SALT LAKE CITY and LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Placemedia, the fully automated supply-side platform for television, and Rubicon Project (NYSE: RUBI), which operates one of the largest advertising marketplaces in the world, today announced a new strategic partnership broadening access to programmatic television advertising demand.
