Introducing WO Fusion: Next-generation, cross-media ad sales supporting alternate audience measurement currencies

As media consumption patterns evolve, advertisers want to buy TV, audio, and digital ads together, in the same campaign, creating a need for sales teams to generate impression-based proposals . Inefficient workflows, slow execution time, and new datasets add excessive complexity to an already challenging process.

WO Fusion is WideOrbit's next-generation, direct-sales platform for cross-media, multi-market selling across alternate audience measurement currencies. WO Fusion provides a solid foundation from which stations can manage, execute, and scale end-to-end ad sales, both today and into the future, with features and workflows to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and maximize revenue.

WO Fusion is the culmination of existing technologies, integrations, and experience.

Many of our clients already use WO Media Sales to build both linear and digital proposals, leveraging real-time account information, inventory availability, audience research, and delivery metrics. It is a proven technology that has been around for over 20 years, with thousands of proposals processed every month.

WideOrbit Digital Orders, a module of WO Traffic, is also used by many clients to consolidate linear and digital on a single invoice.

And finally, for cable and broadcast networks, WO Network Sales and Consolidated Network Sales are used to sell impression-based campaigns using any currency, such as Comscore and VideoAmp.

These proven technologies are now being merged into WO Fusion. Phase one is a reimagining of WO Media Sales from an on-prem Windows-based application to a SaaS browser-based system rebranded as WO Fusion for broadcast TV.

Over the last 18 months, WideOrbit has built the foundation of WO Fusion, and over the next 12-18 months, we will identify and port one or more WO Media Sales modules into WO Fusion, creating milestone releases. Each time, WO Media Sales will then leverage that feature from WO Fusion. And this is not a simple re-write - each feature is being re-imagined as it is migrated to the browser.

An optional upgrade from WO Media Sales , WO Fusion offers the following benefits:

Browser-based,SaaS implementation for single sign-on anywhere with an internet connection

Impression-based selling

A unified view of cross-platform demand

The ability to efficiently build cross-media, multi-market proposals with alternate audience measurement currencies

Campaign monitoring, with a holistic view of campaigns across media types and markets all in one place
