It has all the great features that I want. CPC is low, not as costly as other rivals, easy to use, are some features which make it amazing.

I think Native Advertising is the future and i am happy working with such a big player like Outbrain and to be honest, i am enjoying their great customer support.

The support here in Brazil was confusing, this delayed the beginning of the campaign and displeased the company.

Senior Web Application Developer

It is an awesome way to get traffic to your site. It's top notch and the options and demographics is so easy to get stats and build upon them on your next campaign.

Software Developer

I loved that Outbrain generated more user interaction with the content I generate, fulfilling the promise they made me.

We wasted alot of clicks and impressions on low quality websites as we are limited to how many we can actually exclude. This actually caused us to cancel alot of campaigns with Outbrain.

Creativity&design

It's all very well done and very easy, and the ads are quick to roll out. I've been using it for a very long time it also has everything I need it's fast with tasks and very good shopping.

Senior Product Manager

The traffic is worthless. None of the audience is remotely targeted, and it results in zero conversions.

I left outbrain out of frustration. The native ads platform made my life a nightmare.

A good experience but could be better when spending alot of money each month.

Helps with page views

An amazing way to reach new customers! 

A good experience but could be better when spending alot of money each month. 

Access to great media, but targeting and exclusions are limited

Easy to use but also difficult

Was able to get my content in front of fresh eyes and drive new website traffic! 

Expand your content with Outbrain! 

Very bad they faked clicks, double charged me and are providing no customer service.

Fake clicks and overcharged by double.

Was good, but the management costs might be overwhelming. 

Great tool if used properly and constantly finetuning 

Outbrain: a good choice?

Never Their terms of service are not clear, and I waisted days trying to create a campaign to get banned with little explination. 

Never Been So Dissatisfied

Way better than other marketing options

Muy mala experiencia. 
Nula conversión. Publicistas muy malos y dudo de la veracidad de los clics que hemos obtenido. Sin duda, no volveré a esta plataforma. Jamás, por más que busqué, vi nuestro anuncios anuncios publicitados en ninguna de las web que indicaban. 
De todas formas, conversión NULA. No hay más que hablar. Muchos anuncios, muchas modalidades, muchas formas distintas que hemos aplicado y ninguna conversión, teniendo según la plataforma, miles y miles de accesos. 
Según analytics es cierto, pero nada más. Por lo que dudo totalmente de la procedencia de esos accesos a nuestra web.

Todo genial, menos la repercusión. NULA

Everything great, except the repercussion. NULL

très déçu des contenus affichés, je sais bien qu'on va me dire qu'outbrain n'y est pour rien car il propose juste les encarts, mais pour moi vous avez un devoir de verification des contenus diffusés. et je constate que 90% des annonces sont de la pub mensongère

publication de contenus frauduleux

publication of fraudulent content

It's all very well done and very easy, and the ads are quick to roll out. I've been using it for a very long time it also has everything I need it's fast with tasks and very good shopping. I don't think it will be like the next days that platform like that because it's the best for me

Creative shopping

Outbrain helps us reach high value customers

I use Outbrain - Amplify to reach audience worldwide to promote my products. It has been a real helping hand to scale. I see a lot of good publishers on the network (in most of the countries) who got tons of traffic everyday. You can create campaigns in multiple countries and paying in only one currency which helps to ease reporting! Also, if you are looking to retarget users, I believe Outbrain got a fair hold here!

I work with other native advertising tools & I would say the UX design is much simpler and easier then what I see elsewhere. 

Last but not least, customer support is top-notch! Quick, Sharp & Supportive!


Want to reach a wider audience?

Outbrain is one of the greatest channels for our generating leads in our industry. The CTR and CVR is way better than normal display Banner.By paying less for the clicks compared to FB & Google, we are getting the highest ROI from this channel. I think Native Advertising is the future and i am happy working with such a big player like Outbrain and to be honest, i am enjoying their great customer support.

My secret lead generation weapon :)

Could not make it profitable

We are very satisfied with Outbrain. The software is our number one provider for Native Advertising and we prefer it to its competitors.

John C.:                                               Hi, my name's John. I run a digital marketing agency and I give Outbrain five stars out of five. For more reviews like this, please click below.
                                                       Before we used Outbrain, we looked at a whole suite of different advertising systems, mainly the Google display advertising and Bing display advertising. Both of those systems are great, but we decided to have a look at Outbrain.
                                                       Outbrain gave us more opportunities to do native marketing. So it would allow us to put our adverts onto content that people are really interested in, not just being triggered by keywords.
                                                       It's really simple and quick and easy to onboard with Outbrain. You just set up an online account. You don't need any special software or any specialist help. We set up an account, we set up a budget, and we could get going straight away.
                                                       If you're currently considering Outbrain, I would look very strongly at their advertising platform and have a think about what sort of content you could write that's going to be really attractive and have some really good headlines to attract that right audience.
