Magnite Inc

Company Overview
History and Background
Magnite Inc. was formed in 2020 through the merger of Rubicon Project (founded in 2007) and Telaria (founded as Tremor Video in 2005). The company provides advertising technology solutions.
Core Business Areas
- Sell-Side Platform (SSP): Magnite's core offering is a sell-side platform that enables publishers and media owners to manage and monetize their ad inventory across various formats and channels.
- Connected TV (CTV): Magnite has a strong focus on CTV advertising, offering solutions for publishers and advertisers to transact in this rapidly growing market.
- Digital Video: Magnite facilitates the buying and selling of digital video advertising across desktop, mobile, and CTV environments.
Leadership and Structure
Michael Barrett serves as the CEO. The company has a board of directors and operates with a typical corporate structure including executive, sales, engineering and financial teams.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- SSP: Magnite's SSP allows publishers to optimize yield and connect with a wide range of buyers. Market share data varies by region and format but Magnite is considered to be in the top 3 or 4 SSPs for digital advertising, with a strong presence in CTV. Competitors include Google Ad Manager, PubMatic, OpenX, and Index Exchange. Market share is in constant flux, difficult to get a precise current calculation, and varies considerably by channel and geography. Industry estimates suggest in CTV they could be in the ~20% range.
- CTV Platform: Magnite's CTV platform facilitates programmatic advertising on connected TV devices. Again, accurate market share data is difficult to obtain and varies by region, but Magnite has been a leader in CTV advertising. Competitors include Google Ad Manager, The Trade Desk, and other DSPs and SSPs that support CTV advertising.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The digital advertising industry is experiencing continued growth, driven by the increasing adoption of connected devices and the shift of advertising budgets from traditional to digital channels. The CTV market is a particularly strong growth area.
Positioning
Magnite is positioned as an independent sell-side platform focused on providing publishers with advanced technology and control over their inventory. The company differentiates itself through its focus on CTV and its commitment to transparency and neutrality.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The global digital advertising market is projected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars. The portion addressable to Magnite, as a SSP focused on CTV and video, is estimated to be a substantial subset (tens of billions) of that total. Magnite's positioning within this TAM is focused on premium publishers and CTV, aiming to capture a significant portion of ad spend in those areas.
