Heineken USA Names TubeMogul Exclusive Video Advertising Partner
The premium beer importer centralizes video advertising for Heineken, Dos Equis and other brands on TubeMogul's software
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Feb. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today TubeMogul, a leading enterprise software company for digital branding, announced a partnership with Heineken USA, the nation's leading upscale beer importer. Through the partnership, Heineken USA will leverage TubeMogul's programmatic software platform to streamline their domestic video planning, buying and ad serving, with potential to later expand to additional international markets.
The deal follows Heineken's recent shift of 25% of their annual advertising budget to digital mediums. The company also plans to dedicate over 10% of its total budget to programmatic channels in 2015. Heineken USA will retain MediaVest, their U.S. agency of record, to execute media buys through TubeMogul's software.
Heineken and MediaVest selected TubeMogul from multiple vendors following an extensive search and evaluation period. Criteria that influenced the decision-making process included the platform's intuition and ease of use, existing technical integrations with data and a robust product roadmap.
"Throughout our selection process, TubeMogul's platform stood out for its buy-side orientation and transparency into how every video ad dollar gets spent," said Ron Amram, Senior Media Director at Heineken USA. "TubeMogul's position as an independent platform focused exclusively on advertisers was a key driver in cementing our partnership. Working with TubeMogul lets us buy for effect – we can marry data-driven targeting with the scale of TV and tie the results back to awareness, adoption and sales."
"Heineken represents some of the most iconic brands in the world and is a longstanding innovator in beer advertising," said Brett Wilson, CEO and Co-Founder of TubeMogul. "We look forward to working with them to help make their advertising more transparent and accountable."
