33Across is a publisher monetization company, founded in 2008 by Eric Wheeler, the CEO of 33Across.[1] The 33Across platform delivers programmatic video and display ad revenue to publishers across devices. Its headquarters are in Sunnyvale, California. The platform connects buyers and sellers through attention-focused ad formats and has offices and employees in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, the UK, India, and Japan.[2][3]

History

[edit]

33Across was among the first companies to leverage social data to build predictive targeting for brands. The company grew quickly with Series A venture backing from First Round Capital. Flybridge provided Series B, providing the capital to acquire San Francisco–based Tynt, a sharing technology on about 800,000 websites in over 195 countries that reaches 1 billion global users monthly. After heavy revenue losses in 2012 and plateauing in 2013, the company downsized and began to build a new business focused on securing quality in-view ad impressions.[1][4]

In 2014, 33Across signed its one millionth publisher.[5] In 2017, the company promoted Yuri Burka to managing director of the EU[6] and Shyam Kuttikad to CTO.[7] After four years of triple-digit growth, in 2018, the company expanded to Europe and Asia.[8] 33Across marked its strongest year in its 14-year history with EBITDA growth of 500% from 2019 to 2020.[9] In 2021, Paul Bell was appointed as president.[10]

In 2021, the company launched Lexicon; an identity solution created specifically to help publishers succeed without cookies.[11] In June, 2022, it was announced that Lexicon saw 15X year-over-year growth in daily cookieless revenue for publishers as well as 300% increase in fill rates and 150% increase in cookieless CPMs.[12]

Today, 33Across has over 800,000 integrated global publishers, over 1 billion global users, and over 500 billion in monthly traffic.[13]
