How we calculate this

Return on Ad Spend — the revenue an ad platform attributes to your spend, divided by that spend. We report the median — not the mean — across a medium cohort of anonymized media & publishing brands over a rolling 90-day window, refreshed daily. Medians resist outliers, so one runaway account can't skew the number. Every cohort respects a minimum-brand floor for anonymity. Read the full methodology →
