With access to its own enriched viewership data, Popcornflix will be able to enjoy increased CPMs while the systems built-in advanced business rules support better targeting with smart ad campaign management.

They helped us to strengthen video playback on all devices while also implementing server-side advertising (SSAI) to provide a better ad experience. Were proud of the new apps and look forward to continuing to improve them with the SeaChange team.

Additional new features include a search functionality, making it easier for users to find relevant content; separate movies and series pages; and enhanced playback performance on all devices.

We enjoyed working with its in-house team to supercharge their offering and create an exceptional user experience, said Bob Pons, executive chairman, SeaChange International.
