Hemnet Selects PubMatic to Exclusively Power its Programmatic Advertising

PubMatic, the marketing automation software company for publishers, today announced it has been selected by Hemnet, one of the largest publishers in Sweden, to exclusively power the publisher’s programmatic advertising strategy across its desktop and mobile inventory. This is Hemnet’s first entry into the programmatic space, as it responds to the significant demand from advertisers and media agencies in the Swedish market for automated advertising.

After carefully vetting several different SSPs, Hemnet chose PubMatic as its exclusive provider. Hemnet will work with PubMatic to monetize the significant programmatic opportunity that exists in the Swedish market. In fact, PubMatic’s Q4 2015 Quarterly Mobile Index (QMI) revealed that monetized mobile impression volume in EMEA was up 82 per cent in Q4 2015, year-over-year. Advertisers and buyers will benefit significantly from the scale and valuable audience of this new high-quality inventory.

“We decided to expand our advertising operations into programmatic because many of our customers have expressed interest in these solutions, and the technology is mature. We chose PubMatic because they are a large, stable company with a very strong local presence and expertise,” said Christian Viklund, Director, Commercial Analysis at Hemnet.

“As the fifth largest site in Sweden, we are extremely excited to be able to meet our customers’ demand fully. We look forward to working with our customers and PubMatic to develop the best solutions in programmatic buying,” said Sandra Ohlsson, VP sales at Hemnet.

Jonas Olsen, Country Manager Nordics at PubMatic added: “We are thrilled to be Hemnet’s first and only programmatic partner. As the publishing industry becomes more sophisticated with programmatic advertising strategies, we are delighted to be able to provide another world-class publisher with our one platform solution, and our demand partners with new high-quality, transparent inventory. We look forward to coupling our technology with Hemnet’s extensive scale and high quality inventory across its desktop and mobile properties.”
