Deutsche Telekom’s Alliance With Equativ Strengthens Advertisers’ Ability to Maximize the Addressable Advertising TV Landscape
Deutsche Telekom, majority owner of T-Mobile, today unveils its partnership with Equativ to shape the future of targetable TV advertising through programmatic marketing in Germany. By leveraging extensive reach in premium digital environments and precise targeting, the alliance empowers advertisers to minimize unnecessary expenditures while airing their commercials, while at the same time connecting with consumers in meaningful and captivating environments, effectively capturing audience interest and increasing customer engagement.
This strategy not only maximizes advertising efficiency but also enriches the overall customer journey by delivering pertinent messages precisely when and where they matter most. For Deutsche Telekom, advertising is one of the strategic business areas outside its core business in which it wants to grow in Germany. This is why MagentaTV, its versatile streaming service, will enable addressable TV on devices from mid-2024.
Together with Equativ, the leading independent ad tech platform, excelling in ad serving and server-side ad insertion, MagentaTV will advance programmatic, ad server-based TV advertising in Germany. As a first step, Equativ’s subsidiary Nowtilus, the Server-Side Ad Insertion Platform, will enable major TV broadcasters to market their own inventory programmatically and in a targeted manner on MagentaTV. The Serverside.ai solution enables Deutsche Telekom audience-based replacement of TV advertising in the MagentaTV offering. With innovative strength, a clear focus, and joint expertise, the Equativ and Deutsche Telekom teams are implementing ways to monetize high-quality inventory in linear TV, FAST, and live sports. Additionally, Equativ’s ad serving expertise will be used for Deutsche Telekom’s own inventories, such as MagentaSport.
To further expand this business in Germany, Deutsche Telekom has engaged its corporate venture unit T.Capital in the initiative as well as Equativ’s majority shareholder, private equity firm Bridgepoint, to help maximize the strategic value for all stakeholders involved.

Dr. Jörg Richartz, Vice President Sales & Marketing TV at Deutsche Telekom, assesses the partnership: “Addressable TV is a growth driver for MagentaTV outside our core business. Through our Magenta Ad Solutions, we will enable major broadcaster groups, such as RTL Deutschland and P7S1, to target their advertising customers’ TV spots on MagentaTV in such a way that they reach their target groups in the best possible way. Our partner Nowtilus is a central component in our technical infrastructure for addressable TV. The fact that we are now underpinning our commitment with a strategic investment in the parent company shows how convinced we are of their solutions.” He adds, “In the future, we would like to further intensify our relationship with Equativ. For our own offerings such as MagentaSport or the planned FAST channels on MagentaTV, we are currently examining how we can integrate and use their digital product range even more.”
“We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Deutsche Telekom and MagentaTV, revolutionizing programmatic TV advertising in Europe, especially in Germany. Leveraging our full CTV suite, we empower major TV broadcasters to market their inventory programmatically on MagentaTV.” stated Arnaud Créput, CEO at Equativ. He adds, “Committed to further innovation, this partnership opens up exciting opportunities for enhancing market-leading advertising and customer engagement products, to better support Deutsche Telekom as an advertiser through curated programmatic direct buying solutions. Additionally, it will reinforce our shared dedication to Utiq, positioning it as the premier privacy-safe advertising ID backbone in Europe. With Deutsche Telekom’s T.Capital and Bridgepoint on board, we’re poised to maximize strategic value, reinforcing our growth trajectory and unwavering commitment to the video and connected TV space.”

Jean-Baptiste Salvin, Partner at Bridgepoint, added: “With several investments in the Martech and Adtech industries, including MiQ and Equativ, Bridgepoint has demonstrated its strong interest and capacity to back the most innovative and successful operators in the digital programmatic ecosystem. We are delighted to welcome the investment of Deutsche Telekom within Equativ to develop together the future of Addressable TV.”
Alexander Helmke, Managing Director of T.Capital, takes a look at the added value resulting from this investment: “We are convinced that Equativ, as an independent and innovative provider of digital advertising solutions, is continuously strengthening its competitive position through technological expansion and targeted acquisitions. In addition, the company has a highly competent management team that has made product development and quality its core task. We see great potential both in the company itself and in MagentaTV’s cooperation with Equativ. We are therefore pleased to support the partnership with a strategic investment.”

