About the Yandex Advertising Network

Backed by a proven track record of notable results and cutting-edge advertising technology, our strategic partnership with Grupo Abril has helped bolster its monetization strategy and create new opportunities to diversify and boost its revenue sources.
Business objectives
Grupo Abril is focused on maximizing revenue through header bidding technologies like its counterparts.
Optimizing revenue through direct advertising agreements involves implementing header bidding technology using Prebid.
By partnering with Yandex Advertising Network to achieve its strategic goals, Grupo Abril gained access to first-party demand from Brazilian advertisers — a key element in optimizing advertising revenue, particularly within the core Brazilian market.
Solution
Harnessing our high-profile ML-based advertising solutions, profound expertise in this domain, and cutting-edge technology, we helped Grupo Abril strengthen its advertising capabilities by implementing header bidding technology based on the Prebid.js framework.
Grupo Abril leverages header bidding in its advertising strategy to:
- Connect external monetizers.
- Connect monetizers integrated with the Prebid.js library in a single script and monetize global traffic.
- Reduce traffic loss and ad rendering time (compared to the traditional waterfall).
An established, efficient, and competitive advertising framework, Prebid.js seamlessly integrates into multiple platforms. Grupo Abril can monetize its platforms more effectively by leveraging Yandex’s expansive network of advertising partners, ensuring competitive bids for ad placements, and increasing overall ad revenue. As a monetization partner, this pivotal role places Yandex Advertising Network alongside Grupo Abril’s partners like Criteo, RTBHouse, Pubmatic, Rubicon, Smart, and Teads.
Results
Yandex Advertising Network’s high fill rate consistently met the demands of Grupo Abril’s ad inventory, and our compelling cost per thousand impressions (CPMs) sparked a competitive drive among Grupo Abril’s other partners, leading them to enhance their CPM rates as well.
Since joining forces with Yandex Advertising Network, Grupo Abril has seen a remarkable 25% surge in CPMs for Prebid.
As a result, we’re now one of Grupo Abril’s top 5 demand partners.
