Advertising.com Offers Facebook Inventory Through Facebook Exchange Partnership

Advertising.com customers can now access Facebook inventory through AOL's massive premium, cross-screen network. With 608M global unique visitors, Advertising.com is one of the largest providers of programmatic buying, and with the addition of Facebook's 1bn users, our reach is expanded even further.

We know that advertisers want to include Facebook inventory in their buys – we're seeing it on RFPs – so we're glad to be able to further meet their needs. Marketers can execute both brand and performance campaigns across screens (desktop, mobile, tablet, connected TVs), across formats (video, mobile, premium formats), and now on one of the most visited sites in the world, all with one buy through Advertising.com.

Working with Advertising.com advertisers will be able to powerfully leverage their own, and AOL's, targeting on Facebook.

At AOL Networks, our mission is to simplify digital advertising at scale. We are delivering on the intersection of premium and programmatic buying for our clients and this is another step in that direction.

AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo! Announce Advertising Agreement in Canada

Following our announcement of a display advertising partnership agreement between AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo! in the United States; and between AOL and Yahoo! in Canada, we are excited to announce this deal has now been extended to include Microsoft in Canada.

We have partnered with Microsoft and Yahoo! to meet advertiser demand and provide easier access to high quality online display inventory. This agreement should dramatically improve the process of buying and selling premium online inventory in Canada. Under terms of the deal, AOL will soon have the ability to offer premium non-reserved owned and operated display inventory from Microsoft and the Yahoo! Network Plus to our advertising customers.

Similarly, Microsoft and Yahoo! will also be able to offer AOL's owned and operated, and third party non-reserved inventory to their own advertising customers, and deliver commensurate value to their publisher partners, as well.

For more information, please read the AOL corporate blog post from when the deal was formally announced in the US.
