We are Onyx by Outbrain.

 

Prestigious digital media companies around the world trust Outbrain as their primary engagement partner and platform. As a result, we give advertisers the tools to reach a huge and highly engaged audience in the most trusted editorial and premium environments. Outbrain works exclusively with many of the world’s largest media properties, including CNN, Washington Post, NY Post, MSN, Daily Mail, Fox News, Vox and many thousands more reaching 1 Billion unique visitors monthly.

 

Now, we’re evolving our business to launch a new sub-brand and product offering called Onyx by Outbrain: it’s a new branding platform designed to use our heritage in predicting engagement to help brands maximize attention across the open web. 

 

Onyx is wholly separate from the Outbrain you know today.  Onyx is a programmatic -first offering in a dedicated, environment of viewable, in-article placements, featuring rich video and display experiences that drive greater audience attention and impact.  These placements are completely incremental and exclusive to Onyx. 

 

Most importantly, Onyx leverages our powerful prediction technology in a new way — predicting the moments likely to drive attention, by ingesting 1 billion context and interest signals per minute. The attention Onyx delivers is verified and measured by Adelaide, leading attention measurement platform.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
