Jivox Announces Interactive Video Ad Insertion for HTTP Live Streaming
Jivox Becomes First Platform Enabling Advertisers to Deliver Interactive Video Ads Into Live Streams on Multiple-Screens
New York(16 Jul 2012)
At today’s Interactive Advertising Bureau’s (IAB) Marketplace - Mobile event Jivox announced interactive ad insertion for HTTP live streaming (HLS) for mobile sites and apps that support HLS video. This latest release of the Jivox platform enables publishers and advertisers to insert interactive video ads into live television streams that are delivered to mobile devices. By doing so Jivox is enabling advertisers and publishers to realize the opportunities of monetizing programming across the TV and other screens, including smartphones and tablets.
“Viewers are increasingly accessing broadcast content from multiple devices and this requires a seamless approach to advertising,” said Diaz Nesamoney, CEO of Jivox. “With our platform advertisers are guaranteed that their interactive video ad can be seen by their targeted audience no matter what screen they are watching. This extends the reach and engagement of their TV ad buy.”
According to a Nielsen, in May 2012 there were 163 million unique U.S. video viewers who streamed over 26 billion videos. HTTP live streaming has become a standard for delivering both on-demand and live video streams to mobile devices. It provides a very scalable way to stream video to various screens and connected devices that don’t support Flash video.
As cable networks, MSOs and other content owners continue to make video content available on smartphones, tablets and other connected devices, monetizing those video streams is becoming increasingly important. Jivox enables these publishers to deliver the same interactive video ad experiences in that content across all of the devices used to consume the video content.
Jivox, recently recognized as a winner of the prestigious IAB Mobile Rising Stars Awards for its innovation in cross-platform interactive video ads, will also be speaking at the IAB Marketplace Mobile event on July 16 in New York.
