We are Onyx by Outbrain.

Prestigious digital media companies around the world trust Outbrain as their primary engagement partner and platform. As a result, we give advertisers the tools to reach a huge and highly engaged audience in the most trusted editorial and premium environments. Outbrain works exclusively with many of the world’s largest media properties, including CNN, Sky News, NY Post, MSN, Daily Mail, Fox News, Vox and many thousands more reaching 1 Billion unique visitors monthly.

Now, we’re evolving our business to launch a new sub-brand and product offering called Onyx by Outbrain: it’s a new branding platform designed to use our heritage in predicting engagement to help brands maximize attention across the open web. 

Onyx is wholly separate from the Outbrain you know today.  Onyx is a programmatic -first offering in a dedicated, environment of viewable, in-article placements, featuring rich video and display experiences that drive greater audience attention and impact.  These placements are completely incremental and exclusive to Onyx. 

Most importantly, Onyx leverages our powerful prediction technology in a new way — predicting the moments likely to drive attention, by ingesting 1 billion context and interest signals per minute. The attention Onyx delivers is verified and measured by Adelaide, leading attention measurement platform.
