While there are networks and aggregators in the market already, niche vertical networks are a new concept and an exciting opportunity for advertisers to work with Fairfax Digital.

FD Plus brings together sites that align closely with core Fairfax Digital brands, making it easy for advertisers to extend their campaigns onto high quality smaller sites that weren't previously accessible through one buying point.

While FDO will run on the networks as a third tier filler option, the networks are predominantly focused on contextual and behavioural advertising opportunities, bringing access to customers in hard to reach segments.

Is FD Plus a blind buy?
