Publishers benefit from Taboola Header Bidding by driving significantly more monetization with their existing display ad units.

This helps publishers increase auction density across display ad inventory, resulting in a stronger and healthier display marketplace.
“I’m excited to expand our partnership with 15,000 of our advertisers, providing them a broader opportunity to reach their target audiences and driving lower acquisition costs,” said Adam Singolda, Founder and CEO at Taboola. “It is critical to help drive strong performance to advertisers and businesses all around the world, especially during times when social networks and privacy are in play. In working with some of our top publishers, feedback has been incredible. We’re not only able to provide value by generating incremental revenue from existing display placements but also by making the display marketplace healthier. We have a unique proposition given our massive first party dataset, our direct advertisers and AI — and I’m excited to make this available to 9,000 of our publishers in years to come.”
McClatchy’s Chief Revenue Officer, Tony Berg, looks forward to the added benefits this collaboration offers advertisers saying, “Taboola continues to be a strategic partner for us.
