Hudson MX Announces Successful Launch of Local Media Buying Platform

Media executive JT Batson and a team of seasoned sell-side, buy-side, linear, and digital veterans today announced a new company, Hudson MX, and its flagship product BuyerAssistTM. A fully customizable, cloud-based platform, BuyerAssistTM complements the skillset, market expertise, and institutional knowledge of local media buyers, empowering them to deliver superior client results in record time.

Already, BuyerAssist™ is being used by the world's largest agencies to streamline their local media buying processes. First introduced commercially in September of 2018 in closed beta, the Company has onboarded buyers at scale at the top fifteen media agencies in the United States (according to RECMA) and buys have been completed in all 210 markets for nearly three hundred national advertisers. In 2019, 700+ buyers have used the platform to transact more than $2 billion in local TV ad buys across all broadcasters.

"Our early success demonstrates that agencies are committed to investing in software that positions their buyers for the future of local TV," said Hudson MX CEO and Founder JT Batson. "Hudson MX started because agencies are demanding a solution—we've just tried to listen. Q1 volume doubled that of Q4 and the back half of this year should double the front. Our strong agency relationships and customizable technology allowed us to quickly and quietly gain an industry foothold in the months since the product was introduced. Knowing firsthand how much this was needed, I wanted to invest all of our time and resources into building a great product versus wasting time talking about it." Read related news here.

"Speed and efficiency are key factors in evolving the local space," said Nancy Larkin, SVP, Managing Director Local Television, Horizon Media. "More and more is being asked of us by clients. We are working with Hudson MX because they are helping us evolve our business to meet those needs and to help set us up to be successful in the future."

"Hudson MX has brought a platform to market that is evolving the industry, bringing greater efficiency to the local investment process for Initiative and UM" according to Kathy Doyle, EVP, Local Investment, MAGNA. "By providing our buyers with modern software, local is nearing parity with our colleagues in the digital investment space, bringing greater speed, accuracy and accountability. We look forward to increased automation, as the sell-side partners continue to join the innovation game this summer." Be alert to the latest news.

To that end, Hudson MX has also launched AgencyCloud™, its comprehensive suite of APIs for broadcasters and their technology and data partners. AgencyCloud™ enables frictionless and error-free communication with agencies in a way that keeps buyers and sellers in full control of the transaction. Today, Hudson MX announces WideOrbit (https://bit.ly/2wJuFsc) as the first technology partner to integrate into the AgencyCloud™. Batson continued, "When I was the Chief Revenue Officer of a local broadcaster, I learned firsthand that one of the biggest things holding back local broadcast was the lack of modern buy-side tools. I only wish this solution had existed then—the impact would have been in the tens of millions of dollars a year range."

The unique career path of JT Batson inspired the founding framework for Hudson MX. He's had a seat on all sides of the media buying table—programmatic pioneer, CRO of a billion dollar local broadcast company, President of Digital for Donovan Data Systems/Mediaocean, VC at LUMA Capital Partners, and Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Accel and Greylock Partners. From each unique vantage point he was able to observe the damage caused by roadblocks in the ecosystem that over time had become perceived as permanent obstructions.

JT Batson concluded: "Both the buy-side and sell-side are under pressure to show the value of local TV. To do so, buyers need greater efficiency without sacrificing compliance and quality. The largest broadcasters recognize that buyers of their medium need tools as sophisticated as those used by digital buyers in order to deliver the full value of local TV. They also appreciate the fact that the team at Hudson MX has the collective background required to build next generation tools that respect the nuances of the local TV market. The Broadcaster's TIP initiative shows the broad industry support for investing in the future of the medium."

Founding Principles

About Hudson MX
By creating modern software that empowers the local buyer of the future, Hudson MX is leveling the playing field between local TV buyers and their digital media peers. In 2019 its BuyerAssistTM platform was used to process $2 billion of local media buys for 30 leading agencies in 210 markets, servicing 294 national advertisers. The world's most respected media agencies and sellers are partnering with the Company to bring the process of local TV buying into the 21st Century for the benefit of today's advertisers. Hudson MX is looking to build on its initial success and expand its offerings by recruiting the best and brightest for its New York and Atlanta dual headquarters.

