Agency supply path optimization deals are going deeper.

Magnite revenue will mostly come from CTV. Once the SpotX deal closes, Magnite’s revenue will be 65% CTV, transforming it into a video-first SSP. In its Q4, Magnite reported $15.3 million in CTV revenue.

Magnite is beta testing a product that enables programmatic and reserved CTV inventory to compete with each other, dubbed Unified Decisioning, that will operate with a different pricing model. Demand Manager, which operates with a SaaS-like model, will double revenue in 2021, to a projected $8 million from $4 million in 2020.
