SEATTLE and NEW YORK, March 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Placements.io, the revenue management system for publishers, today announced that newly independent publisher FORTUNE, is the most recent company to select Placements as their Revenue Management Platform partner. FORTUNE recently left Meredith, and is building a new advertising technology stack to create an advanced advertising operation that will position the company for dramatic growth. FORTUNE’s new approach to the market, and their ability to start with a fresh technology strategy fits well with Placement.io, which offers the newest ad management platform on the market. Their customer collaboration forum ioLab, and frequent release structure, help customers improve user experience and elevate businesses performance.
“FORTUNE has been granted the opportunity to reinvent our business, and partnering with a progressive company like Placements.io positions us for success,” said Michael Schneider, Chief Revenue Officer at Fortune. “Their next-generation platform, integrations approach as well as the number of meaningful enhancements and releases they provide, builds confidence for our future.”
In addition to a platform built for today’s multichannel advertising market, Placements.io prioritizes client growth with an “integration as a service” approach. The company offers deep integrations with Salesforce, NetSuite, Google Ad Manager and a number of additional premium technologies, which was an important determining factor for FORTUNE. The company also developed a proprietary migration automation tool, which provides scaled on-boarding process that allows publishers to quickly realize the benefits of the new platform with little to no downtime as they switch. These factors have enabled the company to sign on more than 30 brands that have left competitive platforms in the past six months.
“FORTUNE has been a premium publisher for over 90 years, and we are proud to have earned their partnership,” said Edwin Fu, CEO at Placements.io. “As they embark on their new path to grow as an independent organization, Placements looks forward to being by their side and supporting their business with innovative technology and top tier service.”
