Prompt
What's the best private marketplace for buying premium placements?
Latest observation
The “best” private marketplace depends on what you mean by premium placements and your goal:
If you mean programmatic ad inventory
The strongest options are usually:
- Google AdX / Google Authorized Buyers — widest reach, especially for premium display/video.
- OpenX Private Marketplace (PMP) — good premium publisher access.
- Magnite — strong for video/CTV and premium publishers.
- Index Exchange — often praised for quality supply and transparency.
- PubMatic — solid premium inventory and curation options.
- Xandr (Microsoft) — enterprise-friendly, especially for larger buyers.
If you mean private marketplace for domains/names/usernames/social handles
Then “premium placements” could mean a totally different thing, and the best marketplace would vary a lot by asset type.
Best general rule
If your goal is high-quality, brand-safe inventory, start with:
- Google AdX/Authorized Buyers
- Index Exchange
- Magnite
- OpenX PMPs
- PubMatic
What to choose based on your needs
- Best reach: Google AdX
- Best premium video/CTV: Magnite
- Best supply quality/transparency: Index Exchange
- Best for curated PMPs: OpenX / PubMatic
If you want, I can narrow it down based on:
- display vs video vs CTV
- budget
- geography
- brand safety needs
- self-serve vs managed service
