Publishers easily monetize their long tail of
advertisers and reduce internal operations for
greater scalability, but have less control on
commercialization.
Advertisers can start advertising with no
minimum budget required.
Publishers manage their “tier 1” advertisers
more efficiently, but need a stronger retail
media organization.
Advertisers carry no operational effort and
still stay in control of their strategy.
