Market Position
Major enterprise video platform and CDN provider serving broadcasters, publishers, and large media companies
Overview
Verizon Media Platform was a comprehensive digital media and advertising technology platform that emerged from Verizon's acquisition of AOL (2015) and Yahoo (2017). The platform provided enterprise-grade solutions for content delivery, video streaming, advertising, and media monetization. It offered a suite of tools including a content delivery network (CDN), video platform, ad serving technology, and programmatic advertising solutions that served publishers, broadcasters, and brands globally. In 2021, Verizon sold its media division (including Verizon Media Platform) to Apollo Global Management for $5 billion, and the entity was rebranded as Yahoo. The Verizon Media Platform brand and its associated technologies were integrated into Yahoo's operations, marking the end of the Verizon Media era. The platform was known for its robust video delivery infrastructure, programmatic advertising capabilities, and enterprise-scale media solutions that competed with other major CDN and video platform providers.
