Cath Waller, Managing Director, Advertising at Immediate and Chair of PPA Magnetic, said: “Atria is a hugely positive step forward for the advertising community. By bringing together the UK’s most trusted editorial brands on a single platform, we’re making it easier for agencies and advertisers to access guaranteed quality, brand-safe environments at scale – at a time where it’s never been more important. This innovation gives advertisers a smarter, more effective and transparent way to connect with our premium audiences”.
It has been welcomed by the industry:
Chris Turner, Managing Partner, Head of Digital Investment EssenceMediacom North, and Programmatic Services Team EssenceMediacom UK, commented: “Any initiative that helps agencies and advertisers access trusted, high-quality, brand safe publisher environments and audiences at scale, is exactly what we should all strive to deliver for our clients. At a time when quality and trust are rightly top priorities, this can only be a positive step for the industry.”
Michelle Sarpong, Head of Activation, the7Stars, added: “Bringing multiple publishers together through one marketplace is a great initiative. This will make it simpler for agencies and advertisers to plan with confidence, ensuring quality, transparency, and scale in one place. In a market where context and credibility matter more than ever, having easier access to premium, brand-safe inventory from trusted editorial environments is a real advantage. This kind of initiative is a win for everyone.”
Charlotte Taylor, Head of Non-AV Trading, PMX Publicis, said “Magazine brands have always been built on trust and credibility, qualities that matter more than ever. For advertisers, having access to responsible, high-quality environments means confidence that their campaigns are landing in the right context and making a real impact.”
