Millennial Media Buys Nexage

By Peter Kafka
Peter Kafka covers media and technology, and their intersection, at Vox. Many of his stories can be found in his Kafka on Media newsletter, and he also hosts the Recode Media podcast.

Mobile ad company Millennial Media is buying Nexage, a company that helps automate ad buying and selling. Millennial will pay $107.5 million for the company; $85 million of that will be in Millennial stock, which has been falling steadily all year.

Will you join us?

Our biggest supporters are our readers — and we’re so grateful to everyone who has made a contribution during our September campaign. We’re less than 1,000 contributions away from reaching our goal for the month, which in turn will allow us to say yes more often when our incredible journalists come to us with questions they want to answer and projects they want to pursue. Will you make a contribution before the month ends and support our policy coverage through 2024 and beyond?

Yes, I'll give $5/month
