Partnerships
Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs)
Essential integrations with leading DSPs enable real-time bidding across billions of auctions daily, delivering global scale for Magnite across CTV, video and display. These partnerships ensure deep demand liquidity for every impression and support double-digit improvements in match and win rates via joint product roadmaps and SPO initiatives. Certification and interoperability testing with major DSPs (eg, DV360, The Trade Desk) maintain sub-100ms performance and high uptime.
Premium Publishers & Broadcasters
Direct supply partnerships with CTV streamers, AVOD/FAST channels and leading web/app publishers secure premium inventory as global CTV ad spend topped $24.1B in 2024, boosting programmatic yield. Co-development of ad formats and content signals with partners drives higher CPMs and viewability. Long-term agreements and preferred access underpin guaranteed demand and curated deals, while joint data and measurement pilots improve addressability and campaign outcomes.
Measurement & Brand Safety Providers
Alignment with verification vendors for viewability, fraud and brand suitability is central to Magnite’s buyer trust strategy, with 2024 industry data showing certified inventory can lift CPMs by 15–25%. Server-side integrations reduce client-side latency and preserve scale, often cutting bid-request overhead and improving fill in real-world deployments. Shared taxonomies and reporting drive cross-platform comparability, while certification unlocks premium demand and meets stricter advertiser requirements.
Identity, Data & Clean Room Partners
Partnerships with identity frameworks and data collaborators enable cookieless targeting across DSP and SSP workflows, supporting Magnite’s CTV-first inventory as US CTV ad spend was projected at about 24.7 billion USD in 2024 (eMarketer). Clean room links support privacy-safe audience activation and attribution, preserving first-party measurement. Deterministic and probabilistic graphs together raise match rates in logged-in and device-based CTV environments, while joint go-to-market packages deliver differentiated, compliant solutions.
- Identity: deterministic graphs for logged-in CTV
- Data: probabilistic enrichment to boost match rates
- Clean room: privacy-safe attribution
- GTM: packaged compliant offerings
Cloud, CDN & Device/OEM Ecosystem
Cloud and CDN partners provide low-latency ad delivery and elastic scaling, crucial as US CTV ad spend topped about $20B in 2024; Smart TV OEM and OS integrations improve device-level signals and ad rendering, boosting measurable impressions. Edge infrastructure cuts timeouts and raises fill rates for CTV, while co-optimizations across cloud, CDN and OEMs lower delivery costs and preserve performance SLAs.
- Low-latency delivery: cloud+CDN
- Device signal lift: Smart TV OEMs/OS
- Edge benefits: fewer timeouts, higher fill
- Cost-performance: co-optimization preserves SLAs
DSP, publisher and CDN partners drive CTV scale as 2024 ad spend hits $24.1B
Magnite’s DSP, publisher, identity, verification and CDN partners drive global scale across CTV, video and display, securing premium inventory as global CTV ad spend reached $24.1B in 2024.

Activities
Programmatic Exchange Operations
Operating a high-availability, low-latency ad exchange across formats and regions requires sustaining sub-100ms bid responses and industry-standard 99.95%+ uptime to meet publisher SLAs. Managing auctions, deal IDs, floors and throttling optimizes yield across billions of daily auctions and CTV/desktop/mobile inventory. Continuous bidder health checks, traffic quality filtering and automated incident response with real-time monitoring preserve revenue and trust.
Publisher Yield Optimization
Publisher yield optimization configures unified auctions, header bidding, and server-side integrations to maximize competition across channels, while A/B testing pricing rules, ad pods, and CTV ad-break sequencing drives measurable eCPM gains. Machine learning models predict eCPM and improve fill by optimizing floor prices and bid routing. Collaboration with publishers on inventory packaging and curated marketplaces increases yield and buyer demand amid continued double-digit CTV growth in 2024.
Demand Development & SPO
Structure SPO agreements with agencies and advertisers to secure curated supply and PMPs tied to outcome KPIs, leveraging programmatic channels that represented roughly 80% of US display ad spend in 2024 per eMarketer. Negotiate preferred access and transparent economics to improve path efficiency and lift win rates, reporting on fees, win-rate deltas and media quality.

Cost Structure
Cloud, CDN & Network Operations
Compute and storage line items include on‑demand vCPU-hours (typical market rates ~0.04–0.10 USD/vCPU‑hour in 2024) and S3‑class storage at ~0.023 USD/GB‑month, while data transfer and edge CDN egress average ~0.09 USD/GB, driving heavy bandwidth spend. Redundancy and observability (multiregion replication, monitoring, failover) are sized to meet 99.99% uptime SLAs. Regional scaling reduces latency and supports compliance with local data laws. Continuous rightsizing, caching and CDN tuning target unit cost reductions often in the 20–30% range.
R&D and Product Development
R&D invests heavily in auction tech, CTV feature development and ML models to optimize yield and latency, supporting Magnite’s platform that generated about $665 million revenue in 2023.
