Ozone – (Still) Simply Premium

2023 marks the fifth anniversary of Ozone’s launch, when four competitor publishers came together in a historic collaboration to build a better future for the premium web. Since then, the Ozone team has built a business from scratch, forged deep relationships with advertisers and publishers, all while delivering brilliant results for all.

And while the five year story is impressive, the last twelve months have delivered our best results yet, thanks to the togetherness, expertise, innovation and resilience of our team.

In the past year, Ozone’s revenue delivery was up +42%, far outpacing the growth in both the online display and total media categories. The number of advertisers spending six-figure sums more than doubled, while on average retained clients were investing +115% more. This was accompanied by a +40% growth in UK publisher numbers as our premium portfolio diversified, while international publisher SaaS partnerships now account for half of all relationships.

The impact of Ozone’s team dynamics have been critical drivers of this success; the way we innovated to develop new advertiser and publisher products with our customers, how we super-served clients with benchmark-beating performance, and how we focused on making a difference through our inclusion and sustainability programmes. It’s no surprise that in a year we were named as one of Campaign’s Best Places to Work, that our employer NPS increased by 16 points to 46.

The past year has shown the enduring nature of our proposition – we're still Simply Premium.
