Smart AdServer Partners with Groupe Cerise to Offer Buyers Programmatic Branding Campaigns

PARIS – February 11, 2016 – Smart AdServer, a full-stack ad server and SSP, improves its premium programmatic solution by adding a new feature that enables publishers to execute roadblocks in programmatic deals.

Programmatic buyers can now deliver their campaigns to several ad placements on the same page, ensuring 100% share of voice and enabling new branding opportunities through the programmatic channel. Thanks to Smart AdServer, Groupe Cerise (Gentside, Ohmymag) currently offers programmatic buyers mobile takeovers that give advertisers exclusivity on all the formats of a page.

The platform currently offers programmatic buyers everything they need to run branding campaigns:

– Highly visible ad placements and the ability to execute roadblocks

– Rich media, video and native ad formats

– Guaranteed inventory volume

“These types of premium ad formats complement our existing mobile programmatic offer,” said Kaoutar Benazzi, Sales Director of Groupe Cerise. “We can now offer ad hoc integrations to our advertisers on Gentside and Ohmymag Media.”

“Thanks to our full-stack platform, which combines an ad server and SSP, we can once again bring our publishers features that are unique to the market,” said Cyrille Geffray, CEO of Smart AdServer. “Branding and programmatic can be combined easily to offer new communication and revenue opportunities.”
