Our take
Due to the rise in mobile and smart devices in recent years, the way in which advertisement publishers must format their ads is changing. A key example of this is TV, advertisements that present immediate calls to action within a Connected TV user interface, but publishing ads in such a format is currently inaccessible to most publishers.
Magnite provides a sell-side omnichannel advertisement platform for publishers, focused on facilitating the selling of advertising on all formats including CTV, mobile, desktop, and audio. In addition to facilitating the buying and selling of omnichannel ads, the company also provides a real-time ad performance dashboard, data protection and compliance tools, and insights into buying and selling patterns.
Whilst other omnichannel advertisement platforms present significant competition to the company, Magnite stands out by providing an end-to-end marketplace for the buying, selling, management, and analysis of ads. Furthermore, by focussing its efforts on cutting-edge formats such as CTV, the company shows great potential to futureproof itself within the advertisement industry.

Company values
- See the Big Picture - Every journey starts with how you frame it, and in a complex world, it can be tempting to fall back on familiar perspectives and habits. At Magnite, we break this pattern by stepping back to view not just the challenge in front of us, but the situation or system that surrounds it. Seeing the Big Picture isn’t about overanalysis, it’s about striking a balance between context and speed to make our work more strategic and impactful
- Raise the Bar - We’re passionate about what we do, and every day we strive for greatness. At Magnite, greatness isn’t about achieving perfection, it’s about doing better today than we did yesterday. Aspiring to beat our own expectations (as well as others’) is what keeps us growing as people, as professionals, and as a business
- Empower Others - Magnite doesn’t own inventory, and we don’t buy or sell ads. We empower our clients with tools and expertise so they can do these things. In other words, we succeed by helping others succeed. Empowering Others is also how we win inside the company. As Magnites, we look for opportunities to uplift one another because there’s nothing we can’t do better and faster as a team
- Own the Results - Whether we succeed, fail, or land somewhere in between, we stand by our work. That means giving credit where credit is due, taking responsibility for things that could have gone better, and putting our egos aside to absorb constructive feedback. This is how we convert experiences to learnings, and how we Raise the Bar the next time around
