This will act as a hub to deliver virtual advertising services across the region and be available to sports properties, advertisers, and broadcasters.

The idea is for both firms to combine their resources to offer tailored virtual advertising services to brands in South America, and thus expand into that market.

Massimo Magri, chief commercial officer at Supponor, said: “When it comes to new markets, South America represents a priority for Supponor. We have the ambition to offer our services to all sports rights holders in the region and give them opportunities to further monetize their marketing assets.”
