Inquisitr.com Consolidates Ad Operations with AdApex….Results in Direct Increase in Revenue

September 1, 2020

CASE STUDY

Situation

Two years ago, Dominick Miserandino became CEO of Inquisitr, a US news site that focuses on lifestyle stories. Immediately he realized the ad operations structure and minimalistic technology caused issues with revenue and needed to be changed. “I realized we needed a structure and a fixed workflow [with ad ops],” said Dominick. “The previous management tried various people running it… If you have multiple parties involved with ads, there’s no one, coordinated structure.” Inquisitr needed a single, consolidated source to manage ad operations that would enable them to look at their site as a whole. They also needed to ensure that advertisers paid for the space they occupied and that space was being maximized. This would allow Inquisitr to increase their revenues per pixel and move toward the ultimate goal of maximizing revenues per session.

Solution

Inquisitr partnered with AdApex for turnkey ad operations and a programmatic technology facelift. First and foremost, working hand in hand with Dominick, AdApex systematically enhanced or changed the programmatic ad stack. They also advised and developed additional technology to maximize some of the unique aspects of Inquisitr and helped Dominick implement his streamlined processes. In fact, AdApex has become such an integral partner with Inquisitr that Dominick refers to Debra from AdApex as his Director of Ad Operations. “AdApex is officially an outside vendor, but we do not operate as such,” said Dominick. “Debra and her team are their own division on the pyramid in terms of our workflow”.  Now that the previous ad revenue issues have been resolved, the ad operations team’s focus is on growth. “[With AdApex] in place, everything else is easier,” said Dominick. “It allows me to have my team do what they need to do, and I can do what I need to do.”
