Place Exchange Partners with Rockbot to Expand Programmatic Video Out of Home

May 12, 2022

Place Exchange adds Rockbot’s array of placed-based TV screens to its Digital Out of Home offering, enabling TV advertisers to extend audience reach.

New York, NY (May 12, 2022) Place Exchange, the leading supply-side platform for programmatic Out of Home (OOH) media, announced a partnership with Rockbot, a pioneer in the media-for-business industry, providing multi-channel video streaming content for brick-and-mortar businesses.

Rockbot’s expansive and growing Digital OOH (DOOH) network is designed to bring highly-relevant TV to consumers in contextually relevant places. Rockbot TV screens—programmed with content from top network providers—reach consumers in gyms, airports, salons, spas, and retail locations across the US. The partnership with Place Exchange will enhance marketers’ ability to extend their video advertising campaigns to additional DOOH inventory via the same demand side platforms (DSPs) used to run programmatic video campaigns in online, mobile, social, and CTV.

“With the rise of DOOH, it is inevitable that CTV and DOOH will merge into a growth vertical,” commented Henry Embleton, Head of Advertising at Rockbot. “Partnering with Place Exchange will enable more CTV & DOOH advertisers to capture a growing audience of unique, hard-to-reach consumers for our advertising partners.”

“We’ve seen programmatic video OOH spending increase dramatically in the past year,” commented Nick Bennett, SVP of Partnerships at Place Exchange. “As demand for high-quality video inventory continues to grow, we are thrilled to offer advertisers access to Rockbot inventory.”
