Publift, is the brainchild of two top-notch tech executives Colm Dolan and Tobin Page. The two spent over 10 years gaining digital ad experience with Google. They could see that publishers needed a lot more help implementing and effectively using ad technology than they were able to offer in their Google teams. From the times they were able to help publishers implement and manage ad technology correctly – they saw publishers obtaining massive gains in ad revenue.

A More Complete Solution

While Google make some of the best ad technology out there, no ad tech provider was doing a good job of combining technologies in a way that publishers could easily manage. Colm and Tobin decided they needed to branch out on their own to come up with a more complete solution to publishers. They realised that this service was only possible as an independent company. Before that they wanted to test the theory learned in Google in the real world – working directly for large publishers in the US, UK and Australia

A New Formula

Soon, they became convinced that their new formula would generate significantly better ad performance for all publishers. That conviction drove them to leave their publisher jobs and setup Publift in 2014. They approached multiple publishers to offer their more complete service. The customer base has grown 80% year on year for the last 3 years consecutively since launching the company. Not satisfied with their original formula, they continue to test and iterate the mix of ad technologies as Publift evolves.

"Our mission is to make the internet experience better as a whole. For our publishers, this means they are able to use the best ad technology seamlessly, so they can focus on creating great content while receiving the best yield on their ad impressions."

- Colm, Publift CEO

Publift is also the only Google Certified Publishing Partner based in Australia offering full management and support for Google’s publisher tools.

For Colm Dolan, the surge of recent wins has helped to make the company more competitive and allowed Publift to build a young, agile and competent team. Publift are regularly contacted by publishers who are not sure which advertising technology is the best to use. Publift helps and guides these publishers to the optimal mix of ad technologies for their site. Maximising the value of every ad request they get.
