The Opportunity

Dexerto is a global digital media publisher covering esports, gaming, and digital entertainment. As a programmatic-first company, monetization is critical to their business, but prior to 2021, their setup had room to grow.

Before partnering with Aditude, Dexerto was working with another ad monetization solution. While that partnership solved several initial challenges, the team felt their monetization potential wasn’t being fully realized. They lacked robust SSP integrations, a dynamic flooring strategy, and access to the latest revenue-driving technology.

Dexerto needed a partner who could deliver better results—both in revenue and service—without adding operational strain.


The Approach

After hearing about Aditude through trusted industry peers and reconnecting with former colleagues now working there, Dexerto decided to test Aditude’s Cloud Wrapper as a direct comparison to their ad monetization solution.

Their goals were clear:

  • Maximize monetization potential across all inventory

  • Reduce latency and improve impressions per session

  • Offload manual processes like floor price management

  • Work with a tech partner who understands the unique needs of publishers and agencies alike


“There wasn’t one magic thing anyone said to get us to switch to Aditude—it was the numbers. Aditude showed strong performance right away, and that spoke for itself.”

- Niels Claes, Head of Programmatic Revenue & Data Operations

The Solution

Dexerto launched Aditude’s Cloud Wrapper across their site and immediately saw meaningful performance improvements:

  • Faster page load speeds, driving more impressions per session

  • Revenue uplift, outperforming their previous setup in side-by-side comparisons

  • Built-in dynamic flooring, saving time and simplifying yield management

  • Refresh rate optimization, increasing RPM without degrading UX

  • Dedicated support, with the Aditude team offering quick turnaround and strategic recommendations

Beyond the technology, what stood out to Dexerto was Aditude’s high-touch partnership model. As an agency and publisher, Dexerto often has complex demands—requiring flexibility, responsiveness, and publishing-specific knowledge.
