About of the product

Video and streaming TV consumption is at an all time high due to changing viewing habits. This surge has created opportunities for both streaming content publishers and advertisers, yet programmatic OTT inventory remains limited. To surmount the challenges of selling inventory via traditional methods, now is the time to choose flexible, dynamic and transparent buying models to grow OTT scale and engagement.

OpenWrap for OTT enables CTV/OTT publishers to fully maximise revenue, operational efficiency and user experience. The Prebid-powered unified bidding solution that centralises 100% of direct and programmatic demand in a server-side parallel auction. This allows response to real-time changes in viewer behavior and creates flexible opportunities for new demand, while maximising yield.

Agency Scales OTT Reach 14x from PubMatic Unified Auctions (case study)

In order to determine the efficiency and scale benefits of OTT header bidding, a leading agency conducted a head-to-head test of PubMatic’s OpenWrap OTT header bidding wrapper and a tag-based integration from video- and CTV-specialist another SSP that specializes in video and CTV. Both deals were set up via a single Deal ID from the same publisher for testing consistency. PubMatic’s OpenWrap OTT header bidding wrapper outperformed the tag-based integration across all categories for this agency.
