Videoplaza is a European-based company that builds a video advertising platform designed to maximize IP-delivered video advertising revenues for broadcasters, publishers, and ad networks. Its core product, the Karbon platform, enables video ad serving and management across multiple devices including PCs, smartphones, tablets, IPTV, connected TVs, and game consoles, helping media companies monetize their video content effectively[1][2][3].
Founded in 2005, Videoplaza quickly gained traction by serving large broadcasters and media publishers across Europe and beyond, with clients such as M6, Canal+, SBS, RTL, Sony Entertainment, and TV4. The company was supported early on by Innovacom and was acquired by Telstra/Ooyala in 2014, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory[1][2].
