Minute Media and Protected Media Collaborate

Minute Media, a leading global technology and digital publishing platform, and Protected Media, an anti-fraud innovator, are announcing a wide-reaching collaboration to ensure validated high-quality traffic for advertisers across the company’s publishing assets and technology users. Protected Media’s cybersecurity-based ad fraud solution enables Minute Media to create transparency and trust between advertisers and publishers that use its rich video content and platform. Straddling both the supply and demand sides of the advertising supply chain, Protected Media’s cross-chain solution puts Minute Media in a unique position to solve ad fraud at the source.

Minute Media has been steadily growing as a sports video content giant and an infrastructure provider for the publishing ecosystem, powering in excess of a billion video streams each month in North America alone alongside its tier one publishers. But with scale comes responsibility, and now, with video’s rising attractiveness to both publishers and advertisers, Minute Media is upping the ante to ensure that both their partners enjoy the direct and indirect advantages of fraud-free, validated traffic.
