,” maintains Sharethrough CEO, Dan Greenberg.
