Digital Video
Digital video is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’ medium for advertisers—it’s a vital component of any successful media plan. Over 85% of internet users in the U.S. watch online videos each month and are expected to watch 100 minutes daily on average by the end of 2022 (Statista).
Consumers view all types of video content with incredible regularly—from entertainment to education and business—and innovative brands are taking advantage of digital video placements to advertise their products and services.
What is Digital Video?
It’s inefficient for advertisers to buy video placements on a one-off basis—instead, smart media buyers purchase inventory on a network (or networks) through a system called programmatic video advertising. In this way, video placements can be bought and sold in dozens, if not hundreds, of areas automatically via real-time auctions. This programmatic system ensures that there is less expense for advertisers and more relevance for ad viewers.
With more screens being viewed by more diverse audiences than ever before, programmatic digital video has become a necessity to meet consumer demand—it’s just not possible to place video ads manually anymore. Instead, we use demand-side platforms (DSPs) to aggregate inventory from publisher networks so video content can be targeted toward narrow or broad audiences depending on your campaign’s goals.
If you have compelling video content, it’s time to connect it to your target audience via a digital video campaign.
