The company has over 1300 employees across North America, Asia and Europe. It has its HQ in New York and its global HQ in Dubai.^[1]

Media.net is often referenced^{[by whom?]} when talking about ad networks, like Google Adsense. They have ads that are mostly for blogs or text websites, because of the contextual element. If you write a web page about the best computers, it will give ads for computers. Their ads look like a list of links, or buttons that link to another website. Publishers get paid every time someone on their website clicks on one of their ads.
