Unruly’s Proprietary Outstream And Native Video Formats Now Available To Videology’s US Platform Users
Unruly Offers Additional Ad Format Diversity to Videology Users in the U.S. via UnrulyX, the Viewable Video SSP
NEW YORK – March 23, 2016 – Video ad tech company Unruly today announces an integration with Videology – a leading software provider for converged TV and Video advertising – giving Videology’s platform users in the United States access to Unruly’s consumer-friendly outstream In-Article and native In-Feed video formats across hundreds of premium websites with more than a billion monthly video impressions via UnrulyX, the viewable video SSP.
At the core of the integration is Unruly’s supply-side platform (SSP) UnrulyX™, offering scaled delivery of highly viewable video ad formats across premium media destinations. Videology’s advertising software is media-agnostic, meaning advertisers can deliver campaigns on privately-owned inventory, through open marketplaces, or through direct integrations with inventory partners such as Unruly.
Unruly In-Article is the company’s viewable outstream format, which places branded video ads directly within premium editorial content and only begins to play when the video is 50% in-view, allowing consumers to choose whether to watch the content or skip. Unruly In-Feed is a native video format, giving clients access to its proprietary Liquid Layout Technology, which automatically adapts the video ad to the design and layout of the publisher site in real-time, providing a truly native experience.
“Our data revealed that viewability is the most used KPI in measuring the success of programmatic video campaigns. Videology clients who chose to access Unruly’s inventory have the security of knowing that their ads will appear in viewable and engaging formats when bought through UnrulyX,” said Kenneth Suh, SVP of Global Business Development at Unruly. “Videology is one of the world’s leading converged advertising companies, and as such, our ability to offer viewable programmatic video with placements that only begin to play once in-view fits well with their overall emphasis on quality.”
“With the rise in consumption of digital video, many of our platform users are now interested in exploring the evolving array of video advertising opportunities available,” said John Rogers, SVP, Media Partnerships, Videology. “As premium pre-roll inventory remains constrained, new formats may offer viable solutions for certain advertisers to deliver their brand message. We’ve integrated with providers like Unruly to ensure our advertisers have access to diverse inventory options for reaching their target audience.”
Unruly and Videology announced an integration in the UK in June 2015. UnrulyX inventory is now available to Videology clients in both markets. You can find out more about UnrulyX here.
