We are Outbrain

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. Outbrain works with many of the world’s largest media properties, including CNN, Washington Post, NY Post, MSN, Daily Mail, Fox News, Vox and many thousands more, reaching 1 Billion unique visitors monthly.

Now, we’re evolving our business to launch a new sub-brand and product offering called Onyx by Outbrain: it’s a new branding platform designed to use our heritage in predicting engagement to help brands maximize attention across the open web. 

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. 

Most importantly, Onyx leverages our powerful prediction technology in a new way — predicting the moments likely to drive attention, by ingesting 1 billion context and interest signals per minute. The attention Onyx delivers is verified and measured by Adelaide, leading attention measurement platform. 

The Outbrain Onyx team is seeking a highly-motivated and passionate sales leader to accelerate our growing Enterprise business with a focus on the automotive industry. In partnership with our global commercial and strategy leadership, you’ll develop frameworks to easily leverage Outbrain for full funnel solutions from brand awareness to driving sales. You’ll drive our strategic enterprise brand direct partnerships and agreements, while working alongside our agency team. Expertise in video and programmatic advertising will be essential to your success.
