Media.net aggregates high-quality audiences that generate billions of dollars in ad sales and revenue, making Josh's arrival significant."
"As a partner, I've seen that Media.net's tech and speed to market is without peer," said Cobb. "Media.net's contextual technology powers Yahoo's (now Oath's) performance advertising.
