Cynopsis Special Report - Evolving the Media Advertising Ecosystem: The Time is Now
Sponsored content from Matrix as published on Cynopsis.com
The media marketplace is complicated, and it’s only getting more so as the industry embraces the strongest ad market on recent record. Broadcast, network, MVPD, radio and digital companies need the most state-of-the-art tools to help them sell smarter and faster than ever before.
A dive into the just-concluded 2021 Upfront reveals a shift away from the once-dominant primetime programming block, a fervent embrace of ad-supported streaming services and a continued bend toward digital and OTT/streaming—where traditional media distributors are still the new kids on the block.
Delivering What Matrix Clients Need
The Matrix Advisory Xchange, or MAX, was formed for and with Matrix customers in a true collaborative fashion to better understand their current and future media workflow needs, the evolving landscape of media ad selling, and what data and analytics are needed in order to be successful and competitive today and tomorrow.
The MAX Mission
MAX’s mission is to empower Matrix with knowledge so it can build products that help its customers to compete and win. Matrix seeks to grow and build its products to meet the evolving needs of the media industry, and with MAX, it can do just that.
