How does the Smart x castLabs partnership provide value?

RMB, a Belgian multi-media sales house, markets video and display inventories of a wide range of Belgian sites and digital platforms. This includes AUVIO, the catch-up television, live video streaming, and video-on-demand platform of the RTBF (Belgian public TV channel). They came to Smart looking to support growth in direct and programmatic sales.

After successful migration, the video solutions of the advertising monetization platform allowed RMB to ensure the management of all advertising channels in a unified way, while benefitting from fair and optimal competition between direct and programmatic revenues.

The focus is now on extending the partnership with the co-development of custom solutions to meet the demands of addressable video advertising, on linear and on-demand streams, as well as on live streams.
