VideoAmp – an adtech company providing measurement, data and software solutions for the advertising ecosystem to more efficiently and effectively allocate media spend – recently announced $150 million in Series G funding led by Vista Credit Partners, a subsidiary of Vista Equity Partners. The funding round will help accelerate VideoAmp’s growth and ability to empower content owners, advertisers and their media agencies with an advanced media currency solution that redefines the way media is valued, bought and sold across screens.
Vista Credit Partners’ investment in VideoAmp underscores the confidence and shift to large scale datasets – in place of panel-only based solutions, for media measurement, planning, optimization and currency. And with VideoAmp, advertisers can more effectively measure and optimize for fragmented, cross-screen audiences and provide more accurate attribution to business outcomes. Plus, VideoAmp’s data methodology joins various inputs like Set-Top Box data (STB) with Smart TV data from ACR providers, which undergo rigorous ingestion, cleansing, deduplicating and weighting processes to create a larger, more accurate dataset of nearly 40 million households and over 60 million devices across the U.S. With VideoAmp’s currency-grade data and solutions, clients can tap into advanced audiences and real-time insights to plan, optimize and measure reach and frequency across screens with greater accuracy and representation.
VideoAmp has seen incredible adoption for its measurement and currency solutions with 13 major linear and streaming publishers on board along with all major media holding companies and several independent agencies and 75+ advertisers. And this has resulted in hundreds of campaigns transacted on VideoAmp currency and putting the company on track to deliver billions of advertising spend in currency guaranteed campaigns for the 2023/2024 broadcast year.
KEY QUOTES:
“VideoAmp has seen explosive growth and significant customer adoption of our best-in-class measurement, optimization and planning tools for the buy-side.
