Bright Mountain Media, Inc. Announces Strategic Agreement with Leading Ad Tech Company, Kubient, Inc.

BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESSWIRE / September 17, 2018 / Bright Mountain Media, Inc. (OTCQB: BMTM) and Kubient, Inc. today jointly announced that they have entered into a Master Services Agreement that is expected to enhance Bright Mountain Media’s position in the digital advertising space, while significantly expanding Kubient’s reach on Bright Mountain Media’s high quality owned and operated websites. The new agreement is expected to spark innovation and additional growth at both companies while driving scale in their respective businesses.

Kip Speyer, Chairman and CEO of Bright Mountain Media, said, “The relationship with Kubient represents a powerful opportunity for Bright Mountain Media to offer our brand advertisers the ability to actually prevent the purchase of fraudulent ad opportunities using machine learning in that critical window of time called the “bid-stream”. We have looked at the currently available fraud identification solutions on the market today and the fact that they are all using machine learning after our advertisers buy an impression. It is a real gamechanger for us to have the technology to stop the fraud before it happens rather than learn about it after the fact.”

Kubient will provide its programmatic technology platform for Bright Mountain Media to connect their growing network of websites with their current roster of large brand advertisers that want to buy video, display, and native advertising. Bright Mountain Media will expose Kubient to their roster of direct brand advertisers as well as exclusively use Kubient’s technology to power their programmatic media business. The agreement with Kubient will permit Bright Mountain Media to migrate its advertising segment from the platform it is currently using as well as the platform it had under development to the Kubient platform which management of Bright Mountain Media believes is a superior solution for the company’s near and long term needs.

“Today’s announcement with Bright Mountain Media is very exciting for us. Kip and his team have identified the huge potential in digital advertising and our technology is purpose-built to help them deliver the results his clients are demanding,” said Paul Roberts, Founder, and CEO of Kubient. “This agreement will help us further exhibit our industry-first technology that uses machine learning within the programmatic bid-stream to prevent, rather than identify ad fraud.”
