NEW YORK – FOX Television Stations (FTS) has partnered with ITN Holdings to license its ProVantageX (PVX) platform, offering the industry a state-of-the-art, end-to-end advertising technology platform for both traditional and programmatic business solutions. PVX provides FTS buyers with significant operational efficiencies, through optimization and automation, producing the time, tools, and analytics to architect larger, multi-level deals that drive advertising results.
ProVantageX advances functions and connectivity for buyers in an end-to-end platform, enabling FTS to receive and respond more quickly to requests, simplify transactions, coordinate schedule maintenance and streamline the workflows for agencies across all FTS stations and their sales representatives. Within PVX deal screens, buyers negotiate with FTS using a centralized source of automated audience estimates, generated instantaneously through algorithms across any combination of days, times or programs.
