Magnite, Inc.MGNI
Communication Services

Runs sell-side software that helps streaming and digital publishers manage inventory and sell ads through automated auctions and direct deals. Revenue usually comes from a share of ad spend, while CTV inventory and demand are concentrated among relatively few publishers and demand-side platforms.

Automates digital advertising sales across connected TV and the broader DV+ channel. SpringServe combines CTV ad serving, mediation, and programmatic selling; DV+ covers mobile, desktop, online video, display, and audio. Demand Manager manages header bidding, while ClearLine lets advertisers and agencies access and curate inventory directly. Revenue generally comes from a share of advertising spend, with fixed per-impression or monthly fees used for some services.

Operates worldwide, with established teams in North America, Europe, and Australia and a developing presence in Asia and South America. Its infrastructure processes high-volume auctions, filters unlikely bids, and gives publishers controls for pricing, yield, ad quality, and TV-style commercial breaks. Results depend on inventory from a limited group of CTV sellers, demand routed through a concentrated set of demand-side platforms, and compliance with expanding privacy rules.