Vistar Media Partners with PRODOOH to Bring Programmatic DOOH Advertising to Latin America
NEW YORK, April 16, 2024 — Vistar Media, the leading global provider of technology solutions for out-of-home (OOH) media, today announced a strategic partnership with PRODOOH, the first and largest programmatic OOH media company in Latin America, to bring Vistar’s advertising capabilities to the region. The PRODOOH team of local experts will leverage Vistar’s advanced technology solutions to develop programmatic OOH across Latin America, beginning in Mexico and Brazil, with plans to expand to Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru this spring.
Today, advertisers and media owners can benefit from the following Vistar platforms in Mexico and Brazil:
- Demand-side platform (DSP): Vistar’s DSP connects marketers to the largest network of ad space in digital out-of-home (DOOH). Built to power a programmatic DOOH ecosystem when Vistar first launched, today it’s used by marketers to plan campaigns that leverage hyper-contextual storytelling to capture a better kind of attention. With Vistar’s DSP, marketers across Latin America can now easily incorporate OOH into their omnichannel marketing strategies.
- Supply-side platform (SSP): Vistar’s SSP brings automation to physical ad space in order to make DOOH bidding and buying more efficient to marketers at scale. This connects media owners in Latin America to demand around the world through Vistar’s extensive network of buyers across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
“Teaming up with PRODOOH to bring OOH solutions to Latin America is an exciting stepping stone for Vistar in our broader global expansion plans,” said Eugenie Chen, SVP, Strategy & Partnerships at Vistar Media. “Our goal at Vistar is simple – help marketers leverage OOH’s unique ability to motivate and delight, while giving media owners the tools they need to manage their OOH inventory networks efficiently. This partnership aims to do just that, and we couldn’t be more excited to extend our global demand into Latin America, while offering advertising partners around the world more opportunities to reach their audiences in this growing market.”
“We understand there’s a greater need to drive growth of the OOH category across Latin America, and an opportunity to inform buyers and media owners of the immense potential programmatic technology can bring to this channel,” said Roberto L’hopital, CEO & Co-Founder at PRODOOH. “With that, it’s become crucial to align ourselves with partners who embody a shared vision for what OOH can do for advertisers, both locally and globally, and how media owners can benefit from opening up their unique inventory to more demand. We bring our partners a deep understanding of the advertising market in Latin America, while Vistar offers us an arsenal of tools and expertise designed to help brands and media owners get the best out of the channel – from campaign strategy to execution to ROI. I can’t think of a better partner than Vistar to embark on this journey with, and look forward to seeing what our two companies accomplish together as we aim to further the adoption of programmatic OOH across Latin America.”
“For us at JCDecaux, it is important to always be at the forefront of the OOH industry, constantly seeking to generate greater value for our clients. Part of this commitment includes forging new synergies that contribute to and enhance the entire experience of advertising in outdoor media. That is why we are deeply excited to announce the successful integration with Vistar Media through PRODOOH, providing greater flexibility and optimization for advertisers, as well as access to the highest quality digital inventory in the country,” said Fernando Garduño, Head of Programmatic at JCDecaux.

“Vistar and PRODOOH’s partnership has unlocked a whole new world of demand for us, and a seamless, central way to extend our premium inventory across campaigns both locally and around the world,” said Tony Azuri, CEO of Out of Home Digital (formerly known as Screencast). “Not only are we no longer limited to advertisers local to Latin America, but our robust inventory network is now connected to demand from global buyers who value pushing boundaries when it comes to their OOH campaigns – from dynamic capabilities, flexible buying experiences, and advanced targeting and measurement solutions – that ultimately deliver stronger, more impactful campaigns across our screens.”
Outdoor ad spend in Latin America is expected to increase to $1.59 billion USD in 2024, demonstrating that more advertisers are recognizing the value OOH media can bring to their wider marketing plans. With programmatic DOOH specifically, advertisers can tap into a new world of benefits at ease – from enhanced audience targeting, higher brand exposure, fast campaign activations, increased flexibility, evidence-based measurement and more.

Vistar Media Partners with Starlite Media to Manage Its CMS, Ad Server and SSP
The premier global supplier of technology solutions for out-of-home (OOH) media, Vistar Media, announced that Starlite Media, a high-end retail and digital out-of-home (DOOH) media network, has chosen to run its entire network on Vistar’s software. Through the expanded partnership, Vistar’s ad server, content management system (CMS), and supply side platform (SSP) will be used to seamlessly manage and operate Starlite’s inventory, unleashing its full potential.
Premium DOOH screens
Starlite’s network of over 500 high-end DOOH screens can be found in popular DMAs around the country and in busy shopping malls. Starlite will now leverage Vistar’s technological advantages to continue offering advertisers access to audiences at the point of purchase.
Ad Server
The Vistar Ad Server combines traditional loop-based and impression-based campaigns on one platform. Simultaneously, it automatically strikes a balance between all revenue streams, including programmatic, to guarantee Starlite fulfills its responsibilities and seizes all programmatic opportunities. Starlite is no longer concerned about missing out on demand or having to manually allot space for programmatic.
Cortex
Cortex is Vistar’s player software and device management platform. Vistar’s Ad Server can be seamlessly connected to Cortex. By using it, Starlite has simplified the process of onboarding new devices. Furthermore, it has greatly reduced the time and expense involved in expanding and managing their network.
SSP
Vistar’s SSP, which unites the biggest agencies, brands, and demand-side platforms (DSPs) to access its marketplace of DOOH inventory, is the biggest in the DOOH industry. Even though Starlite was already a partner with the SSP, using Vistar’s entire suite improves their relationship with the SSP. It will increase revenue, and make managing their programmatic business easier.

