BOSTON, July 12, 2017 -- DataXu, a leading provider of programmatic marketing solutions, and Teads, the inventor of outstream video and the No. 1 video advertising marketplace in the world, today announced a partnership declaring DataXu as the first DSP in market certified to purchase Teads Studio video units programmatically.

Now, DataXu brand and agency customers have access to new video ad formats from Teads, compatible with existing creative assets, that can be delivered across a range of devices and reported on in real-time via DataXu’s easy-to-use self-service user interface. The access consists of Teads high-impact video inventory across its portfolio of inRead formats, including: Scroller, 360, Skin, Live and Swing.

“By allowing advertisers to buy Teads Studio video units programmatically, we’re opening up a new opportunity to incorporate these custom units into a variety of media plans,” said Emi Gal, CEO of Teads Studio and Group CMO. “We’re excited to partner with DataXu to bring programmatic access to our interactive video inventory to our joint customers.”

“At DataXu, we’re constantly evaluating how we can provide the best experience possible to our customers. The combination of these high-impact creative units from Teads with our programmatic expertise represents our latest value-add,” said Rory Edwards, VP of Business Development, DataXu. “Our best-in-class DSP is made even better with this unique partnership and access to this ultra-premium inventory.”
