Adspace and Vistar Media celebrate three years of success on the forefront of the burgeoning digital place-based programmatic revolution

NEW YORK – June 15, 2016 – Adspace Mall Networks, the largest digital place-based video network in the country (Nielsen), is pioneering the digital out-of-home (DOOH) programmatic landscape. Through its continued partnership with Vistar Media, the only programmatic platform combining inventory from DOOH and mobile publishers to create a comprehensive, cross-screen network, Adspace is among the first in its category to embrace programmatic as an integral part of their sales strategy.

“As an early adopter of programmatic, Adspace recognizes the ease and efficiency that automation brings to DOOH and we anticipate the tremendous impact it will have on our space in the future,” states Peter Krieger, President and COO, Adspace Networks. “We look to Vistar’s innovative technology, bridging the digital and physical worlds, to complement our strength in connecting advertisers to our massive audience of consumers with the right message at the right time. Reaching these shoppers steps from the point-of-purchase has proven effective, increasing Retail traffic by an impressive 13.2%.”

Adspace’s monthly audience of 71 million hard to reach, on-the-go consumers, in 300+ of America’s best malls, has been available on Vistar’s platform since 2013. In this short time, the partnership has eclipsed all revenue growth expectations, with Adspace seeing an unprecedented average increase of 350% year-over-year. This type of programmatic success is indicative of the buying community’s desire to place meaningful video impressions at scale across multiple DOOH publishers’ inventory.

“Adspace has built one of the largest digital out-of-home networks in the world with scale equivalent to a large online publisher. A key factor in Adspace’s programmatic growth year-over-year, in addition to scale, is that the mall space is proving effective for our advertisers,” says Michael Provenzano, CEO and co-founder, Vistar Media. “Advertising in malls produces significant lifts in awareness, consideration and purchase intent among consumers, with particular success in the Retail, QSR & Travel categories.”
