Yospace and STV on the long-term impact of Dynamic Ad Insertion

--

Nearly three years after the first UK launch of Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) for live simulcast, Scottish broadcaster STV and stream manipulation expert Yospace present a unique case study on the long-term impact of the service. From a standing start ahead of the World Cup in 2014, addressability can now be applied to 98% of STV's online inventory a figure that would not have been reached without DAI. At the European Championships in 2016, the broadcaster recorded a 150% growth in ad impressions compared to the World Cup.

Combined with our ability to achieve higher yield through targeting, this represents a huge revenue increase, says Will Jones, Product Manager at STV.

The case study also explores the impact DAI has had on STV's regular schedule. R mi Brunier, Business Owner for the STV Player, explains: We simulcast 24/7 and Saturday nights are live events in themselves. Viewers tuning into reality shows like The X Factor and I'm A Celebrity want to see the action as it happens, and their popularity is delivering strong digital ad revenues each and every week.
