At the Rubicon Project we believe a more educated market is a stronger one. We analyze the vast quantity of pricing, audience and inventory data we gather to advise customers and industry analysts on trends and opportunities. Our Market Intelligence has been cited by sources including eMarketer, MediaPost, AllThingsD, ClickZ, AdExchanger, Brand Republic, IDG KnowledgeHub, Marketing Pilgrim, Alley Insider and many others.

Our quarterly Market Reports offer insights and intelligence around emerging trends in online advertising. The eighth report in our series, the Q4 2009 Holiday spending drives high CPMs, looks at the ongoing evolution in the ad network market; publishers focus on optimizing inventory value; advertisers push for greater control and transparency. Our Best Practices whitepaper series examines the state of the market - and how to take action. In September 2009, in conjunction with eConsultancy, we released The Online Advertisers Survey Report, a survey of UK advertisers and agencies regarding their perspectives on ad networks.
