Integral Ad Science Unveils Pre-Bid Video Segments To Boost Viewability By The ‘Threshold’

April 25, 2016 — by MediaMath

Recently, Integral Ad Science rolled out pre-bid viewable segments for video, providing advertisers the opportunity to target against different viewability thresholds.

MediaMath is the first demand-side platform (DSP) to adopt Integral’s new pre-bid segments.

Read an excerpt below of the AdExchanger article, written by Kelly Liyakasa, to learn more about pre-bid viewability:      

Rather than bidding based on historical data, Integral’s pre-bid viewability segments help marketers fine-tune their bids before the fact.

So instead of just ranking the top 20% or 40% of impressions with the strongest viewability results, for example, marketers can now bid on ad impressions that are more likely to be viewable and in-view longer.

Although Integral offered pre-bid targeting segments to DSPs since 2011 – its earliest integrations date back to 2010 with AdMeld when Integral was known as AdSafe – those were largely centered around display.

“What we’ve done with video is a little different and something we feel is way more respective to advertisers,” said David Hahn, SVP of product management for Integral. “The net benefit is the advertiser can say, ‘My threshold for this campaign needs to have at least 70% of impressions in view,’” and adjust bids accordingly.

Although this capability gives advertisers more in the way of matching bids to their preferred viewability levels, it’s not just about a simple upfront selection.

“A higher level of viewability sometimes means less audience coming from a targeting standpoint, so you really want to create this balance of scale versus viewability,” said Aruna Paramasivam, senior director of data and partnerships for MediaMath. “We like to say, ‘Yes, your ad is 90% viewable, but to how many people?’”

7 Ways the Industry Can Create Better Advertising

March 31, 2016 — by MediaMath

Why do consumers reject advertising? British multinational market research firm Millward Brown thinks there are two reasons:

  1. Some brands spit out too many ads too frequently to attempt to boost share of voice, but instead alienate consumers.
  2. Targeting done poorly can creep out consumers if done too frequently and intrusively.

Millward Brown’s AdReaction Video report, released in February, looked across 42 countries to uncover the pros and cons of targeting. More than 13,500 multiscreen users (those who own or have access to a TV, smartphone and/or tablet) ages 16 to 45 participated. The overall response was that providing consumers with more control over how they receive ads boosts how they are perceived. Millward Brown offers some suggestions for how advertisers can take a step back and better engage consumers:

  1. Get more emotional: Aim to resonate with as much as convert customers.
  2. Demand quality: Advertisers should work to improve the whole ecosystem, particularly prioritizing placements that are uncluttered and gripping, and better measuring how they perform. This can a long way toward quelling ad blocking.
  3. Max the mix: Seamless engagement with customers across channels, and uncovering new opportunities to start or continue conversations, can boost brand lift.
  4. Engage, don’t threaten: Experience over volume was the message conveyed by consumers in the AdReaction report.
  5. Listen to the consumer: In an ideal world, Millward Brown proposes advertisers test consumer feedback to content before it goes live across any media.
  6. Go native: The potential for native advertising is currently untapped—read our take on it.
  7. Be remarkable: Instead of recycling the same old ideas, advertisers should consider how to be bold, different and truly creative.

February 15, 2016 — by MediaMath

How-Marketers-can-Maximise-the-Impact-of-Video-Advertising-through-Programmatic.png

Building brand awareness through video advertising is more important than ever. But what’s more impactful is when brands combine video content with data-driven insights for their omnichannel campaign – targeting messages to the right consumer. This effectiveness is evident in the fact that European programmatic video advertising revenues are expected to increase by almost 40 percent every year, reaching €2bn by 2020.

In a recent article for The Drum, MediaMath’s Managing Director for EMEA, Dave Reed, explores the growth of video and shares his expertise on how brands can utilise programmatic video when optimising their omnichannel marketing campaigns.

Given that video is a powerful medium for brand awareness and developing consumer relationships, Reed cites how brands need more than just inspiring creative to be effective with their video advertising. He also mentions the success eBay have had with integrating programmatic video into their campaigns, and advises marketers on three key points:

  • Consider how viewability is assessed
  • Embrace the benefits of DSP technology
  • Increase programmatic video knowledge
