SAN FRANCISCO, September 26, 2019 — In 1999, WideOrbit was founded with a single vision: Make it easier to buy and sell advertising. Through constant improvement and a commitment to customer satisfaction, WideOrbit has become the largest sell-side processor of premium advertising in the world.

“WideOrbit has talented, hard-working employees and great customers focused on solving the pain in the transactional process of buying and selling media” said Eric R. Mathewson, Founder and CEO of WideOrbit.

Twenty years ago, WideOrbit was founded and a small team of employees built the core of WideOrbit’s end-to-end platform, WO Traffic. After implementing their first TV station in 2001, the team continued to learn, adapt, and evolve, bringing network, radio, programmatic and digital solutions to the rapidly shifting media landscape.

Today, WideOrbit has a broad suite of software focused on connecting advertising and audiences. WideOrbit software is installed in more than 5,600 TV stations, radio stations, and cable networks. With two decades of experience to back it up, WideOrbit continues to be the trusted industry leader in digital and linear media. Managing $37+ billion advertising dollars and serving 8+ billion digital ad impressions annually, WideOrbit has the critical mass and momentum to continue to lead the forefront of future advertising innovation.
