Pubstack Unveils Server-Side Ad Management, Propelling Programmatic Advertising into a New Era of Optimised Performance

by ExchangeWire PressBox on 6th Feb 2025 in News

As the ad tech landscape is undergoing a major transformation, with the decline of third-party cookies, the growing demand for better site performance, and the increasing complexity of ad monetisation, Pubstack is excited to announce a significant enhancement to its ad management platform**: the introduction of server-side capabilities as a key enabler for the future of programmatic advertising.**

Pubstack's solution is a strategic response to the evolving programmatic advertising landscape. More than just a technical fix, this major feature is unlocking new monetisation opportunities—faster ad loading, improved revenue efficiency, and a dramatically enhanced user experience. It is also setting the stage for a new wave of AI-powered optimisation, where publishers, sales houses, and ad networks gain more control and flexibility over their ad strategies.

Why server-side is reshaping the sell-side

Traditional client-side setups have powered digital advertising for years, but they introduce limitations that are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Latency, fragmented demand access, and constrained optimisation capabilities are just a few of the challenges that publishers face.

By shifting ad auctions to the server, publishers can:

Improve user experience with faster ad delivery and reduced latency.
Monetise high-growth environments more effectively, including iOS, Android, and video instream.
Enhance attractiveness to buyers by improving viewability and other key performance metrics.
Lay the groundwork for AI-driven yield strategies that are difficult to achieve on client-side setups.

While the transition to server-side header-bidding offers numerous benefits, it also presents significant technical challenges. In response to these challenges, Pubstack has developed a solution that drastically simplifies server-side management. By providing an intuitive interface, the platform enables teams to easily connect and configure multiple SSPs, reduce latency, and improve core web vitals for a better user experience, all while maintaining high revenue performance.
