NEW YORK, Jan. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Outbrain, the world's largest content discovery platform, today announced that it will deliver content recommendations on The Washington Post, providing users with personalized sponsored content. Outbrain's proprietary content recommendation technology will also afford The Post the ability to control the recommendations that appear across desktop, tablet and mobile. The companies will work together to deliver relevant content recommendations for The Post's audience.
"Outbrain gives publishers the flexibility and control needed to surface quality content, create a positive user experience and gain trust from readers - an element increasingly important and hard to come by in today's fragmented media landscape where readers quickly jump around digital properties," said Josh Feller, senior vice president of global business development at Outbrain. "We're pleased to partner with The Washington Post and deliver technology that enables the publisher to deliver high quality sponsored content personalized to a reader's interests."
Outbrain's content discovery platform surfaces sponsored content to users from across the web, determines videos and stories relevant to each individual and analyzes more than 6.9 billion bits of data daily to deliver personalized recommendations across desktop, tablet and mobile homepages. The platform empowers publishers Outbrain works with such as The Washington Post, MSN and CNN, to understand in real time how users engage with content - allowing media companies to manage recommendations, understand and maximize the monetization of audiences.
"We look forward to working with Outbrain to provide personalized and controlled third-party content to our readers," said Jeff Burkett, The Post's senior director of sales operations, digital ad products and strategy.
