The company, which services 250,000 publishers and up to 60,000 advertisers, announced today that it would give sellers control over what inventory theyre selling, at what price, and at what level of visibility. All of these controls will give publishers more comfort in leveraging RTB as a capability and more effectively manage yield, said Ramsey McGrory, head of Right Media and VP of North American marketplaces. Features like transparency controls arent newmost ad networks offer some sort of tool to provide such options to publishers. That doesnt... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