Hedge Funds’ Four-Month Run in the Black Ends in May with Industry Down 1.47% According to Backstop BarclayHedge

Global trade disputes and oil price downturns took a toll on hedge funds in May, bringing an end to the industry's four-month run of positive returns. For the month, the hedge fund industry was down 1.47%, according to the Barclay Hedge Fund Index compiled by BarclayHedge, a division of Backstop Solutions.

By comparison, the S&P 500 Total Return Index was down 6.35% for the month. Year-to-date through the end of May, hedge funds returned 5.23%, while the S&P was up 10.59% on the year.

"Hopeful signs from U.S.-China trade talks vanished in the face of heightened tariffs and proved to be a drag on equity markets in May," said Sol Waksman, president of BarclayHedge. "The trade war and the accompanying decrease in oil prices further weighed down hedge fund returns." Be alert to read related news.

While the overall industry was down in May, there were gainers among hedge fund sectors. Leading the way was the Option Strategies Index, up 1.93% for the month, followed by the Emerging Markets Eastern Europe Index and the Emerging Markets Eastern European Equities Index, both up 1.01% in May.

"Eastern Europe remains a strong economic story," said Waksman. "Economic expansion appears to be continuing in Poland, while first quarter growth in Romania exceeded projections and Hungary's first quarter growth was the strongest in almost 20 years."

Among the other sectors posting positive numbers in May were the Emerging Markets Global Fixed Income Index, up 0.74%, and the European Equities Index, with a 0.46% return for the month.

Far more sectors were in the red for May than in the black. The Technology Index was down 4.40% for the month, the Emerging Markets Global Equities Index, down 4.28%, the Emerging Markets Asian Equities Index, down 4.18% in May, and the Equity Long Bias Index dropped 3.47%.

Strong Eastern European economic performance showed up again in year-to-date returns.

New Study Reveals 16 Percent of U.S. Adults Have Tried Virtual Reality

ARtillery Intelligence, in partnership with Thrive Analytics, today released a new report: VR Usage & Consumer Attitudes, Wave III. Working closely with Thrive Analytics' Virtual Reality Monitor™, ARtillery Intelligence authored survey questions and a narrative report to examine the findings.

Highlights include the fact that 16 percent of consumers have used VR, up from 11 percent in last year's corresponding study. More importantly, they're using it often: more 35 percent of respondents use VR at least monthly. This is a telling indication of VR's potential, given that active use is a key success factor tied to revenue and user retention.

VR users are also highly satisfied: 67 percent reported extreme or moderate satisfaction. However it's not all good news: Non-VR users report relatively low interest in VR ownership – 27 percent, down from 31 percent in 2018. This disparity between user satisfaction and non-user disinterest represents key marketing and logistical challenges for VR.

"VR's immersive format is a double-edged sword," said Mike Boland, Chief Analyst of ARtillery Intelligence. "It's captivating users for it's revolutionary jump from traditional content formats. But you have to see it to believe it, and it's hard to convey that experience to non-users through traditional marketing. This will be alleviated over time through more cultural acclimation to VR and lowering access friction through things like standalone headsets."

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-giant-barbecue-battle-washingtons_15.html

Standalone VR – embodied by Oculus Quest, Oculus Go and other emerging headsets -- don't require a separate and costly PC and also eschew cumbersome wires and the need to set up roomscale positional tracking systems. Though still early (this survey was fielded before Quest's market launch), standalone VR addresses many consumer objections evident in this survey and could represent an important inflection point for the technology.

Virtual Reality Monitor applies Thrive Analytics' acumen and time-tested practices in survey research. The AR survey in this this wave (Wave III) included a sample of 3,162 U.S. adults. Furthermore, three completed waves of research now enable robust longitudinal analysis and trend evaluation. Thrive Analytics and ARtillery Intelligence will continue to analyze the AR & VR market opportunities through the lens of consumer sentiments.

"AR and VR are in initial adoption stages," said Thrive Analytics managing partner Jason Peaslee. "This means user behavior and affinities are still developing, just as we saw in early stages of past tech adoption cycles. AR & VR have the ability to transform the way people work, connect, and learn, so we'll continue to track the consumer adoption that informs product and business strategies."
