Our take

In the dynamic realm of online publishing, the challenge persists for publishers to effectively monetise their audience while respecting privacy concerns. This delicate balance is crucial for major publishers dealing with diverse user bases, requiring sophisticated solutions to optimise campaigns without compromising individual privacy.

Enter Permutive, a leading platform that allows publishers to navigate this complex landscape. By providing tools to unlock unique audience insights while respecting privacy, Permutive enables real-time campaign optimisation and delivers detailed post-campaign reports. trusted by global publishing giants such as News Corp, The Washington Post, and BuzzFeed, Permutive positions publishers to drive direct deals, win RFPs, and secure repeat business. in addressing the core challenge of audience monetisation and privacy, Permutive stands as a vital ally for publishers seeking to thrive in the evolving digital landscape.

As part of a strategic response to economic challenges, Permutive made the difficult decision to lay off nearly 40% of its staff. Despite this necessary adjustment, Permutive remains a resilient player in the adtech sector. The company's commitment to prioritising profitability and focusing on existing customers positions it for sustainable growth and continues impact in the ever-evolving digital advertising space. Permutive's positive outlook, coupled with its dedication to innovation, signals its readiness to overcome challenges and contribute to the industry's ongoing transformation.
