Brightcove unveiled Brightcove Lift, the company's ad optimization solution, which enables publishers, broadcasters, OTT providers, and other media companies to maximize video ad delivery and video ad revenue across mobile and desktop. Combining server-side ad insertion (SSAI) and the industry's leading HTML5 player management service, Brightcove Lift defeats ad blockers while delivering seamless TV-like ad experiences for viewers, client-side interactivity, and integration with the industry's leading providers for reporting and analytics.
Benefits of Brightcove Lift
Millennial audiences are proving to be especially challenging for ad supported video businesses with their high rates of mobile consumption and ad blocker usage which compromise ad delivery and result in lost revenue. Media companies using Brightcove Lift, however, have seen video ads delivered per video start increase by as much as 50%. These groundbreaking results demonstrate the solution's ability to mitigate ad blocker technology, maximize ad inventory, and drive meaningful revenue lift. Brightcove Lift allows media companies to:
Circumvent ad blockers By dynamically stitching ads into content streams in the cloud, Brightcove Liftenableshigher ad delivery and revenue across platforms. Publishers are able to deliver their preferred ad load through dynamic ad insertion in the cloud.
Work with their preferred ad server Brightcove Lift is integrated to deliver advertising from ad servers such as DFP, Freewheel, SpotX, and LiveRail as well as required measurement from the leading analytics providers. Lift is compatible with the IAB VAST specification.
Enable mid-roll ads Server-side ad insertion also enables content owners to maximize ad inventory and monetization opportunities by seamlessly delivering mid-roll ads across platforms.
Deliver a TV-like ad-supported experience Brightcove Liftenables a seamless viewing experience by minimizing ad error rates and breakage, and optimizing streams for playback. The result is a linearbroadcast-quality video experience that keeps viewers engaged with the content by minimizing buffering between video content and video ads.
Maintain client-side interactivity - In combination with server-side ad insertion, client-side interactivity allows publishers to deliver interactive features such as scrubber blocking, mid-roll ad break enforcement, click-through tracking, and companion ads.
Leverage the performance and customization capabilities of the industry-leading Brightcove Player Brightcove's responsive HTML5 player loads quickly, and is easily customizable with HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
We are living in a golden age of content with consumers benefiting from an unmatched selection of online and broadcast programming, says David Mendels, CEO, Brightcove. We strongly believe that media companies have the right to monetize that content through ads. Consumers have long embraced free content in exchange for ads, and it is important to preserve this model in order for consumers to continue to have access to the range of free video content available today. But we also believe that consumers should not be forced to endure heavy video players, slow load times, high latency between ads and content, and frequent errors. Brightcove Lift provides a solution that helps ensure media companies can continue to be successful with ad-supported business models and deliver a faster, better, more TV-like experience for consumers.
At Vox Media, providing a high quality audience experience is very important to all of our brands. When it comes to mobile video capabilities on our web properties, fast and smooth playback is our priority. With our previous OVP, we faced severe issues on Android ranging from slow video load times to complete playback failure. As a result, we chose to turn off ad delivery in an attempt to preserve user experience, says Brendan Murphy, Product Manager, Video, at Vox Media. With Brightcove Lift, we've seen significantly improved quality and consistency in the video playback experience across mobile devices which allowed us to re-enable ad delivery. Today, Brightcove is powering the majority of Vox Media's online properties on mobile. Using Brightcove Lift, we are able to deliver a rich mobile ad experience without compromising user experience.
As mobile video consumption eclipses desktop viewing and more and more consumers adopt streaming devices and applications, the opportunity for media companies to monetize those viewers is growing substantially, says Anil Jain, Senior Vice President and GM, Media, Brightcove. In fact, for most broadcasters and publishers it is increasingly a requirement to be able to deliver ads successfully across the growing diversity of platforms. Such delivery has been plagued by a host of issues, not just ad blockers, but also ad delivery timeouts, ads that don't conform to the content they're associated with in terms of quality, and app crashes due to client-side ad logic. Brightcove Lift mitigates these issues by blending the benefits of server-side ad insertion with the interactive capabilities of our leading client player technology. As a result, publishers no longer need to sacrifice revenues or compromise the viewing experience instead they can delight the consumer and do so profitably.
