ESPN, Outbrain Partnership Lets Other Marketers Get Native Placement on the Sports Site

One of the biggest names in sports is letting other publications tap into its digital audience.  ESPN and content recommendation platform Outbrain announced Thursday that the two signed a multi-year, global deal. And, because Outbrain is being integrated into ESPN's in-house sales platform, it will allow third-party content to be seeded natively into ESPN's editorial stream, including between articles in the ESPN newsfeed.  "We used to work primarily with business development or product teams, and now we also work with sales teams," Outbrain vp of product marketing Matt Crenshaw said. "The result: product teams get better content recommendations, business teams get new revenue, and now ad sales teams get more flexibility to serve the ad campaigns that they sell directly." According to the publisher, it has more than 116 million unique visitors monthly across its digital networks.  "This gives our sales team a new avenue by which to tap into the sponsored content marketplace. We look forward to bringing these solutions to our global customer base," ESPN Customer Marketing and Sales president Ed Erhardt added in a press release. Outbrain's content reaches 550 million people around the globe, providing a larger reach than most publications could do on their own. Using a variety of factors including what's on the Web page, previous user behavior, context of the user's visit and trending topics, it places promoted links on partner publication's pages. The company and its... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
