Moreover, Werther said digital ad revenues on the same comparable basis increased year-over-year, "despite a challenging digital advertising environment," similarly citing the application of best practices in audience development and yield management across the portfolio, as well as a new unified CMS providing all of its brands access to "premium ad products."
