Magnite is the largest independent supply-side platform, or SSP, where digital publishers and platforms offer their advertising inventory for advertisers to buy. Magnite receives a portion of the total ad dollars sold on its platform, called the take rate.
By emphasizing connected television monetization, Magnite could benefit disproportionately from streaming platforms' growing use of programmatic advertising to generate returns on content investment.

Artificial intelligence is disrupting how humans consume content on the web - pushing down the value of ad inventory and creating a headwind to the revenue Magnite derives from the website advertising.
Magnite is a supply-side advertising platform that provides technology and yield management solutions to content publishers, enabling them to monetize their digital advertising inventory. Magnite receives a percentage of all advertising inventory that it sells. 43% of Magnite’s revenue is derived from connected television, or CTV, streaming platforms, 40% from mobile applications, and the remainder from general websites. Beyond the typical monetization responsibilities inherent to an SSP, Magnite also provides upstream advertising servers to CTV publishers, allowing them to have granular control over direct-sold, programmatic guaranteed, and open-auction logic. Magnite competes with other independent SSPs, supply path optimization solutions, and closed ecosystems like Meta.
