Smith’s experience as a publisher is also considerable, with operations, product and marketing leadership roles at VICE Media and SpinMedia, where he delivered key innovations and revenue growth for both companies. Smith also founded and led XLR8R, one of the world’s most well-respected and forward-thinking music publications.
“In addition to working with some of the industry’s biggest publishers, Andrew has built a publishing business from the ground up,” added Wotring. “His experiences will enable us to continue to enhance DV Publisher Suite, which is seeing strong adoption across the publisher industry.”
DV Publisher Suite reduces the administrative overhead required to manage third-party revenue and measurement data through actionable inventory insights and automated optimization tools that identify and resolve delivery issues. These functions are combined across all of a publisher’s inventory — whether direct-sold or programmatic, empowering publishers to streamline operations and maximize revenue.
“DV is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between advertisers and publishers,” says Smith. “Publishers are a vital component of our global society, offering necessary information, perspectives and entertainment. DV recognizes the importance of these contributions, and strives to support publishers by partnering to create successful advertising strategies.”
DV Publisher Suite is currently used by top publishers like Atlantic Media, Bloomberg, Conde Nast, Digital Trends Media Group, Fortune, Remedy Health Media, and others.
