Varick Media Management Launches Programmatic Native Advertising Product

Partnerships With Nativo, TripleLift and StackAdapt Provide Targeted Ad Capabilities at Scale Across a Variety of Native Formats


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 15, 2014) - Digital advertisers are increasingly looking for new ways to capture consumers' attention and leverage the latest targeting and ad-buying technologies. To capitalize on the rapid growth in demand for immersive, engaging native ad placements, Varick Media Management (VMM) today launched an innovative programmatic native advertising suite, powered by partnerships with leading native ad providers Nativo, TripleLift and StackAdapt.

When leveraged alongside VMM's programmatic capabilities, these partnerships make native advertising at scale both accessible and cost effective, leading marketers into a new programmatic realm.

"Programmatic technology has shifted the ad buying landscape, making it easier for advertisers to deliver targeted buys that reach the most qualified consumers," said Paul Rostkowski, President of Varick Media Management. "At the same time, native ad placements are giving marketers deeper levels of engagement and high return on investment. By aligning our programmatic technology with three innovative companies that are pushing the capabilities of native ad delivery, we're giving marketers more tools to deliver high-performing online campaigns."

VMM can apply data learnings from other display campaigns to deliver better native executions on behalf of its advertiser clients. Each partner's direct relationships with premium publishers ensures that VMM's clients will run ads that integrate coherently and seamlessly into publishers' pages across a variety of formats, including in-feed ads, search ads and promoted listings.

"After learning about VMM's native offering, we utilized the strategy for a tune-in client to grow their online presence beyond standard assets and decrease the hurdles between exposure and education," said Assembly Integrated Communications Supervisor Brian O'Hare. "The placement received high response rates and helped a new series premiere achieve higher ratings than some of their other seasoned shows."

The partnership gives VMM access to each company's unique approach to native advertising.

Nativo offers true native content executions at scale, where branded content is syndicated to native editorial placements across more than 260 premium publishers, delivering more than 2 billion native ad impressions per month. VMM clients will be able to leverage Nativo's extensive reach, automated performance optimization, and advanced content engagement analytics for their branded content initiatives. Nativo will enable VMM clients to leverage a variety of brand content assets including long and short-form editorial, images, videos, and custom embeds.

TripleLift offers VMM the capability to amplify brand's visual content such as images and video programmatically. TripleLift has direct relationships with premium publishers and eye-catching creative capabilities that seamlessly adapt to publishers' unique design and layout. These visual native ads lend themselves to image focused brands in luxury, fashion, travel, auto home goods and more.

StackAdapt provides in-feed or tile ad inventory, integrating images with text information. The company has programmatic access to thousands of publishers' inventory.

Together, all three partners provide enough reach to deliver native advertising at scale, making it a valuable and cost-effective extension of programmatic ad buying.
