The Online Professional Publishers’ Association Belgium (OPPAb) has introduced the first premium Private Marketplace for the entire mobile market for Belgian premium content sites.

“The whole premise of programmatic advertising is that it’s based on what you already know about what that consumer’s been searching for.
The magic of magazines, and advertising in them is that they show you what you didn’t know you wanted before. That’s where the value lies for advertisers.”

“Magazine companies should have more confidence in the quality of their audience who have paid to pick up that issue, and need to communicate the value of that audience to advertisers.”

From Saturday 1^st October onwards, Kanaal Z and Canal Z will be broadcasting a brand new, high-end lifestyle series called Z‑Style.
