ACME


ACME is an Independent Publisher Network with an advanced Audience Targeting, Programmatic and Direct offering
We also build niche and compelling Audiences for delivery to Brands

From bespoke campaigns to carefully selected programmatic partners, ACME brings quality brands and publishers together.


Quality (content + audiences + ad opportunities) = Quality engagement

The engagement that leads to long dwell time, positive brand associations and rich audience targeting.

We have proven ability in getting some of the highest CPMs, highest CTRs and newsletter opens in the business. Many of our publisher partners have discovered their own magic when it comes to commercialising their sites in tough times; media is on the back foot. All of us can exist, separately, without the benefits of legacy cash cows but we aren’t able to translate our strengths any further than last month’s metrics.

That’s why we’re a network of quality independent publishers.

We represent publishers on the top line, matching them with opportunities that were previously inaccessible. We support them on the bottom line through consolidating costs and taking our experience and listening to theirs, and injecting that back into the mix.

We take a view that advertising and publishing are part of the same ecosystem, one that extends to brands and readers and customers. Everything we do and have done is with this in mind.
