As a provider of content advertising technologies, Trade4Sports specializes in a real-time digitalized marketing solution for the sports and entertainment sector. The company has established T4S Desk & SSP, a booking platform for media agencies and advertising clients, and developed T4S Marketing Cloud, an online-based inventory and playout system for rights holders.

The platform T4S Desk & SSP serves as the digital bridge between rights holders and media agencies. Thanks to standardized preparation with learned media planning key figures, the LED screens - called Digital Sport Screens - can be selected for the first time in classic media planning via the T4S SSP service and booked automatically via self-service using T4S Desk. This programmatic and intuitive ad-tech solution can be used at a national and international level to extend media campaigns that use digital advertising spaces in the sports and entertainment sector.

As a all-in-one solution, the T4S Marketing Cloud covers all requirements from digital marketing to delivery and bundles the technology expertise of Trade4Sports and Qvest. This SaaS solution gives clubs and rights holders a convenient, automated, and cloud-based way of managing their advertising spaces, such as LED boards at the sidelines or other virtual or physical displays in the stadium. The inventory management function therefore digitalizes and standardizes the marketing processes. The delivery of advertising media is made much simpler thanks to an integrated asset management. Assets can be controlled, modified, and delivered in real-time via a cloud-based multi-channel playout system. In addition, as an established media technology company, Qvest, together with Trade4Sports, offers holistic and individual support in the logistical and technical planning, delivery as well as commissioning of the LED technology in the stadiums.
