I have met with Srikanth and the wider team at multiple industry gatherings across the globe, and we are delighted to finally make our partnership official. The future looks bright for programmatic DOOH in our region.” said Sean Gadsby, Head of Programmatic, BackLite Media commenting on the partnership.
