About the Speaker

Martin van der Meij
Yield Manager

De Telegraaf

Martin van der Meij is Yield Manager for Telegraaf Media Group in the Netherlands. Here he runs the display strategy for the biggest RTB publisher in the Netherlands and his ideas and actions have had a distinct and direct impact in the current dutch Display ecosystem.

Because of Martin’s influence, Telegraaf was one of the first European publishers to work in yield management (through RTB engines and a publisher trading desk). As such, over the last 4 years Martin has managed to turn unsold inventory into a major revenue stream for Telegraaf.

His online experience dates back to 1995 when he was instrumental in getting one of the first local newspapers in Holland online. The following year he gained international experience with website optimization and new revenue streams. Then in the late 90's Martin found himself running several websites that where optimized based on the value of visitors and their referral. What’s Martin’s challenge for 2012? Just the small matter of building the first multi-platform exchange and fully automated platform.
