You’ve heard of in-stream advertising; it’s the most prevalent form of video advertising. It’s what you think of when someone says “Oh yeah, I’m running video ads for my brand.” In-stream video ads are classified as ads that are played before, during, or after an online or streamed video is played (Pre-roll, mid-roll and post-roll). But, do they work?
84% of consumers leave content due to advertising that interrupts their content.
An estimated 81% of businesses use video as a marketing tool, but in advertising, interruptive video ads can be a detriment both to the user experience and to the user’s perception of the brand - if the user even stays to watch the ad.
Imagine how much better the ads would perform as an advertiser if people saw them?
Imagine how much more money you’d make as a publisher if people saw them?
Enter On-Stream™ advertising by CatapultX.
