The Publisher Dilemma

Publishers and creators of all sizes struggle with ad tech every day. In an industry built for advertisers, they are fighting behemoth ad tech companies who are all looking out for their own agenda. Ad tech has historically always favored the needs of the advertiser, or the maximizing margins for ad tech tools and vendors through the ad supply chain.

Add to that, an incredibly complex ecosystem with an ever-increasing number of tools and services, and publishers have historically found themselves with two choices when it comes to ad monetization:

  1. Build and manage an ad tech stack in-house.
  2. Use an ad monetization partner or tool to manage it for them.

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Option 1 comes with a hefty amount of work, and the requirement to build a resource-intensive team in-house. Publishers often fail with this strategy, unfortunately. They lack data consistency between tools and rarely live up to their revenue potential. They struggle to manage the amount of work required, as well as what's actually required to build a resource-intensive team in-house.

Publishers who choose option 1 struggle with clarity around their results, and how to improve them, as well as resource allocation.

Option 2 comes with a loss of control, something no business leader loves. Historically, publishers experience nothing but frustration when handing ad management over to a third party. They feel as though they are simply looking at a black box. With no idea what is being done or how it can be improved, the only lever publishers have left to try and gain any semblance of control is revenue share.

Publishers who choose option 2 struggle with transparency and lack of control over their own results.

Returning Control to the Publisher

At Playwire, we believe the publisher is king, queen, and everything in between: every decision we make, every product we develop, every piece of technology we build is in the best interest of the publisher.

So, with our Revenue Amplification Management Platform (RAMP), we set out to create a third option. An option that provides clarity around results, doesn’t require hefty in-house resources from publishers, provides them with the transparency and control they deserve, and most importantly, maximizes their ad revenue.
