The Ecosystem Unlocks Itself

James Hercher and AdExchanger truly "get" our core message: Rewarded Interest is not a bandage; it's a new operating system. It’s a mechanism where:

  • Consumers feel and are valued and respected.

  • Ad Tech operates with efficiency and high-fidelity data.

  • Content Creators are fairly compensated and easier to access (no more cookie dialogs!).


The future of the open internet needs a system that works for everyone – not just tech giants. That's why we're thrilled with the recent coverage from AdExchanger, particularly the article by James Hercher, which captured the "win-win-win" promise of Rewarded Interest.


Hercher's piece highlights how our innovative model is poised to transform the digital ecosystem by putting power, precision, and profit back where they belong: in the hands of the consumer, the advertiser, and the content creator.


Consumers: A Better Experience and Real Data Control

As the AdExchanger article highlights, Rewarded Interest offers a path to a better consumer experience rooted in transparency, control and a better user experience.


For too long, users have been the product, their data collected without appropriate and consistent consent or compensation. Rewarded Interest flips this script. By giving consumers the ability to voluntarily opt-in, share their data, and receive meaningful rewards in return, we establish a fair value exchange. This isn't just about privacy; it's about dignity. Users gain more control over their data and, in turn, receive ads that are actually relevant, turning a frustrating experience into a rewarding one – all while avoiding cookie consent popups.


Ad Tech Companies: Optimized Spend and Higher ROI

The coverage also spotlighted the crucial benefits for the ad tech industry. In a world facing the fragmentation of identifiers and increasing signal loss, effective targeting is becoming a nightmare – or simply impossible.


Rewarded Interest provides ad tech companies with something invaluable: high-quality, consented, and verified identity. This allows companies to optimize their ad spend by targeting known, interested audiences with unparalleled precision – no match-coding, no cleanrooms required. The result is a dramatic increase in return on investment (ROI) and a more efficient marketplace, replacing guesswork with addressable consumers.


Content Creators: Making More Money with Fair Value

Publishers and content creators are the lifeblood of the open web, yet their monetization has been squeezed by fragmented data and platform monopolies. AdExchanger rightly recognized how Rewarded Interest is a two-pronged boost for them.


By enabling advertisers to target valuable, consented audiences directly on publisher sites, Rewarded Interest drives up the effective price of advertising inventory. Content creators can now make more money by proving they host the quality audience that advertisers are eager to reach. Additionally, Rewarded Interest lets consumers automatically pass their consent choices.  It eliminates the friction and frustration of cookie consent banners while creating a sustainable path for journalism, entertainment, and all forms of digital content to thrive.


We are building an internet where the incentives are aligned, and the value flows openly and transparently to all participants. We thank AdExchanger for recognizing that Rewarded Interest isn't just a startup – it's the next evolution of the advertising ecosystem!
