Case study

Prior to working with Next Millennium, SBLive was over-promised by a prominent sports provider regarding the quality of ads, and experienced letdowns from their video provider. This resulted in suboptimal ad placements and a less engaging user experience, hindering the platform’s revenue generation capabilities.
