Advertisers can now guarantee the brand safety and suitability of their video advertising at scale across web, mobile, and CTV
While the rise of programmatic advertising has enabled brands to reach consumers on hundreds of millions of destinations across the open web, aligning that advertising with brand-safe and brand-suitable content has always been a pain point for marketers. The impending retirement of third-party cookies and increased uncertainty from privacy regulations are presenting additional challenges for both media companies and marketers.
Contextual ad targeting, aligning advertising with relevant content, is an established solution that has helped advertisers in search and display improve campaign ROI, media quality, and overall performance for decades. But for video, the fastest and most valuable form of media today, contextual ad targeting has not been possible. Until now.
With the IRIS.TV Contextual Video Marketplace, we have simplified thousands of integration points into a single ecosystem. Publishers’ video content can now be analyzed and categorized into industry-accepted brand-safety and brand-suitable segments that can then be purchased by any advertiser or DSP through private marketplace deals.
The IRIS.TV Contextual Video Marketplace brings together:
- Publishers
- Contextual data partners
- Ad Servers
- SSPs
- DSPs
Why IRIS.TV?
Over the past seven years, we’ve built a data pipeline to simplify the complexity of the video ecosystem across CTV, web and mobile video. Initially designed for the onboarding of publisher video metadata to support our recommendation engine, our technology is able to unify thousands of integration points across a publisher's content management system (CMS), video player and ad server. IRIS.TV’s ability to ingest video data from any content feed, standardize that data into a common data model and activate that data through the programmatic ecosystem is what finally makes contextual video targeting at large scale possible.
Brand-safe and brand-suitable video inventory can now be made available at the scale top marketers require, in contrast to the ongoing lack of brand safety on platforms like YouTube and Facebook.
The Contextual Video Marketplace has five core participants:
Publishers (Ingest)
- Publishers on-board their video content into the Contextual Video Marketplace securely into their own dedicated account via a content feed from their CMS.
- Publishers’ video content will then be analyzed by a variety of contextual data partners enabling their video library to be segmented into industry-accepted contextual categories.
- This enables publishers to execute direct or PMP deals based on specific content types enabling higher CPMs, fill rates and overall revenue increases.
