About Place Exchange

Our vision is to transform the entire OOH channel to be truly programmatic for buyers and sellers.

Our History

Place Exchange was founded in 2018 by industry leaders in both the Out of Home (OOH) space and the advertising technology space who believe in the power of OOH to deliver relevant and engaging experiences to consumers and the power of programmatic to deliver results for brands and publishers. While the industry had been talking for years about the potential of programmatic to grow the OOH channel, it still represented less than 1% of OOH spend at the time. That’s because every programmatic solution was approaching OOH as a silo, requiring unfamiliar integrations, separate workflows, and disconnected measurement from every other programmatic channel.

So we took a different approach. Rather than merely automating the traditional siloed process of buying OOH, we refactored the medium through a programmatic lens from the ground up. Our patented IP enables marketers to activate the unmatched scale, impact, and engagement of OOH advertising with the exact same workflows, data, and measurement as for other digital media—all within the same omnichannel DSPs they already use.

With a differentiated SSP-only solution that uniquely meets the needs of omnichannel digital buyers, the largest aggregation of premium OOH supply in the US, and the best team in the business, we quickly became one of the leading platforms in the space. We’ve outpaced an already fast-growing industry because we get excited by solving challenging problems, pursuing disruptive new ideas, and generating real impact. And we’re just getting started…
