Vibrant, a leader in premium contextual advertising solutions, has announced it has increased its UK portfolio of premium publishers, building its reach to include 21 million new page impressions for its top brand advertiser clients.

Vibrant’s contextual advertising claims to reach 62% of the UK internet population – 27 million unique users [comScore, November 2010] – in key sectors including Technology and Business; Automotive; Lifestyle; Food & Drink; and Sports categories.

New in-text publishers signed include the Spectator, which has 2.5 million page impressions and is focused on Politics and Culture. Also, eHow.co.uk, an online destination helping millions of people accomplish tasks by offering trusted advice, through articles and videos, and is one of the leading sites in its sector.

Other publishers now working with Vibrant exclusively include Netrepreneurs and Access World covering Technology; Burst Media UK and Anorak, covering Lifestyle; Cook it Simply and Cook.co.uk covering Food & Drink; and PERFORM targeting the Sports community. Vibrant retained long-standing in-text partner Honest John, an Auto site, following a pitch in January 2011.
