April is Another Record-Breaking Month for Video Advertising: 9.5 Billion Online Video Ads Served

rightRoll received coverage in ReelSEO regarding comScore’s April rankings. Christophor notes “I just spoke with Tod Sacerdoti from BrightRoll this week about some other stuff, including how they maintain their low frequency and massive reach. But that doesn’t affect my opinion one way or another on where to put your video ads.”

Christophor explains, “As always, I like to rank the ad networks my most favorable environment for advertisers. I do that by using the comScore numbers to find the highest reach, lowest frequency video ad network because, if I were advertising somewhere, it’s what I would want. Both BrightRoll and Specific Media lost some reach this month and that narrowed the gap between them… I have to stick with BrightRoll though because even though they lost some reach they show almost a billion video ads a month and maintain a sub-10 frequency, so they’re still the number one video ad network in my ranking with 33.8% reach, 9.1 frequency and the second-most total ad minutes.”

OMMA Video Conference

May 17, 2012
Dan Mosher, General Manager – BrightRoll Exchange, participated on the panel:
Can Exchanges Help Marketers Buy Video Across Screens?

The trend towards always-on media consumption has seen the supply of mobile and tablet inventory expand at a breathtaking pace, providing unprecedented opportunities for marketers to reach consumers across every device they own. In particular, video consumption on these devices is accelerating ever faster, and many experts think ad exchanges could help marketers reach their target audiences across screens more efficiently. Video exchanges offer real-time access to inventory, a self-service, programmatic buying model, as well as standard creative, trafficking, reporting and verification elements. But how should brands determine when and where to advertise? What are the challenges and opportunities of advertising across screens using exchanges? Will they help accelerate video spending, or are they just another tool that muddles an increasingly complex landscape?

Dan was joined by fellow panelists:
Chip Hall, Director of Media Platform Sales, Google Ad Exchange
