Endurance Sports Media Group Partners with Adapex to Improve Publisher Monetization

NEW YORK - EntSun -- The Endurance Sports Media Group (ESMG) has partnered with Adapex to improve monetization performance across its publisher portfolio through programmatic optimization, header bidding, and yield management.

One of the first sites onboarded through the partnership was Sportstats.com, a leading endurance sports timing and event results platform serving athletes and race organizers worldwide.

After auditing the site's monetization setup, Adapex implemented several changes focused on improving auction performance and increasing competition for inventory, including:

• Integration of Merlin™, Adapex's header bidding wrapper
• Expanded bidder participation
• Optimization of auction settings and bid timeouts
• Monetization of previously unserved inventory
• Yield optimization based on performance data and auction behavior

Within three months, Sportstats saw:

• +69% revenue growth
• +162% eCPM increase

These improvements occurred during Q1, typically a slower period for publisher revenue.
