Adelphic adds digital-out-of-home to its repertoire

Once known for mobile ads, the DSP is now making outdoor displays just another channel for campaigns.

Barry Levine on October 11, 2017 at 10:23 am

In January, Time, Inc.-owned ad tech firm Viant bought demand side platform (DSP) Adelphic.

Adelphic was born as a mobile-focused ad DSP, but it had added desktop, tablet and connected TV by the time of the acquisition.

Now, it has added the outer edges of the digital ad ecosystem: digital out-of-home (DOOH). The inventory comes from Clear Channel, which offers mostly digital billboards, and Captivate, which mostly has screens in elevators, bus stops and similar locations. The private marketplace is provided by Rubicon Project.

Viant CMO Jon Schulz told me that, to his knowledge, this offering is the first time ads are being delivered in a “fully self-service” programmatic setting to DOOH inventory, beyond just order taking. The measurement techniques — how many viewers and so on — are provided by Clear Channel and Captivate.

DOOH sales are booming at a 10 percent annual rate, according to PQ Media, and, bit by bit, out-of-home is becoming part of the overall programmatic ad ecosystem.

Santa Monica, California-based AdQuick, for instance, offers a web-based platform online service for the booking of connected outdoor displays. New York City-based Vistar Media announced last year it was offering the first employment of first-party customer relationship management data for DOOH via a partnership with data provider LiveRamp.

Schulz noted that Adelphic provides a fully integrated self-service platform that handles the entire process — bidding, targeting and deployment. This means, he said, that DOOH can be coordinated with other channels from the same dashboard.
