Kubient Announces Acquisition of Fidelity Media, LLC

Deal Adds SSP Capabilities and Private Marketplace Reach To Kubient’s OpenRTB, End-to-End Audience Cloud Marketplace

Kubient, a full-stack digital audience marketing platform, announced today their acquisition of Fidelity Media, LLC (Fidelity), a programmatically driven supply-side platform (SSP) and publishers’ yield-optimization platform, enhancing Kubient’s ability to sell digital advertising inventory and expanding their supply-side marketplace offerings with direct publishers, display ad capabilities, and proprietary header bidding technology. The acquisition also enhances Kubient’s video advertising reach by integrating their existing video advertising capabilities into Fidelity’s platform.

Through the acquisition, Fidelity’s fmxSSP platform will be integrated into Kubient’s Audience Cloud marketplace. This integration will allow Fidelity’s clients to reach, monetize and optimize their audience with even more flexibility and security through Kubient’s patent-pending AI-driven, pre-bid fraud prevention solution. It also expands Fidelity’s offerings to support video, digital out-of-home, audio, and native ad formats.  This acquisition comes on the heels of Kubient’s launch of the first end-to-end open RTB DOOH offering.
