Blockthrough named 2021 Programmatic Power Player

26 July 2021
Announcement

Blockthrough has been named a 2021 Programmatic Power Player by AdExchanger, the award-winning industry publication devoted to covering developments in the digital advertising and marketing space. The annual Programmatic Power Players list is the digital marketing industry’s first searchable guide to the best agencies, technology providers, and partners in business.

The companies featured on the list are chosen from the hundreds of submissions received from across the globe. AdExchanger’s editors evaluate each entry based on the strength and breadth of its offerings, its documented case studies, and client references.

Blockthrough is honored to be listed alongside other innovative advertising technology companies such as LiveIntent, Lotame, Outbrain, Magnite, Sharethrough, Verizon Media, and Xandr. We are also excited to note that many of Blockthrough’s existing publishing clients also made it to the 2021 list, including Freestar, Media Tradecraft, and Yieldbird.

This win from AdExchanger validates the effectiveness of our ad recovery via Acceptable Ads solution in restoring a fair value exchange between publishers and their users. We are happy to help publishers unlock substantial revenue using their existing inventory, at a time when they are facing foundational business challenges like the deprecation of third-party cookies.

While you're here...

Did you know that the average publisher loses 10-40% of their revenue to ad blocking? What you may not know is that ad blocking has largely shifted to ad-filtering, with over 300M users allowing a safer, less interruptive ad experience to be served to them—in turn supporting their favorite sites and creators.

Blockthrough's award-winning technology plugs into publishers' header bidding wrapper and ad server to scan ad creatives for compliance with the Acceptable Ads Standard to activate this "hidden" audience and generate incremental revenue, while respecting the choice and experience of ad-filtering users.
