Alex Bogusky, the erstwhile poster
child for Madison Avenue creativity, is returning to the business in the first meaningful way since leaving MDC Partners’ CP+B five years ago, and this time he has set his sights on the
programmatic video advertising business. Bogusky’s new venture, called Visibl, is described as a “self-serve programmatic platform that allows small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to
run hyper-targeted video ad campaigns across major sites such as CNN, and The New York Times for as little as $50.”
The platform, which has been in beta testing since May, gets its
general release today.
"We democratized video advertising by providing everyone the technology, access and reach that giant advertisers have and gave them the ability to do it
without million-dollar budgets or advanced math degrees," Bogusky said in a statement, adding that the platform is integrated with dozens of “highly trusted ad networks” such as Google,
Facebook, AppNexus and BrightRoll. Visibl gives its customers access to 98% of global programmatic audiences across both desktop and mobile devices.
The platform integrates data from blue-chip
DMPs such as BlueKai and Experian and the announcement says it has “full transparency” to track campaign success
