TubeMogul Named First Partner for Vungle’s Mobile Video Ad Exchange

Partnership makes TV-quality in-app video ad inventory available for programmatic buying for the first time

Emeryville, CA(27 Jun 2014)

TubeMogul is the first buy-side partner to publicly announce a partnership with Vungle after the launch of the startup’s new mobile video ad exchange. Top brands and agencies that use TubeMogul’s software to unify their video advertising will now have access to Vungle’s TV-quality in-app video inventory.
 
The importance of scaling programmatic in-app technology cannot be understated: eMarketer predicts global mobile programmatic spend will increase to over $4.6 billion in 2014.  As consumers increasingly shift their attention to smartphones and tablets, brands will find that their marketing budgets invariably follow the eyeballs.
 
Originally launched as a monetization platform for mobile developers, Vungle recently launched the world’s first in-app video ad exchange. Vungle Exchange leverages patent-pending technology to sell 15-second, TV-quality mobile video ads programmatically, and is set apart by its ability to serve video ads in less time than it takes the human eye to blink. Vungle reaches more than 100 million unique viewers monthly, and is championed by the developers of popular apps like Fruit Ninja and Cut the Rope.
 
TubeMogul brings Vungle reliable programmatic demand from top brands and trading desks. Marketers using TubeMogul’s software can shift budgets and messaging to smartphones and tablets based on real-time data by tapping into Vungle Exchange.
