Tremor Video is changing its name to Telaria as it focuses on the sell-side of the programmatic video software business.
The new name, derived from the Greek name for the sandals worn by the messenger of the Greek gods, is effective immediately. The company’s stock will trade under the New York Stock Exchange ticker symbol TLRA effective Sept. 26.
Tremor sold its demand-side platform business to Taptica in August for $50 million.
