Conde Nast is the latest publisher to get in on the private exchange business. The Admeld-powered exchange will feature all of the Conde Nast content brands, including but will not be extended to include print. The exchange has announced eBay and Macy’s as exchange clients.
The move is significant in that Conde had refused to sell its inventory to ad networks out of fear of compromising its core direct-sales efforts. A big push from private-exchange providers like Admeld and Pubmatic is that publishers do not need to be binary in their approaches to direct and indirect sales.
