LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OpenX, a leader in creating programmatic advertising marketplaces, and Purch, a digital content and commerce company that reaches 100 million consumers and businesses monthly, today announced an expanded partnership with the successful integration of the OpenX header bidding solution into Purch’s monetization strategy. The OpenX header bidding solution exposes each impression to maximum demand thereby increasing competition and helping publishers realize the true value of every impression in real time.
Purch, whose portfolio includes Tom’s Guide, Top Ten Reviews, and ShopSavvy - sites and services that help millions of people make smarter purchases - has built one of the leading header bidding technology platforms, RAMP, to manage a significant number of demand sources, including OpenX. Purch integrated OpenX Bidder as part of its robust digital advertising strategy across desktop and mobile web properties. Working closely with the OpenX Account and Yield Management teams, Purch recorded a greater than 400 percent lift in OpenX-procured monthly revenue with OpenX Bidder over the course of the past year.
“As one of the first publishers to invest in header bidding, we chose a partner who shares our progressive approach to monetization. With a dedicated OpenX yield analyst, we saw a 30 to 40 percent lift in revenue from OpenX Bidder in just a few weeks,” said Marc Ropelato, Director of Programmatic Revenue at Purch. “As we continue to grow our portfolio, we are confident in OpenX and their team’s ability to provide superior, hands-on support complementing our monetization strategy.”
“At OpenX, we work directly with our publishers’ ad ops teams to optimize their monetization strategy based on their specific business needs. Since Purch first integrated the OpenX Bidder solution in 2013, our yield analysts have worked collaboratively with their team to leverage header bidding to uncover and introduce forward-thinking approaches to increasing competition and yield across their digital properties. We look forward to continually expanding our joint effort as new technologies emerge and their business strategy evolves,” said Qasim Saifee, SVP of Monetization at OpenX.
