PANEL DISCUSSION powered by Magnite Look Back to Move Forward: Advancing Automation of OTT Advertising in 2022
In India digital video viewing is taking off - particularly on mobile devices. Over the past year, the pandemic has fuelled digital consumption with Indians watching more streamed video content than live TV. Despite this, programmatic advertising across OTT content is relatively nascent with direct deals between media owners and media buyers still popular. With programmatic bringing many benefits to advertising campaigns including automation, flexibility and precision, how can the industry work together to advance programmatic trading across OTT content in India? In this session, Magnite’s Asia Managing Director, Gavin Buxton, will bring together industry leaders to look back on the trends that have shaped OTT consumption and advertising this year, and explore the opportunities for media owners, media agencies and advertisers in 2022.
