Relay, Kevel's new API solution, gives publishers complete control over the programmatic ad space on their platform; publishers, supply partners, and digital out-of-home providers may monetize their platforms to generate additional revenue.
FREMONT, CA: “Kevel's new Relay product will open up opportunities for publishers to access programmatic advertising that enables them to take back control, whether in their revenue earned, ad customization, or relationships with demand partners," says James Avery, Founder, and CEO of Kevel. Kevel, the premier API infrastructure platform used to construct custom ad platforms, has come up with Relay, an API solution that accelerates the development of unique programmatic ad capabilities and returns control over site monetization to publishers. Relay functions as a layer between the ad server and demand partners, giving businesses greater control over auctions for their advertising space.
“Companies can now own their solution to programmatic advertising. We already have customers on board, like Inskin Media, Blockthrough, and Rockbot and we look forward to seeing Relay make a difference in a wide variety of industries,” adds Avery.

Modern publishers face significant challenges when developing individualized, user-friendly programmatic advertising platforms. Due to restrictive service options on the market and a lack of engineering resources to design a solution, they are compelled to cede control to black box managed services.
With the experience and openness of Kevel, Relay provides publishers with programmatic building pieces and gives them complete control over monetization. Kevel offers Relay's APIs on a SaaS basis, removing the middleman of traditional ad exchanges that take a revenue cut.
Relay provides publishers with the ability to control who wins advertising auctions. Advertisers will have more effective ads if they just bid on premium units. And users will value a quicker website load time. Publishers using Relay's APIs can manage ad space through geo-request filtering, competitive limits, and creative controls.
