Tremor Video buys local video platform TVN as it looks to compete with Google and Facebook

Ismin

Australian programmatic video platform TVN has been bought by Tremor Video in a move its local boss Josh Ismin argues will help it compete with the might of global giants Facebook and Google.

TVN had been the exclusive reseller of video platform LiveRail until Facebook bought the company last year, a move which Ismin says forced them to look for other partners.

Late last week Tremor Video announced it had bought the company with Ismin telling Mumbrella: “We think this will be a really exciting partnership which brings a lot of investment into the region and we hope to expand quite aggressively over the coming years.
