About Refinery89
Written by the company
Refinery89 was born in late 2018 out of the frustration of not finding a suitable ad-tech partner that operated with our interests in mind, instead of those of advertisers. We challenge this standard by committing to always putting the publishers first. As publishers ourselves, we have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by publishers in the complex digital ecosystem.
We’ve made it our mission to revolutionize the industry by creating best-in-class ad monetization solutions for digital publishers. Our award-winning technologies give publishers a competitive edge and help to significantly boost the quality, quantity, innovation, and distribution of their ad-inventory. The result? Increased net revenue.
At Refinery, our people are at the heart of our success. Our teams of young, energetic professionals from all over the world are passionate about delivering exceptional service with speed and perfection. We ensure that working with us is always a pleasure!
We are proudly headquartered in Madrid, the sunniest capital in Europe! However, our roots are Dutch. This gives us a competitive advantage by combining some of the smartest and most talented people, with the highly effective, direct but informal Dutch work culture in this beautiful city known for its unique quality of life. We maintain satellite offices in other European capitals for our colleagues on site.
Our offices are a hub of activity and creativity, specifically designed to provide a comfortable and inspiring work environment for our team so that they enjoy being at the office. With drinks, fresh fruit, and a bar for Friday afternoons, or as we Dutch say, de Vrijmibo!
We invite you to meet our team, have a drink with them, talk shop, and discover through our core values and DNA why Refinery is leading the charge in the publisher ad-tech revolution. See you soon!

Your go-to ad specialist
We have been working with Refinery89 since a year now. We have switched from a previous partner to R89 and since the switch we have seen an increase in the ad revenue (with less ad slots!). So we display less intrusive ads, but we generate more revenue. That results into happier visitors.
We have faced quite a lot of difficulties setting up the ads when we worked with our previous partner, due to the used technology in our website. However, when we switched to Refinery89, they implemented all the needed tech for us and got us up and running really quick compared to our previous partner.

Worked with Refinery89 for almost 5 years
I've had the pleasure of working with Refinery89/Hugo as an ad tech vendor for several years now. From the start, I noticed their commitment to putting their clients and publishers first – a trait that many businesses claim but not all uphold consistently.
This dedication means that, as a vendor, you need to present a compelling story and provide clear explanations, as they are genuinely focused on ensuring their clients understand and appreciate what they offer. Simultaneously, when an idea makes sense, they eagerly embrace it, aiming to learn and ensure their clients have access to the latest innovations as soon as possible.
In my view, this combination of qualities is the foundation of their success. I recommend publishers consider joining their network; your inventory will be in good hands.
