“As we were looking for a more efficient and transparent way to monetize our mobile inventory, Demand Manager Mobile has proven to be the ideal solution,” said Adam Sadur, Head of Programmatic at SmartNews. “The Prebid SDK was easy to implement and as a Prebid.org co-founder, the Magnite team always provided meaningful and exceptional support and guidance throughout the process. The robust reporting features allow us to make decisions based on clear, transparent reporting and we’ve seen a meaningful improvement to our bottom line as a result.”
