TubeMogul is a publicly traded company whose main product is an enterprise software platform for digital video advertising.[3] TubeMogul’s programmatic software platform leverages real-time bidding (RTB) technology to help major brands, advertising agencies, trading desks, and publishers advertise to global audiences using online video across multiple devices.[4]

The company filed an S-1 form with the SEC on March 26, 2014 and went public on July 18, 2014, offering its shares on the (NASDAQ: TUBE) Global Select Market.[3][5][6][7] TubeMogul is headquartered in Emeryville, California and has global offices located in Chicago, Detroit, Kiev, New York, London, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Paris, São Paulo, Singapore, Shanghai, Sydney, Toronto, and Tokyo.[8][9]

Financing

TubeMogul received its initial funding after winning the Lester Center’s Business Plan Competition while co-founders John Hughes and Brett Wilson were studying at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business in 2007.[10] The company received seed funding from NetService Ventures later that same year.[11][12] They also received angel funding from Roger Ehrenberg of IA Capital in early 2008.[13] In February 2008, they received $3 million in Series A funding led by Trinity Ventures.[14] In October 2008, they acquired Illuminex, a video analytics company founded by Jason Lopatecki and Adam Rose, for an undisclosed amount.[15][16] They raised a combined $10 million in their Series B round in March 2009, led by Foundation Capital.[17] In December 2012 they raised $28 million in the first tranche of their Series C, led by Northgate Capital. The second tranche of the Series C was led by SingTel Innov8, corporate venture capital arm of the SingTel Group, along with Cross Creek Capital, for $10 million dollars in May 2013.[18]

IPO

TubeMogul filed its S-1 form with the SEC on March 26, 2014.[5][6]

On July 18, 2014 TubeMogul became a publicly traded company.[3] They made 6.3 million shares available to investors at $7 per share to raise a total of $43.8 million in their initial offering.[19][20] The company listed with the NASDAQ Global Select Market using the ticker symbol "TUBE".[21] TubeMogul became the first and currently the only enterprise software company offering programmatic digital brand advertising to be publicly traded.[22]

Company History

TubeMogul was originally founded as a cross-platform online video analytics tool in 2007.[23] Video producers uploaded content through TubeMogul, which would then distribute and track performance across video sharing sites.[24] In 2010, TubeMogul launched Playtime, an online video ad network, to help advertisers deliver ads to their target audience.[25] Playtime differentiated itself from other online ad networks by its self-serve aspect as well as the level of transparency it provided. In 2011, TubeMogul combined the Playtime ad network with the video syndication platform to effectively become a demand-side platform (DSP) for brand advertisers.[8] TubeMogul’s DSP aggregates multiple inventory sources, including advertising exchanges, supply-side platforms and advertising networks, allowing advertisers to integrate pre-negotiated deals with publishers. In 2012, TubeMogul introduced its BrandSafe technology, which ensured that advertisements did not appear alongside objectionable content or run in small video players.[26] In 2013, TubeMogul launched BrandPoint, which allows marketers to execute digital video buys on a gross rating point (GRP) basis, traditionally used by TV advertisers to measure a campaign’s effectiveness.[27] Unlike programmatic solutions that cater to both the buy-side (advertisers) and sell-side (publishers) as well as various marketing objectives (direct response and branding), TubeMogul specializes in brand, or video, advertising and is solely aligned with advertisers.[28]

Industry Initiatives

Open Video Viewability (OpenVV)

In May 2013, TubeMogul and several other advertising technology vendors formed the Open Video View (OpenVV) consortium to help facilitate the adoption of a viewability standard for online video advertising.[29] OpenVV is an open-source code that provides marketers verification that their ad was actually seen by human eyes and reasons for non-viewability.[30] TubeMogul founded the initiative along with video technology vendors BrightRoll, Innovid, SpotXChange, and LiveRail; current members include Nielsen, comScore, TrustE, and VivaKi.[29]

Fraud/Fake Pre-Roll

In 2012, TubeMogul launched fakepreroll.com to raise awareness about video ads that were shown in inventory normally reserved for display advertisements, oftentimes without the marketer’s knowledge.[31] The site was taken down after several companies sent TubeMogul cease-and-desist orders.

Botnet Detection

In 2014, TubeMogul reported the existence of three botnets, responsible for defrauding advertisers for a potential $10 million each month.[32][33]

IPG Internship

In March 2014, IPG Mediabrands and TubeMogul announced the “Ad-Tech Apprenticeship,” a one-year intensive training program designed to give college graduates a holistic view of the digital advertising industry.[34][35]
