W3C is an international community where member organizations, staff and the public work together to develop global Web standards. By obtaining W3C membership, Mediavine is strengthening the presence of publishers within the organization, joining current members including The New York Times and The Washington Post.

In this role, the ad management firm aims to serve as an advocate for small, independent Web publishers and collaborate on programmatic advertising solutions as third-party cookies dissipate.

The firm will also work closely with its advertising partners and peers who are fellow W3C members, including Google, Amazon, Criteo, Magnite, OpenX, The Trade Desk and Yahoo.

“To promote global interoperability during this pivotal time for the digital landscape, we’re glad to take our place in a community advocating to protect publishers and their audiences,” said Eric Hochberger, Mediavine Co-Founder and CEO. “Mediavine proudly supports the W3C’s mission of establishing modern Web standards that offer equity and opportunity for all and looks forward to contributing our unique insight to further the organization’s goals.”
