Los Angeles and New York – September 22, 2015 – OpenX, a leader in creating programmatic advertising marketplaces, and Boston Globe Media Partners (Boston Globe), a leading digital news provider, today announced an expanded relationship, with OpenX as the driving force for its programmatic digital advertising across Boston Globe’s properties.

Boston Globe will leverage the OpenX Supply Side Platform with Demand Fusion Technology to fully monetize its digital inventory. Currently, Boston Globe utilizes the OpenX Ad Exchange.

We expect those numbers to rise further as we expand our relationship with OpenX.”

Currently, Boston Globe taps into the OpenX Exchange, benefitting from its proprietary monetization technology and increasing yield across all of their digital properties. Boston Globe is one of the latest premium publishers to join OpenX.

Qasim Saifee, SVP of Monetization at OpenX, said, “We are pleased that Boston Globe has seen the value and quality we bring to them as they execute on their monetization strategy.
