  • Mediaocean Buys Flashtalking For A Reported $500 Million

    AdExchanger reports Mediaocean will acquire independent global ad server Flashtalking to create what it described as a neutral tech platform with a combined $200 billion in annual media spend.

Mediaocean will acquire independent global ad server Flashtalking to create what it described as a neutral tech platform with a combined $200 billion in annual media spend.

It will pay $500 million to snap up the New York-based company, which brings in annual revenue of between $100 and $150 million, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Mediaocean provides advertising workflow software that powers $70 billion in television advertising in the US, but it’s actively pushing into the programmatic arena. The deal with Flashtalking comes exactly a year after it acquired programmatic buying platform 4C for $200 million. 4C has integrations with Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Amazon and others – placing Mediaocean more squarely in the programmatic arena.

The acquisition, expected to close in the third quarter of this year, will integrate Flashtalking’s ad serving, creative, identity and verification capabilities with Mediaocean’s media planning and buying across desktop, mobile web, in-app and CTV/OTT. The combined platform will represent more than one trillion monthly ad impressions.

Mediaocean and Flashtalking previously partnered in 2018 to stitch together ad serving data with media buying.

As CTV  takes on some of the attributes of digital media’s walled gardens, the companies emphasized the independence of their combined tech platform as an alternative to Big Tech providers, such as Google’s ad server.

“Our platform is not compromised by media ownership so we can focus solely on driving outcomes for marketers and their agency partners,” Wise said in a news release.

Flashtalking has also been bolstering its value proposition in recent years.

In February it acquired Israel-based ad fraud detection specialist Protected Media. That deal marked Flashtalking’s fourth M&A deal over the past several years, which included dynamic creative optimization company Spongecell and attribution analytics provider Encore Media Metrics.

Mediaocean’s deal with Flashtalking comes during a resurgence in ad tech IPOs and active M&A. Mediaocean CEO Bill Wise told AdExchanger in April that “ad tech at scale with a CTV angle is now worth billions,” and that Wall Street has finally caught on.
