BuySellAds

BuySellAds is an advertising platform that connects advertisers with publishers across websites, newsletters, and podcasts. Founded in 2008 by Todd Garland, the company grew out of his experience running blogs and publishing ads, evolving into a marketplace focused on authentic, well-matched sponsorships rather than intrusive advertising. It serves advertisers seeking to reach technical and professional audiences, as well as publishers looking to monetize their content.

The platform works with notable publishers including Brave, Firefox, CodePen, and National Public Media, offering both self-serve tools and managed advertising solutions. Its services include ad placement discovery and purchasing for advertisers, along with payment processing, accounting support, and custom-branded portals for automated campaign management for publishers. BuySellAds emphasizes brand sponsorships that align with publisher content and audience demographics rather than generic programmatic advertising.

The company also produces Re:Growth, a B2B marketing podcast featuring senior marketers from companies such as Asana, Buffer, and Intercom, covering growth strategies, content marketing, and career development. BuySellAds' CEO Todd Garland has been a vocal industry commentator on topics including ad blocking, ad quality, native advertising, and the ethics of audience targeting, appearing on podcasts such as Indie Hackers, What Happens In Adops, and Community Signal.
