Unique X, a global leader in cinema solutions, proudly announces a groundbreaking partnership with Place Exchange, a leading supply side platform (SSP) in programmatic out-of-home advertising. This collaboration introduces the first true programmatic advertising solution purpose-built for the cinema industry, revolutionizing the way cinema advertising is bought and sold.
The partnership combines Unique X’s renowned Advertising Accord platform and the advanced RosettaBridge Theatre Management System (TMS) with Place Exchange’s market-leading platform that offers unparalleled programmatic advertising capabilities and an extensive channel of demand through its integration with the world’s largest omnichannel demand-side platforms (DSPs), including Google’s DV360, The Trade Desk, Yahoo DSP and Viant, and the leading OOH DSPs, including AdQuick, Adomni, Atlas, OutMoove, and The Neuron. This enables Unique X’s exhibitors and cinema advertising agencies to unlock significant new revenue streams through seamless, real-time bidding for cinema inventory.
The programmatic solution supports Private Marketplace (PMP), Programmatic Guaranteed, and Open Auction deals, offering cinema advertisers unprecedented access to premium video inventory on the big screen, engaging captive moviegoing audiences at scale. Moreover, Advertising Accord’s integration with its existing direct sales workflow guarantees exhibitors retain complete control over their inventory, ensuring seamless and optimized utilization of both programmatic and direct-sold campaigns.
Unique X’s development investment in RosettaBridge TMS has further aligned cinema advertising with established standards of Connected TV (CTV) and digital ecosystems, positioning it uniquely in the market. Advertising Accord provides the flexibility to add further SSP and DSP integrations depending on market requirements.
“This partnership marks a significant step forward for cinema advertising, and Place Exchange is thrilled to partner with Unique X to expand the premium, high-attention video environment of cinema into the programmatic ecosystem in a way that delivers control for media owners and meaningful scale for advertisers,” said Nick Bennett, Chief Growth Officer at Place Exchange. Phil Morris, Chief Commercial Officer at Unique X added “We are excited to work with Place Exchange to introduce our cinema network to the true potential of programmatic advertising, benefiting exhibitors, advertisers, and moviegoers alike.”
