RhythmOne : Achieves #3 Ranking on Pixalate’s Global Seller Trust Index

London, England and San Francisco, CA. - 2 August 2016 - RhythmOne ('1R' or 'the Company') today announces that it ranked #3 in both the US and Internationally on Pixalate's June 2016 Global Seller Trust Index™. The Pixalate Global Seller Trust Index, published by Pixalate, Inc., provides an independent rating standard for programmatic advertising that measures inventory quality across such criteria as viewability, reach, validity of traffic types and malware.

RhythmOne's unified programmatic platform, RhythmMax, has grown exponentially since its launch last September, now ranking #5 in the US by Comscore and #11 globally by Quantcast. This volume growth has been coupled with a deep dedication to brand safety. Integrated into its programmatic platform is RhythmOne's proprietary brand safety filtering technology, RhythmGuard, which is designed to eliminate suspicious and underperforming traffic before it reaches the Company's marketplace - enhancing ROI for advertisers and maximizing yield for quality publisher partners. RhythmOne's inventory spans connected devices and includes ad formats that range from IAB standard to custom ad units for display, rich media, video web and in-app inventory, providing a one-stop-shop for advertisers to execute true cross-screen, multi-format campaigns.

'The Pixalate Global Seller Trust Index is the only trusted source for advertisers, brands and investors to identify the top ad platforms to partner with,' commented Jalal Nasir, CEO, Pixalate. 'We congratulate RhythmOne on having achieved top tier rankings in the US and internationally.'

'RhythmOne aims to build the most efficient and effective marketplace for digital advertising and content distribution, that is respectful of consumer choice, impactful for advertisers and sustainable for publishers,' said S.

As our unified programmatic platform grows, RhythmOne will continue to play a leadership role in defining and representing emerging ad quality standards and requirements.'
