Additional revenue from higher bids will protect against potential clawbacks and be placed in a pool and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-payments-guarantee\/\">paid out to publishers<\/a> after six months.\n\nThis bid adjustment calculation provides three main benefits:\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mediavine created BidShield to mitigate any losses from partners who find themselves unable to pay, during the pandemic and beyond, due to financial uncertainty in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-the-open-marketplace\/\">marketplace<\/a>.<\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BidShield gives Mediavine the ability to assess our partners\u2019 financial stability and other factors and address relative risk accordingly.<\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the protection afforded by BidShield allows Mediavine to expand beyond existing partnerships during an uncertain period when others in the ad management industry are unable to make such considerations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\u201cBidShield lets us take on smaller, lesser-known partners that we previously would not have been able to work with. We expect more competition and higher earnings for our publishers from this technology long term,\u201d said Mediavine CEO Eric Hochberger.\n\n\u201cMediavine took a very unique and innovative approach to protect their publishers from any negative effects due to the current downturn and market uncertainties,\u201d stated Michael Lehman, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Supply at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/native-advertising-triplelift\/\">TripleLift<\/a>.\n\nMediavine is a top 30 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-comscore-for-mediavine-publishers-a-bigger-deal-every-day\/\">Comscore<\/a> multi-platform digital media property, with over 115 million unique visitors per month.
