HistoryQ1Media began over 10 years ago working with agencies selling premium campaigns as well as with web publishers to optimize their pages in order to maximize ad revenue. As the company grew it anticipated changes in the ad tech industry and leveraged the experience of its leadership team to shift the company to take maximum advantage. The relationships Q1Media built with its publishers allowed them deep insights into what its publishers wanted out of their ad networks. So Q1Media took action. They created the vSlider: a proprietary, 100% viewable and always above-the-fold video unit that allowed publishers to run video ads, even if their site was not capable of running video. The immediate success of Q1Media's vSlider video unit combined with its existing network opened the doors to jump into programmatic. Q1Media has several proprietary units that create incremental inventory that can be sold programmatically. These units are all 100% viewable, always above the fold and high impact.SpecialtiesQ1Media is an ad technology and media company that facilitates the value and performance of digital advertising in the programmatic ecosystem. Q1Media's Hydra Platform technology amplifies the value of publishers' content by creating new 100% viewable and programmatically sellable advertising inventory while at the same time maximizing the value of publisher's existing advertising inventory. Q1Media works with over 2,000 premium web and mobile publisher partners. It has a reach of over 200 million unique visitors across video, mobile and display and generates over 1 billion video ad views per month according to comScore Video Metrix.
