The mobile demand from our affiliate network has been tremendous, and we expect that demand to increase through this partnership.”
“Matomy is a perfect example of how an innovative ad company can build on AppNexus’ core technology and leverage our expertise to create something that brings unique and real value to its customers,” said Lauren Nemeth, SVP, AppNexus. “Matomy and AppNexus have long worked together to drive improvements in desktop advertising, and we’re excited to continue that collaboration to drive cross-channel performance in mobile.”
