NEW YORK, NY, June 27, 2019 – Mediaocean and Operative have announced the next step in their partnership to create an integrated and electronic buying and selling process for agencies and publishers. Starting August 1, 2019, participants that have implemented the software will be able to use the system free of charge for three months. NBCUniversal and several media agencies within major agency holding companies, have already committed to the pilot and will begin integrations in late spring.

“Automation of media sales is an important step towards a future of advertising that combines the best content for consumers with the best technology for advertisers,” said Ed Kozek, Senior Vice President of Advertising Technology, NBCUniversal. “We’re excited that our clients will now be able to use these buying tools to seamlessly access our entire portfolio, to reach the audiences they love at the scale they need.”

Media buyers, publisher operations and sales teams will save up to 40% of the time it currently takes to assemble and negotiate RFPs as well as process and upload details of an Insertion Order. The pilot focuses on RFP Negotiations, automating all excel and manual order entry via a bi-directional API between the platforms, During the pilot, which should dramatically improve the efficiency, accuracy and flexibility of the negotiation and setup process.

“Mediaocean is committed to automating the media buying workflow in a neutral way for our agency and brand clients,” said Bill Wise, CEO at Mediaocean. “The Operative integration is a key initiative to automating the entire transaction flow that leads to greater efficiency, visibility and control.”

“This next phase of our partnership with Mediaocean will deliver the first premium automated buying and selling platform outside of the walled gardens,” said Lorne Brown, CEO Operative. “We plan to extend the pilot to more agencies and publishers to quickly achieve scale across channels.”
