Auckland, Today: Exponential Interactive, a digital advertising company reaching more than 700 million users monthly, has released a new video advertising solution that can be held accountable to performance metrics as measured by multi-touch, last-view or other performance attribution models.
VDX Connect allows brands to reach consumers with interactive video messaging at scale across various ad formats. The solution also includes features that are specifically designed for the needs of marketers in key vertical industries like travel, finance, fast-food and auto. These features include image galleries, menus, dynamic maps and reward programs that have been specifically designed to guide the consumer through the entire journey and assist in the decision-making process.
Exponential’s Melbourne-based director of global sales strategy Tyler Greer said: “We know from talking to our clients in Australia and New Zealand that there is an appetite in the market for accountable video advertising solutions.
“VDX Connect addresses this by offering marketers a performance-driven solution at scale that is tied to verified performance metrics. The great news for marketers is that VDX Connect can be used to reach customers across the entire marketing funnel and takes viewability and reach to new levels.”
The new solution includes a blend of in-frame and expandable video formats for mobile, desktop and in-stream, optimised to meet an advertiser’s campaign goals. Impressions for VDX Connect are sold on a cost-per-view (CPV) model and report time in-view based on an in-view standard of five seconds on mobile devices, 10 seconds on desktop and 15 seconds for in-stream. Whilst sold on a CPV basis, campaigns are optimised based on cost-per-action performance goals.
“VDX Connect launches in ANZ today, but has already been trialled in the US by tech provider CDW.”
