“I am extremely proud that ExoClick has been included in the top 1,000 European privately owned companies,” said Benjamin Fonzé, ExoClick's founder and CEO. “When I founded ExoClick back in 2006 the ad network industry was very small and was just starting to open up. Through hard work, the right strategic business decisions and building a great team we have now grown into the fourth largest ad network in the world. We kicked off 2016 by doubling our office space in Barcelona's iconic Torre Mapfre and we are continuing to expand our team, attracting a highly skilled and talented international workforce.
“Our business objective has always been to obtain the maximum ROI for our clients via our proprietary ad network platform,” Fonzé continued. “We help publishers build up their quality traffic sources and increase the monetization of their ad spots with our innovative ad formats, and we help advertisers target the right audience for their offers and provide them with industry leading analytical tracking tools to drive their conversions.”
