In the past five years, Mediavine has grown beyond our wildest dreams. Mediavine Ad Management now represents over 7,000 sites, with thousands more applying every month. We are beyond grateful for the publishing community you’ve helped us build, and have reached the point in which changes are necessary to give our publishers the level of support they need and have come to expect from Mediavine. Our primary focus is, and always should be, on our existing customers. Given a major increase in application volume due to the global health crisis, that began to shift, which is not acceptable. Changes are inevitable in our industry, and these have been on our roadmap for some time, but like so many businesses, we’ve seen that roadmap accelerate rapidly due to Covid-19.

In the last few days, weeks and months, so much has happened that we may not have thought we would ever see in our lifetimes. From a global pandemic, which is still happening, to the uprising that followed the tragic death of George Floyd, it is an understatement that we are living through a tumultuous period in our history. We believe, though, that with these challenges comes great opportunity.
