Beeyond Media: Programmatic Digital Out of Home Ad Demand-Side Platform Closes $10 Million

By Dan Anderson • Aug 21, 2023

Beeyond Media – a leading programmatic Digital Out of Home (DOOH) advertising demand-side platform (DSP) – recently announced the closing of a $10 million seed round led by Ricardo Uribe of RAU Capital and Beeyond Media board member. This latest funding round will be used to scale the Beeyond business in the United States and Latin America and help Beeyond Media expand its vast connected inventory in other markets throughout 2024. This latest round of funding brings total dollars raised to $12.5 million.

Beeyond Media is offering a solution that enhances campaign reach with its unique approach to DOOH that merges programmatic technology with a layer of curated services to maximize the results and return on ad spend of large campaigns for brands. And the technology company excels in delivering high-quality out-of-home (OOH) advertising across a wide range of digital screens for maximum advertising impact. And this seed investment will play a vital role in financing ongoing campaigns and enabling the business to grow its team in the US. In 2022 Beeyond Media’s sales increased 12X and the business projects a 10X increase from the previous year.

Beeyond Media has an inventory of more than 600,000 devices and screens including billboards, street furniture, airport media and more spanning across 17 countries. And the company is on a mission to become the premier global DOOH company in a growing market. More recently, the company announced a strategic partnership with Place Exchange, a supply-side platform (SSP) for programmatic OOH, extending Beeyond Media’s extensive DOOH inventory. Earlier this year, the business launched its audience segmentation tool, Beeyond TrueReach, which sources data and information from leading providers, arming clients with the insights to execute highly effective and targeted DOOH campaigns.
