Lineup Systems joins forces with FatTail as part of Chartbeat's expanding media operations platform

Posted

Lineup Systems, a global leader in media sales technology, is excited to welcome FatTail as the newest addition to the growing Chartbeat media operations platform. This acquisition further solidifies Chartbeat’s commitment to building an end-to-end software suite for media companies, integrating best-in-class solutions for revenue management, audience analytics and direct advertising automation.

Advancing a unified vision for media growth

For years, Lineup Systems has transformed media sales workflows through Adpoint, the industry’s most advanced order management system. Now, by joining forces with FatTail, these companies aim to drive greater operational efficiency and unlock new revenue opportunities for media organizations worldwide.

“As media consolidation happens, the once large silos between revenue and editorial are collapsing,” said John Saroff, CEO of Chartbeat in an interview for Axios. “Revenue leaders and editorial leaders need to work together to ensure the survival and growth of media companies, and we want to be the solution that helps make that happen.”

FatTail, which specializes in automating direct sales deals between publishers and advertisers, will bring its full team and product suite into Chartbeat’s software stack. “The Chartbeat deal will help publishers reach more readers, drive down costs, and grow their business,” said Doug Huntington, CEO of FatTail.

Building an end-to-end media solution

With this acquisition, Chartbeat continues its rapid expansion into revenue-focused publisher tools. Chartbeat has broadened its offerings beyond audience engagement tools, acquiring Tubular Labs for social video analytics and Lineup Systems for digital revenue management. FatTail now strengthens this portfolio by enhancing direct ad sales automation, ensuring that publishers can maintain control of their advertising strategies amidst increasing industry challenges.

A future built for publishers

With FatTail now part of the Chartbeat ecosystem, media organizations can benefit from:

  • Industry-leading content and audience analytics from Chartbeat and Tubular Labs
  • Comprehensive order and revenue management through Lineup’s Adpoint
  • Direct advertising automation and optimization with FatTail

Together, these solutions provide media businesses with the tools to navigate today’s evolving landscape, ensuring they can scale operations efficiently, optimize monetization strategies and — above all — maintain a competitive edge in the industry.
