DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Dec 12, 2014) - Altitude Digital, a leading video supply side platform (SSP), today announced the launch of their new AIR (advanced impression recovery) technology. AIR is the latest addition to the company's ARENA™ supply side platform and will help publishers increase fill rates for their video ad inventory while growing programmatic revenue.
The AIR technology addresses current inefficiencies in online video advertising by detecting errors during the ad call process, allowing publishers to resend those ad opportunities to their demand-side partners. The number and complexity of systems between the buyer and seller of online video advertising has increased the occurrence of errors that result in lost opportunities for publishers. AIR scans and monitors real-time data that comes across Altitude Digital's platform to identify potential impression losses.
"Publishers are trying to grow their revenue by opening up their video inventory to more demand partners, but as a result they face a lot of issues that yield low fill rates," said Jeremy Ostermiller, CEO of Altitude Digital. "AIR and the ARENA™ Video SSP are designed to more effectively manage multiple demand partners, in turn helping publishers to grow revenue. We are committed to creating greater efficiency in the emerging programmatic marketplace and AIR helps us to do just that."
One supply-side partner currently employing AIR, AdKarma, experienced a double-digit increase in video ad fill rates, along with a proportionate lift in revenue. AIR was used to fill inventory that was going unused due to underperforming ad tags.
"My experience with the Altitude Digital team has been very positive. So far, we've experienced up to a 43% increase in fill rate after implementing the AIR technology across our publishing partners," said Calli Rost, Sr. Vice President of Sales, AdKarma.
The AIR release follows the release of Altitude Digital's ARENA SSP platform earlier this year and provides publishers with an even more complete suite of monetization tools to leverage in today's quickly evolving programmatic video marketplace.
