Case Studies

Real results for publishers who needed a different approach to advertising

A specialist outdoor pursuits magazine with 380,000 monthly readers had been rejected by two major ad networks for being 'too niche'. We placed them with four privacy-compliant direct advertisers and grew their ad revenue by 210% within six months.

A UK-based legal information publisher was losing 40% of ad inventory due to cookie consent drop-offs after a GDPR audit. We migrated their entire stack to cookieless contextual targeting and recovered 94% of their lost impressions.

A B2B cybersecurity news site ranked on page three for their core keywords and had minimal ad yield from a single network. Our combined SEO and ad brokerage programme moved them to page one for 12 target terms and doubled their RPM within eight months.

Testimonials

What our publisher partners say about working with us

"We'd been turned down by three networks in a row before finding Private By Design. Within four months they had us generating real revenue from advertisers who actually made sense for our audience. The compliance work alone was worth the partnership."

Marcus T.
Publisher, specialist finance news site

"After GDPR became properly enforced we were terrified we'd lose most of our ad income. The team audited our entire setup, moved us to contextual targeting, and our RPMs are actually higher now than they were before. I still find that remarkable."

Rachel W.
Founder, UK parenting lifestyle publication

"Private By Design understood our niche immediately. They didn't try to force us into generic programmatic. They found us direct advertisers in our sector and the quality of the ads on our site has improved significantly. Our readers have commented on it."

David C.
CEO, B2B manufacturing trade press

"The SEO work ran alongside the advertising setup and the two complemented each other perfectly. More organic traffic meant better ad yield, and better ads kept readers on the page longer. It's a proper virtuous cycle and I wish we'd found them sooner."

Sophie A.
Editor, independent travel publication

"What sets them apart is the honesty. They told us upfront what was wrong with our consent setup and how much it was costing us. No fluff, no upselling - just a clear plan and solid execution. Exactly what you want from a specialist agency."

James O.
Head of Digital, regional news group

"Health content is notoriously difficult to monetise through mainstream networks. Private By Design found us partners who were relevant, compliant, and actually wanted to be on a site like ours. Our ad revenue has grown 140% year on year since we started with them."

Priya N.
Director, health & wellness content platform
