Your Content Is Feeding AI. Here’s How To Fight Back.

Behind Every Strong Publisher Strategy Is a Strong Demand Team

At Freestar, we talk a lot about being “publisher first.” I think that idea only means something if it informs how your team is built, how your partners are managed, and how much complexity you take off a publisher’s plate.

Demand and Data: The Support That Keeps Publishers Healthy

Some of the most important work in publisher monetization happens outside of the spotlight. It happens between demand and engineering, between reporting and troubleshooting, and between the people building products and the people explaining the output to the business.

AI requires first principles thinking

Spring tends to get overlooked in favor of the high-stakes frenzy of Q4, but for publishers, Q2 is where the real groundwork for revenue growth happens.

Engineering for Publishers: Where Time-To-Value Comes First

Most people experience programmatic advertising as a page load and an ad slot. My job sits behind that experience, where settings, rules, and workflows shape what the on-page code can do. When those systems are clean, everything downstream moves faster.
