Ad Ops RoundUp: A Newsletter & Podcast About Modern Ad Operations:

Ad Ops RoundUp is a weekly newsletter and podcast where we talk about the real side of digital monetization, what’s working, what’s changing, and what publishers should actually be paying attention to.

If you work in ad operations, programmatic, or digital publishing, you already know how fast things move. New tech stacks, shifting demand, policy changes, and constant pressure on CPMs and revenue can make it hard to keep up. This project was created to make that easier.

Each week, we break down practical strategies around Google Ad Manager, header bidding, yield optimization, CTV, audio monetization, and publisher growth, all based on real-world experience, not theory.

Some weeks it’s a deep dive into a specific Ad Ops tactic. Other weeks it’s a discussion about trends, challenges, and lessons from the field. The goal is always the same: clear insights you can actually use.

You can read the newsletter, listen to the podcast, or do both, whichever fits your routine.

If you care about building sustainable ad revenue and understanding how modern monetization really works, you’re in the right place.

What you’ll usually find here:

• Ad Ops strategies that improve CPMs, fill rate, and overall yield
• Clear explanations of tools like Google Ad Manager and Prebid
• Monetization ideas across display, video, CTV, and audio
• Real-world lessons from publisher growth and optimization work
• Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

Thanks for being part of Ad Ops Round-Up. New posts and episodes are added regularly.
