SAS 360 Match – Media Monetization
Adopt a flexible, open monetization framework
Monetizing your ad inventory means having the ability to blend programmatic bids from multiple exchanges to compete with directly sold inventory and products. By quickly selecting a winner from a variety of programmatic bids, you have more precise control over how bids from PMP, open auction and directly sold sources compete. This translates into an improved content strategy and, ultimately, a better revenue model.
