The new capability is made available via technology from Innovid.
Innovid’s software development kit (SDK) powers personalized and interactive experiences in CTV through direct integrations across over 50 publisher apps.
“The ability to leverage first and third-party data across CTV is critical, however, it’s only one piece of the puzzle," said Todd Randak, senior VP of strategy and partnerships at Magnite. “We are working directly with Innovid to take CTV to the next level, enabling publishers to provide enriching ad experiences to complement their premium inventory.”
