“Can an independent header-bidding + managed-ad-ops partner keep mid-sized publishers competitive as identity, cookies, and AI reshape programmatic advertising?”
Publift was founded in 2015 by two ex-Google ad execs to give small/mid-sized publishers access to premium programmatic demand. Its proprietary Fuse header-bidding tag became the core product, evolving into an AI-powered ad management platform bundling 11 adtech products. The company operates purely as an adtech intermediary — not as a fintech — and there is no embedded finance layer beyond standard billing to publishers.
Publift was founded by Colm Dolan and Tobin Page and is founded in 2015, headquartered in Sydney, Australia (with offices in Dublin, Ireland and San Francisco, USA).
