Smarter, Faster Workflows in One Platform
When broadcasters differentiate premium inventory from non-premium content, ensuring that it is strategically priced and marketed to reflect its true value, they can capitalize on the higher demand and willingness to pay associated with premium slots. Emphasizing and optimizing premium inventory is critical to increased profitability, enabling broadcasters to make the most out of their most valuable content. At the same time, non-premium can be optimized by automating the placement of those ads within the available inventory within the available audience at the lowest possible cost.
