M|Buy Launches DSP for Local Ad Placements

M|Buy, the local media technology and services division of MediaBank, has announced the launch of a demand side platform (DSP) for buying and selling local advertising inventory nationwide.

M|Buy DSP will be a central console through which national advertisers can order buys on local TV, print, radio, out-of-home, digital, and other advertising. That console will list available local ad inventory throughout the US, along with demographic data from the US census, third-party viewership/readership/listener rate information, and interactive maps—enabling advertisers to target local media buys by relevant audience, media outlet, and geography.

"Currently, local media vendors don't know how to share inventory with major advertisers; meanwhile, local ad markets are extremely fragmented. The result is that it's extremely hard for national media buyers to make informed local advertising decisions, and local media vendors lose sales opportunities," says John Bauschard, COO of MediaBank. "M|Buy DSP enables local media vendors to easily share inventory with the biggest-budgeted national players, and it gives national media planners a full, targeted view of nationwide local media inventory. We're helping both sides of the marketplace."

The console will be interoperable with existing media management platforms including MediaBank O|X, and ultimately will be publicly accessible online as well.

The first phase of the platform addresses local newspapers and out-of-home vendors. Publishers wishing to sell inventory through M|Buy DSP can register inventory information through the M|Buy DSP webpage .
