As a perfectly independent platform-agnostic technology company,*we have the responsibility to innovate and accelerate audio for all of our partners, regardless of size, and to support the audio industry as a whole. SoundStack was built in response to fragmented proprietary solutions created over the last few years by major audio companies. It’s time to give audio publishers and platforms a service that can work across boundaries, letting publishers truly optimize their technical and operational setup and maximize their ad revenue,” said SoundStack’s CEO and founder, Jon Stephenson (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3511021-1&h=3672108357&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soundstack.com%2Fblog%2Fintrod ucing-soundstack&a=Jon+Stephenson).

In addition, SoundStack Engine adds the benefit of enabling reporting, analytics, measurement and a speed to market that leads to measurable ROI. This added focus on monetization gives publishers the necessary tools and information to propel their business model and profit. In 2021 alone, SoundStack*paid publishers 50% more compared to 2020.
