AOL Marketplace
Marketplace allows premium publishers to advance and simplify their business by:
- Leveraging the core technology of Adtech, AOL Networks’ cross-platform ad serving platform.
- Managing blocks and transparency settings at any inventory level.
- Getting high-touch client service from setup all the way through yield evaluation.
- Focusing on what they do best – selling premium advertising and letting Marketplace make the most from their non-reserved demand.
Marketplace sets a new standard for inventory monetization, says the company. It addresses basic publisher needs like brand protection and transparency, and layers on unique yield and performance insights. Marketplace can be used as a standalone or as a feature of the Adtech ad serving platform.
AOL Networks brands include Advertising.com, The AOL On Network, goviral, Adtech and Pictela.
