Joost Merks, chief investment officer of Azerion, said in the statement that PubGalaxy understands the challenges faced by publishers and has developed a comprehensive programmatic offering that matches perfectly the needs of the buyer's partners. The integration of PubGalaxy will result in knowledge and technology sharing on both sides, and an enhanced customer experience for Azerion's advertisers and publishers, he added.

Some of the biggest publishers have already entrusted us with their monetisation strategies, as we strive to devise the most effective ways to maximise their ad revenues. We are confident that the expertise and insights gained from our two-decade experience in the publishing world will be of great help to Azerion’s network of advertisers and publishers," Ivan Ivanov, CEO of PubGalaxy, said in the statement.
