The SPACESTATION purchases southernx<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"The-SpaceStation-and-SouthernX\"SouthernX will be fully integrated into The SpaceStation as of 1 November to form a wholly publisher owned private media marketplace within Media24. This move will mean that The SpaceStation will be the only media sales house with expertise in both premium (including native) and programmatic, with the breadth and depth of inventory to back it up. Gustav Goosen, CEO of The SpaceStation says: \u201cWe are thrilled to have SouthernX on board and cannot wait to see the benefits of our range of programmatic offers roll out for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new division will be headed up by SouthernX\u2019s Managing Director Paula Raubenheimer who will become Head of Programmatic at The SpaceStation. Says Raubenheimer: \u201cThis integration is a strong reflection of the growing importance of programmatic in South Africa\u2019s digital media space.\u00a0 For South Africa\u2019s largest publisher to have made this move so that they can be certain that programmatic is 100% integrated into their existing sales teams, is a telling acknowledgement of the value of programmatic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gustav also notes that this move takes their competitive offering and the value they provide to clients to the next level: \u201cWe have always strongly believed in the effectiveness of premium ad campaigns.\u00a0 Now we are able to offer even more – a simpler solution that is a single point of contact for both premium and programmatic (RTB and Premium Direct) ad buys, giving clients strong, engaging and strategic campaigns that use the best of both approaches across a network of SA\u2019s largest digital publishers, largely driven by 24.com at Media24.\u201d<\/p>\n

The integration means that The SpaceStation\u2019s programmatic offering will be even more agnostic in terms of both technology and buyers. SouthernX essentially becomes The SpaceStation\u2019s platform agnostic Sell-Side Platform (SSP) able to plug into App Nexus, Google Ad Exchange and others in the near future.<\/p>\n

As one of the first media exchange market places in South Africa, SouthernX have always been at the forefront of the technology in SA\u2019s digital media arena.\u00a0 \u201cCoupling our formidable experience with The SpaceStation\u2019s world-class inventory will see programmatic level up and the industry move into a whole new chapter,\u201d adds Paula.<\/p>\n
