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.

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.

The attention Onyx delivers is verified and measured by Adelaide, leading attention measurement platform.
