Livewrapped expands in Norway – Media giant Amedia increases revenue by 61%

This spring, Amedia, Norway's largest publisher of local news, signed an agreement with Livewrapped. In April, Amedia completed the transition to Livewrapped's technology and has since observed a 61% increase in advertising revenue through Header Bidding.

Since transitioning to Livewrapped's platform, Amedia has gained access to a range of new features to optimize its ad inventory, including simplified optimization of ad visibility, reducing the need to involve developers as frequently. Easier management and better optimization of their ad inventory have significantly increased Amedia’s advertising revenue. A comparison between March 1-19 (before the platform switch) and May 1-19 (after the platform switch) shows a 61% increase in ad revenue via Header Bidding.

We especially appreciate that the platform could be developed to meet our needs, and the increase in ad revenue has far exceeded our expectations," said JonathanRoss Lord Brænde, Director of Platform and Ad Technology at Amedia.

"The agreement with Amedia is a significant step in our expansion strategy. Amedia's decision to enter into a partnership with Livewrapped, combined with the sensational revenue increase following the platform change, highlights the strength of our tech. Being able to deliver these results for a large, credible, and complex publisher like Amedia confirms the effectiveness of our onboarding process and is further proof that Livewrapped is optimized for fast and smooth scaling. We see this as an important step toward strengthening our position internationally," said Patrik Sandberg, Acting CEO of VO2.
