LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OpenX, a leader in creating programmatic advertising marketplaces, today announced the global availability of flexible ad units throughout its unified suite of products for desktop, mobile web and apps. The ability to accept and serve ad creatives of multiple sizes increases buyers’ flexibility and access to high-quality inventory in the OpenX Exchange with publishers experiencing an increase in yield ranging from 15 to 40 percent.
Websites and mobile apps that enable flex ad units experience significant lifts in revenue on those units due to a greater bid density, which ultimately increases the competition for each ad unit. OpenX leverages its proprietary auction technology to dynamically merge bids for the multiple size ad units into a singular auction, similar to the market leading Demand Fusion technology powering the OpenX SSP, which unifies network and real time exchange demand.
Flexible ad units increase inventory supply in the OpenX Exchange by giving the publishers control to include ad units of varying sizes that traditionally have had lower fill rates, such as rising stars or larger ad units. Additionally, publishers looking to provide custom solutions to preferred buyers can reserve this premium option for their PMP deals, providing buyers exclusive access to particular units.
“Working with a partner that is focused on providing excellent client service, like OpenX, we are able to develop a better understanding of newly introduced features that are designed to benefit our web properties and improve our yield,” Max Munton, Co-Editor at This is Anfield, one of the largest independent fan-run websites in world football. “OpenX also takes the time to provide individualized recommendations on how to maximize the results of their products, increasing our revenue, and more importantly setting us up for long term success.”
“Maximizing ad revenue through increased competition in a secure environment is in the DNA of our business. Multi-size ad units provide flexibility and value for both buyers and sellers as they look to achieve revenue targets and campaign goals,” Nicholas Cumins, SVP of Product at OpenX said. “At OpenX, we align our focus to the success of our premium publishers, while at the same time providing superior channels for marketers to reach the right audience in the right context with the most impactful ads.”
