Oath is also expanding its award-winning RYOT Studio offering throughout the region. RYOT Studio is a next-generation creative solution offering a premium end-to-end content marketing solution that brings brands’ stories to life.

Oath’s Dublin HQ brings together a highly-skilled team; including a large engineering, development and innovation group working on the company’s core products and services for advertisers and publishers globally. Additionally, the unit includes a number of corporate, sales,  and business operations functions comprising over 26 nationalities across a diverse range of disciplines.

Ireland offers a  highly talented and diverse workforce, and today’s announcement of our consolidation in Dublin is a signal of our global investment that will support our members and partners in this region.

“Our mission is to build brands people love and the Dublin team will play a major part in that initiative as we grow our business organically and through new business deals and partnerships to reach our 2020 goals.”
