BLUE ANT MEDIA ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH OBOXMEDIA

5 December 2016

Oboxmedia’s network of premium publishers positions Blue Ant Media as a digital media powerhouse in English and French Canada

Deal includes the second largest premium content network in Quebec, giving Blue Ant Media access to 64% of the province’s online audience

Blue Ant Media’s expanded digital offering is now #1 in reaching gamers across multiple platforms

(Toronto, ON, December 5, 2016) – Blue Ant Media announced today that it has entered into a new strategic relationship with Quebec-based premium publisher Oboxmedia. Blue Ant Media will represent and manage advertising sales for Oboxmedia’s network and its portfolio of brands nationally. The addition of Oboxmedia’s publishers boosts Blue Ant Media’s reach to over 13 million unduplicated monthly unique visitors*. The strategic alliance gives the company direct access to 44% of Canada’s digital audience and positions it among the country’s largest digital media companies. 

Oboxmedia’s portfolio includes some of the world’s most visited platforms, including massive multi-player gaming leader Roblox as well as Rovio Entertainment’s prestigious portfolio of Angry Birds apps. The network of sites and apps dramatically expands Blue Ant Media’s existing gaming network, which now delivers a combined number of 6 million monthly Canadian views across desktop, mobile and YouTube, many in the highly coveted 18 to 34 demographic. The deal also positions the company as the #1 platform to reach kids under 18 on desktop. 

As part of the agreement, Blue Ant Media will represent Oboxmedia’s French inventory in English Canada, which reaches over 64% of Quebec’s digital audience through Oboxmedia’s eight owned and operated publications including Nightlife.ca, HollywoodPQ and Ton Petit Look, as well as more than 30 popular French publications including Trois fois par jour, Le Cahier and Pratico-Pratiques.

“Our strategic alliance with Oboxmedia bolsters Blue Ant Media’s position as a major player in the digital media space,” said Jamie Schouela, EVP, Canadian Networks, Blue Ant Media. “The deal significantly increases our reach with highly engaged millennials and gives us a strong foothold in Quebec for brands looking to engage in the French-language market.” 

“Blue Ant Media and Oboxmedia are founded on similar values, which is to create highly engaging, multiple-platform content,” said Erick Vadeboncoeur, CEO, Oboxmedia. “The deal will help us accelerate our sales with a team that understands how to deliver fully integrated content and media.”
