Refinery89 was born in late 2018 out of the frustration of not finding a suitable ad-tech partner that operated with our interests in mind, instead of those of advertisers. We challenge this standard by committing to always putting the publishers first. As publishers ourselves, we have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by publishers in the complex digital ecosystem.
We’ve made it our mission to revolutionize the industry by creating best-in-class ad monetization solutions for digital publishers. Our award-winning technologies give publishers a competitive edge and help to significantly boost the quality, quantity, innovation, and distribution of their ad-inventory. The result? Increased net revenue.
At Refinery, our people are at the heart of our success. Our teams of young, energetic professionals from all over the world are passionate about delivering exceptional service with speed and perfection. We ensure that working with us is always a pleasure!
We are proudly headquartered in Madrid, the sunniest capital in Europe! However, our roots are Dutch. This gives us a competitive advantage by combining some of the smartest and most talented people, with the highly effective, direct but informal Dutch work culture in this beautiful city known for its unique quality of life. We maintain satellite offices in other European capitals for our colleagues on site.
Our offices are a hub of activity and creativity, specifically designed to provide a comfortable and inspiring work environment for our team so that they enjoy being at the office. With drinks, fresh fruit, and a bar for Friday afternoons, or as we Dutch say, de Vrijmibo!
We invite you to meet our team, have a drink with them, talk shop, and discover through our core values and DNA why Refinery is leading the charge in the publisher ad-tech revolution. See you soon!

I am absolutely thrilled to write a review for this phenomenal online marketing company! From day one, their service has been nothing short of exemplary. They are incredibly quick and reliable, creating an environment of trust and professionalism that is hard to come by these days. One of the standout features of their service is the nearly 24/7 availability. No matter when I reach out, they respond promptly, ensuring that all my concerns and queries are addressed swiftly.
A special shoutout to our account manager, Pascalle, who has been an absolute star. Pascalle has taken our accounts to a whole new level of excellence, showing dedication and expertise that surpasses all expectations. Her proactive approach and keen insight into digital marketing have significantly boosted our online presence, driving success that we previously thought unattainable.
Choosing this company has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. I couldn't imagine partnering with anyone else. If you're looking for a reliable, efficient, and effective online marketing service, look no further. This team will not just meet, but exceed your expectations!
This company sent me many unsolicited emails regarding "advertising potential" of my blog.
These emails (4 in the span of less than 12 weeks) have never been answered by me but the sales representative Louis Bialek keeps sending similar mails.
That is very annoying and a waste of my time

Having worked together for nearly two years now, Refinery89 became a reliable long term partner. I've only had positive experiences, from communication and service up to their technical capabilities. Looking forward to many more years of that partnership!
Great partner for publishers big and small. Good support and great people. Along with Refinery89 we have grown from a small publisher to one of the biggest lifestyle publishers in NL. Huge thanks to Robin and Pascalle for their support.
Great commercial and technical follow up by the team.
Doubled the income in Belgium comparing to the big Belgian agencies.
Perfect transition between old partner and Refinery.
They also try to think with your publishing company.
A real partner in PUB!
I'm having a very good experience with Refinery89. We've been working together for about one month and the revenue is very good. I also have an excelent support from Vinicius that's always ready to help adjusting ads, settings and always looking for ways to improve our results balancing revenue and user experience.
Good service, nice communication. Respond quickly and find a solution quickly. Very happy with it!
We have had a long collaboration, with Refinery89 growing every year. Which we as a publisher benefit from. There is fast and clear communication, so we know where we stand and can also address problems immediately.
Refinery89 has been taking care of the ads on our news website Redactie24.be for several years now. They are always prepared to discuss new possibilities, they react very quickly to all questions and payments are always on time. I am very satisfied for years now.
Fast reacting, forward thinking, cooperative
