PubMatic and Amnet launch France’s first agentic campaign
PubMatic and trading desk Amnet launched what they describe as the first Agentic advertising campaign in France for client INTERBEV, using the Claude LLM as the natural-language interface. The video campaign targets cooking enthusiasts and consumers of responsibly sourced, French-produced meat and prioritises high video completion rates. It was executed via PubMatic’s AgenticOS — an operating system that connects AI agents across planning, activation, optimisation and measurement — and, according to PubMatic, reduced campaign setup time by about 80%. The activation used a direct bidder native to the sell side and an MCP/AdCP-enabled connection to access inventory across CTV, mobile and online video. PubMatic framed the work as a follow-up to a prior AgenticOS campaign in the Netherlands with Abovo Maxlead.
Demonstrates practical use of LLM-driven 'agentic' workflows to automate programmatic campaign setup and activation, potentially accelerating AI adoption in programmatic media buying and influencing operational standards across ad tech.

PubMatic Compresses Streaming Supply Chain with AgenticOS
PubMatic and Dentsu-owned trading desk Amnet activated an agentic advertising campaign in France using PubMatic's AgenticOS, which processes a natural-language prompt via Anthropic's Claude LLM and routed across CTV, mobile and online video. PubMatic says the France activation cut campaign setup time by 80%; earlier activations in the U.S. and Netherlands precede this rollout. AgenticOS uses MCP/AdCP interfaces and integrates with FreeWheel's MCP server and the IAB Tech Lab's Agent Registry to connect agencies directly to sell-side inventory, eliminating a required DSP intermediary. PubMatic reports more than 250 agentic deals transacted since January 2026 and cites early campaign supply-chain cost reductions and eCPM improvements (self-reported).
