Funke Digital Opens Programmatic Architecture to All Publishers
Funke Digital has launched yieldHub, a programmatic advertising sales house that opens its proprietary technology platform to external publishers for the first time. The platform, developed over ten years, handles programmatic display and video advertising, including ad server integration, SSP connections, and ongoing revenue optimization. yieldHub is positioned as a managed service, not direct sales, and leverages Funke's market position for favorable terms. The Austrian company Molindo GmbH with its music portal Songtexte.com is the launch customer. This move contrasts with Hamburg-based Morgenpost's decision to abandon programmatic advertising.
Funke Expands Programmatic Sales, Becomes External Advertiser
Funke Mediengruppe, a German media group, is expanding its programmatic advertising sales operations. While it holds a 30% stake in and is a client of the major cross-media advertiser BCN, Funke has been running its own programmatic sales for some time. The article discusses how Funke is now also acting as an external marketer ('Fremdvermarkter'), selling advertising inventory for third parties through its in-house programmatic unit, Yieldhub. This move represents a strategic expansion beyond its own properties, positioning Funke as a competitive player in the German ad tech market. The expansion is significant as it creates potential competition or collaboration dynamics with its own partner BCN, reflecting a common trend of publishers diversifying revenue streams through programmatic capabilities.
