Day 2 in #Cannes was another one for the books—focused on the future of the agency, mobile app and creator content on CTV. 🌴
☕️ We kicked off the morning hosting a PubMatic & Untapped Growth Breakfast exploring a pivotal moment: with the agency model is at an inflection point, how does agentic technology actually change the way agencies organize and build client relationships? Andy Bryant represented PubMatic in a candid conversation with Untapped Growth's Brendan Clifford, @levelagencymktg's Patrick Van Gorder, and @ButlerTill's Manny Puentes —leaders actively building the agency model of tomorrow. The energy in the room was electric.
🎙️ Abbie Reichner sat down with @Unity for the Cannes Executive Video Series, spotlighting the unique opportunity mobile gaming and interactive apps represent in the new agentic era. A space we're incredibly excited about.
📰 We were thrilled to see PubMatic's Creator Marketplace get a shoutout in @Digiday's Cannes roundup! Creator Marketplace is the first programmatic marketplace to connect creator-led media businesses with advertiser demand, celebrating the convergence of a new era of CTV publishers and a new generation of buyers focused on agentic platforms. https://t.co/M6fRiQnyvg
🤝 In between, it was another full day of meetings with clients and partners, digging into what's next.
Stay tuned for more from PubMatic @ #Cannes!

🆕 Case Study: Level Agency ran a direct head-to-head test: PubMatic's AgenticOS versus an incumbent DSP, running simultaneously for their client, with access to a premium data and inventory ecosystem, billions of omnichannel impressions, and GPU-supported infrastructure.
The result? 53% more efficient CPMs, 2X more impressions per dollar, and retargeting that scaled in days rather than months. Read the full case study: https://t.co/UGnpDM5qxG

Day 1 @ #CannesLions is a wrap and what a day it was! 🌴✨
The Croisette was buzzing with energy, big ideas, and the conversations that matter most in advertising right now.

Level Agency put AgenticOS to the test. Dollar-for-dollar against legacy programmatic buying. Identical budgets, identical objectives.
We delivered.
From retargeting that scaled in days to stronger economics, performance, and workflow efficiencies, the results were compelling enough that Level expanded the program mid-flight — taking a campaign they would have run exclusively on social media for a hyper-local, date-specific event and bringing it to the open internet.

As the industry gathers at #Cannes next week, we're particularly excited about conversations with partners like Untapped Growth who are fundamentally reimagining how agencies buy, plan, and grow.
In our latest Executive Dialogues video, PubMatic's Rajeev Goel and Untapped Growth's Ryan Ricci on what changes when agentic buying moves from automation to simplification: agencies consolidating from 15+ partners down to 4, reclaiming time from tactical work to drive strategic growth, and compressing the value chain.
The future of the agency isn't faster media buying. It's strategic partnership. Watch here: https://t.co/UugrFW8kgb

Last week we brought our Spanish business community together in Madrid for one of our most forward-thinking PubAcademy events to date!
With agentic AI taking centre stage, our lineup of industry experts delivered sharp, thought-provoking insights into the forces reshaping the media landscape. This wasn't a polished keynote moment, it was a candid, high-energy conversation about power, accountability, and what the future of the open internet really looks like.
The big question on everyone's mind: Are we watching an evolution unfold, or has the revolution already begun? And could what's happening right now be something even more transformative than either?
• We pushed the conversation further with some of the questions the industry can no longer afford to avoid:
• Who holds the reins in the age of agentic AI?
• How do we earn trust when technology consistently outpaces the organizations trying to adopt it?
• And can ad tech step up to generate genuine value, not just faster processes?
It was fantastic to welcome new clients, partners, and an outstanding group of speakers who brought fresh, bold perspectives on where media is headed.
A huge thank‑you to all our incredible speakers for being part of the conversation: Our hosts Miguel Fernandez-Gil, Cristian Coccia, Lucia Guarino, Pablo Morales, and Almudena San Mateo Arenal, and to our guest speakers: Natalia Papiol, Cristina Peñaloza Morales, WPP Media's Mireia Romero, PROGRAMMATIC SPAIN's Mikel Lekaroz, dentsu's Miguel Blanc, &beyond's Mariana Pedemonte, IKI Group's Rafael Martinez, and Havas' Germán Becker for your contribution to making the event a success with inspiring discussions.
Special thanks to the fantastic PubMatic team for making #PubAcademy Madrid such an inspiring and thought‑provoking event!

The creator economy is moving into the open internet. With partners Holmes Media and @FreeWheel, PubMatic is proud to launch the Creator Marketplace, the first programmatic front door for independent creator-led media on CTV.
As performance-driven buyers entering agentic and programmatic buying seek the same audience engagement and performance they've found in walled gardens, independent creators are amassing massive, passionate audiences and scaling beyond walled gardens onto CTV. The Creator Marketplace is an early mover connecting these two forces.
Brands can now reach creator audiences with precision, measurement, engaging formats, and the ease of agentic buying. Learn more here: https://t.co/UnJyiCSkz3
We are thrilled to partner with @GracenoteData to bring verified content intelligence to PubMatic's platform, starting with our award-winning AI Live Sports Marketplace.
Live TV moments are where culture is made. Ask anyone who watched the NBA Championship or is tuning into the current FIFA World Cup. For brands, these are the most important moments to be in front of the right audience at the right time.
With Gracenote's data, PubMatic's moment-based curation now enables advertisers to buy against peak engagement moments at scale and agentically, transforming how premium live sports inventory delivers performance. https://t.co/7juXD6Ds3R
Last week, PubMatic's Franck Lewkowicz represented PubMatic at Minted's "Future of Trading: AI, Business Impact and Digital Sovereignty," joining an expert panel alongside Olivier Lavecot from https://t.co/MouiORKrjZ & UDECAM, and Paul Ripart from Prisma Media, to discuss Agentic Protocols: Towards the End of Media Trading as We Know It?
AI now plays an increasingly important role in our industry, and PubMatic has placed this topic at the heart of our product innovations to bring greater simplicity, transparency, performance and control to agencies, brands and publishers, exploring concrete and unprecedented use cases along the way.
The future of trading isn't coming. It's already here.
