The two will be used in tandem to offer clients addressable digital audio solutions with a combined commercial reach of over three million users in premium and brand safe environments, adding further depth to an already market-leading offering.

This scaled development gives buyers the opportunity to rapidly gain reach of targeted consumers wherever they are. InStream represents the future of audio, available to advertisers now.”

SCA’s InStream product has been in the beta stage for a number of months to ensure that the technology and commercial offering are ready for both clients and listeners.
