Your new company
PubGalaxy was founded in 2014 in Bulgaria with the mission to help independent website owners monetize their content through programmatic advertising technology. We are a team of passionate individuals, who have long-term experience and knowledge in the industry and a relentless desire to get better.

In 2021, PubGalaxy was acquired by Azerion – a fast-growing and leading pan-European digital entertainment and media platform. Since then, PubGalaxy has been tasked to play a central role in Azerion’s ambition to become the European champion in gaming and ad tech. Azerion’s integrated platform provides technology solutions to automate the purchase and sale of digital advertising for media buyers and sellers. Content creators, publishers, and advertisers work with Azerion to reach millions of people across the globe as well as to increase engagement, loyalty and drive e-commerce. Founded in 2014 in Amsterdam, Azerion has experienced rapid expansion and growth and since February 2022, it has been listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange. Currently, Azerion has more than 1200 employees, with offices in 20 countries.
