Pontiac Intelligence | November 08, 2022
Pontiac Intelligence, a modern and transparent programmatic advertising platform, announced the launch of a proprietary Connected TV (CTV) Bidder at the inaugural Pontiac Summit. Pontiac unveiled the newest ad buying technology product that enables advertisers of all sizes and budgets to purchase OTT and CTV across the connected TV landscape via Pontiac’s direct pipes.
Pontiac is empowering users to buy commercials on ad supported streaming services such as Discovery, Xumo, FuboTV, TubiTV, SlingTV, and others.
“The major DSPs have built battleships to handle the amount of traffic which comes from display, native, etc. CTV doesn’t need a battleship. It needs a speedboat, and our proprietary bidder is a speedboat that will be both more efficient and cost effective,” says Pontiac CEO, Keith Gooberman.

Upsolver SQLake is a platform for building data pipelines that ingest and combine real-time events with batch data sources for up-to-the-minute analytics. It provides ground-breaking time-to-value, since any SQL user can build a pipeline simply by writing a query. SQLake automates the pipeline engineering tasks that create severe development bottlenecks – chores such as orchestration, file system optimization and infrastructure scaling.

Beyond making data engineers 10X more productive it enables self-service for data users who know SQL – such as data scientists, analysts, ad/marketing ops personnel, product managers and account managers.
One benefit of migrating or building advertising and marketing workloads on the most widely adopted cloud is the number of integrations and distribution channels connecting shared data with flexibility and interoperability. Whether you are seeking third party data or tools for better managing first party data, there are both AWS and third-party solutions offered in the AWS Data Exchange, AWS Marketplace, along with the largest community of AWS Partner Network (APN) members, including Upsolver.
