Xandr and Turner Sports Team Up on Sponsorship Marketplace

Xandr and Turner Sports Team Up on Sponsorship Marketplace 

Partnership includes specific MLB targeting tool

Turner Sports and Xandr are taking the wraps off a new sports sponsorship marketplace aimed at meeting the growing demand for premium sports video content.

The marketplace offers advertisers a single place to buy specific audiences over premium live and on-demand video across all of Turner Sports’ owned and operated digital channels and properties, including Bleacher Report, NBA.com, March Madness Live and NCAA.com.

Advertisers can use 300 sports-focused audience traits provided by Xandr to target audiences in the new marketplace. Those traits are a subset of Xandr Audience Segments, more than 2,500 audience segments broken out by interest, intent, lifestyle and viewership that are built out of parent company AT&T’s first-party viewership data as well as additional information and data from both Xandr and WarnerMedia.
