Why it made our list
Launched in November 2007, AdJug has quickly established itself as the UK’s largest advertising exchange. With 500 advertisers on board, access to over 4,000 sites and some 2.2 billion ad impressions every month, AdJug reaches a staggering 81% of the UK’s online audience. It’s not down to luck either: the operation has some serious entrepreneurial talent behind it. Former Gumtree.com MD and eBay Germany’s marketing director, Michael, and Courvoisier Future 500 hotshot Satish, have plans to expand AdJug internationally over the next 12 months. With offices already established in Germany and India, this ad trading platform may well be on its way to global domination.