Mediation
While maximizing Starlite’s yield, Mediation connects Starlite to all of the main DOOH SSPs. When a Starlite ad spot becomes available, mediation simultaneously makes it available to Vistar, Place Exchange, Hivestack, and Broadsign, with the highest-paying advertiser being selected. By doing this, Starlite is guaranteed the chance to monetize each ad space at the best rate.
Insights on the DOOH market
The DOOH advertising market is anticipated to generate $ 19.03 billion in revenue in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.54% from 2024 to 2028. It will translate into a projected market volume of $23.61 billion by that time. The channel is still growing. So media owners need to make sure they have the right digital infrastructure in place to run inspiring and engaging OOH campaigns that draw in advertisers and keep them coming back for more.
Here’s what they said
Eric Lamb, SVP, Enterprise Solutions at Vistar Media said,
“Starlite’s network is a gateway to a premium audience at the point of purchase. We are delighted to deepen our partnership, bringing better technology and enhanced value to Starlite and to their advertisers.”

Perion’s intelligent HUB (iHUB), which links the company’s supply and demand assets, facilitates the connection between advertisers and consumers across major digital channels.

China’s DOOH market
The digital-out-of-home (DOOH) advertising landscape in China is dominated by local companies, many of which continue to operate in traditional ways. But now that programmatic DOOH transactions are supported by a more extensive infrastructure, the previously manual process has become a more efficient and integrated workflow.
This partnership represents a critical turning point in capitalizing on China’s dominance of the global DOOH market, which Statista projects will reach a value of $5.2 billion by 2024. 16 of the top DOOH media owners in China have already integrated with Hivestack’s platform. The latter offers access to 203 billion impressions across an unmatched network of over 93k sites and over a million screens, catering to a wide range of audiences and popular advertising seasons.

With the establishment of a global media network, the partnership with Hivestack is a key element of Way.io’s global expansion strategy. This collaboration will offer advertisers a range of innovative media advertising formats that are visually striking, along with new methods of data-driven intelligent ad placements.

Programmatic or Problematic? The Battle Against Made-for-Advertising Websites
The persistent issue of Made-for-Advertising (MFA) websites continues to cast a shadow over the digital advertising industry. These platforms, primarily designed to absorb advertising dollars, have prompted substantial concern and led to a multi-billion dollar spending spree by advertisers.
A recent industry report exposed the magnitude of this predicament, revealing that advertisers collectively poured billions into MFA websites. In response, ad-tech vendors have embarked on a mission to rectify the situation over the past few months. However, the question looms – is their concerted effort making a tangible impact?
The Made-for-Advertising Websites Saga
The saga of MFA websites is not a recent revelation; it has been a thorn in the side of digital advertising for quite some time. CNBC even created a fake website that plagiarized content, underscoring the lack of quality controls for advertisers and ad-tech partners.
This year, the Association of National Advertisers unveiled a damning two-part report. It exposed that approximately 15% of programmatic, open-web advertising dollars funneled into MFA websites, accumulating a staggering $10 billion in ad spend.
In response to the report’s first installment in June, major ad-tech vendors, including Pubmatic, Magnite, and OpenX, pledged to exclude MFA inventory from curated publisher lists sold to select advertisers. However, advertisers navigating the open web still face the challenge of sifting through MFA inventory.
Notably, both DoubleVerify and Integral AdScience, two industry giants specializing in verification and brand safety, introduced distinct detection tools. These tools aim to shield advertisers from the clutches of MFA inventory, representing a significant step in fortifying the digital advertising ecosystem.
While ad-tech vendors take measures to purge the digital realm of MFA websites, demand-side platforms, the representatives of advertisers, have maintained a conspicuous silence on the matter. This silence prompts contemplation about their stance and the role they play in mitigating the MFA challenge.
Important steps for advertisers
Here are five essential steps for advertisers to elevate their approach and drive efficiency gains:
- Active Stewardship: Advertisers must take the reins and actively steward their media investments. It’s time to move away from complete delegation to agencies and embrace a more hands-on role in ensuring the efficacy of every advertising dollar spent.
- Data Access Contracts: Establishing direct data access contracts with primary supply chain partners is crucial. Transparency and data access rights are inseparable. Advertisers should consider direct contracts with DSPs, SSPs, and Ad Verification vendors to maximize transparency and control over data.
- Agency Partnerships with Full Transparency: Construct agency partnerships that provide complete access to data and full transparency of websites purchased on media buys. Understanding the distinction between the agency acting as an agent or principal is vital. Advertisers need clarity on when agencies are obligated to act in their best interests and ensure contractual transparency.
- Quality Over Quantity: Prioritize quality media buys over chasing low-cost inventory. Cheap CPM buys may lead to non-viewable and non-measurable media purchases. Striking a balance between cost-effectiveness and ad quality—ensuring viewability, fraud-free interactions, and brand safety—is essential for sustainable advertising efforts.
- Exclusion of “Made for Advertising” Websites: Demand the exclusion of “Made for Advertising” (MFA) websites from media buys unless explicitly wanted or needed. Advertisers should assess if MFA sites align with their brand suitability standards for content and user experience. Clearly defining the tolerance for the inclusion of MFA inventory in campaigns is essential.
As the industry grapples with this pervasive issue, the battle against MFA websites unfolds, and the efficacy of these countermeasures remains to be seen. The shadows cast by MFA websites persist, challenging the industry to innovate and fortify its defenses in the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape.
