Write comment (97 Comments)Playbuzz, a startup that helps publishers to add things like polls and galleries to their articles, has rebranded itself as Ex.co.
Co-founder and CEO Tom Pachys told me the name stands for &the experience company,& and he said it reflects the companybroader content marketing ambitions. Ex.co will continue working with news publishers, but Pachys said therea bigger market for what the company has built.
