SEATTLE and NEW YORK, Feb. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Placements.io, the revenue management system for publishers, today announced that Sky Media, the advertising sales arm of Sky, is the most recent company to select the Revenue Management System as their replacement for Google DSM. Sky, Europe’s leading entertainment company, will use the Placements.io platform to grow and manage their online media sales, revenue, operations, execution and reporting in new, modern OMS infrastructure.
“We are excited to be working with a rising strategic business partner, to take advantage of their frequent feature releases and product upgrades to connect our digital portfolio,” said Elizabeth Corbin, Head of Advanced Advertising, at Sky Media. “Placements.io offers the next generation in revenue management software, which endeavors to improve our advertising business workflow, insights and performance.”
Placements.io is gathering an impressive stable of new clients as Google completes its deprecation of DSM in Q2 2019. In order to quickly and accurately onboard the influx of new clients, Placements.io has developed a proprietary migration tool and process, which has proven to be a dramatic improvement over the market standard. The company is reinventing order management, which was originally created for direct digital display media. Placements.io approach works natively with programmatic, across channels like mobile, video, advanced TV and more. A more open design, and more fluid, real-time interfaces, publishers are significantly more informed and empowered than with other platforms. Placements.io features a powerful, modern product catalog, allowing publishers to build products more quickly and layer on targeting in a way that improves pricing and preserves discounting.
