Paris, France, Montreal, Canada - March 3, 2022 -  Hivestack, the leading global programmatic digital out of home (DOOH) ad tech company today announced a partnership in France with Clear Channel Europe’s programmatic buying platform, LaunchPAD. Through this new partnership, Clear Channel will integrate with Hivestack as its first DOOH SSP partner. The partnership will provide advertisers with a more efficient and precise  way to buy their DOOH inventory programmatically via Private Marketplace (PMP) deals through  Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs), including the Hivestack DSP.

This partnership will enable advertisers to target audiences at unprecedented scale through the Hivestack DSP across Clear Channel’s programmatically enabled DOOH screens across France. Clear Channel has an exciting vision for programmatic DOOH in France and Hivestack is thrilled to be embarking on this journey with them."

The partnership enables programmatic buying of Clear Channel’s unmatched array of premium media across France for the first time. Moreover, this enables digital marketers to easily plan, activate and measure across Clear Channel France’s DOOH screens, alongside other programmatic channels like digital and mobile.

The partnership will enable Clear Channel France to generate a new stream of programmatic revenue from global DOOH buyers that use the Hivestack DSP as well as revenue from buyers that use omni-channel DSPs, integrated with the Hivestack SSP.
