Marketing technology firm 24/7 Real Media has bought Panache, a provider of digital video advertising fulfillment software and services, for an undisclosed sum. The addition of the digital video advertising technologies to 24/7 Real Media’s Open AdStream ad management platform will creates new revenue generating opportunities for clients of both companies.

Panache’s Ad Catalog includes a portfolio of 25 formats, all of which are supported on a range of commonly used video players.
