Outbrain Expands Programmatic Access on the AppNexus Marketplace
Outbrain's Premium Native Placements Now Available To Programmatic Buying Through AppNexus
NEW YORK and LONDON, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Outbrain, the world's leading premium discovery platform, today launches Outbrain Programmatic Access (OPA), available on AppNexus, the world's leading independent advertising technology company. The service, available to customers worldwide, integrates programmatic demand partners into Outbrain's premium native ecosystem. For the first time, Outbrain will allow AppNexus marketplace customers to bid on its inventory, which comprises the largest premium native supply in the world.
To date, Outbrain has operated a closed marketplace. The OPA program allows select partners to participate in the marketplace using their own data and technology stack. OPA also makes it easy for marketers to leverage Outbrain's proprietary data and technology to access their audience in a native way.
The integration with AppNexus and the creation of an open native programmatic ecosystem unlocks lots of options and flexibility for marketers. It builds on Outbrain's promise and investment in surfacing new opportunities for marketers through innovation in targeting, analysis, measurement, and data driven Discovery solutions, as a compliment to their Search and Social strategies.
"Outbrain has focused on building a leading premium native platform," said Brian O'Kelley, CEO and Co-Founder of AppNexus. "It has a clear vision of where the industry needs to go and strong values when it comes to brand safety and trust. This collaboration unlocks opportunity for all of our customers around premium native."
"We are delighted to announce that Outbrain Programmatic Access is now available through AppNexus. Outbrain and AppNexus are the two largest and arguably most visionary companies in the world of digital advertising and together we offer a true bridge between the programmatic display world and programmatic native world for premium brands," said Yaron Galai, Co-Founder & CEO, at Outbrain. "Through this first cooperation we are able to bring a new premium solution to the marketplace and continue to deliver on our mission to help people discover the most interesting things online - combining respect for the placement and trust of the most premium publishers in the world with true value for users."
