A passion for new media.
Publir’s passion is the repristination of profitable content through software. Our founding principals have uncommonly deep experience at the turbulent intersection of old and
new media. Both have practiced journalism; both have crafted leading-edge
software. Millions of ad transactions are optimized by Publir each day—
and for each, our team works tirelessly on the side of the publisher.
Because good writing should pay well.
