			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Video Monetization Data Reviews 11 Billion Online Video Impressions to Determine Viewer Reaction to Content Type and Length, Plus Ad Format and Placement</p>
<p>PALO ALTO, CA &#8211; Auditude (<a href="http://www.auditude.com">www.auditude.com</a>), the leading provider of video advertising technology and monetization for premium content owners and distributors, released a report showing online video publishers, content owners and distributors have greater advertising revenue opportunities as viewer acceptance increases around TV-like commercials within online video. Furthermore, completion rates of ad breaks streamed within live content jumps significantly, compared to those within video-on-demand content. The report indicates that video publishers, content owners and distributors can increase revenue potential based on viewer acceptance of ads in premium content.<br />
<span id="more-15623"></span><br />
The Auditude Video Monetization report shows how content type, length of video stream, ad format and placement affect viewers&#8217; response to ads. The analysis is based on a sample of over 11 billion ad impressions running through Auditude&#8217;s video ad serving platform. Auditude&#8217;s study reaffirms that:</p>
<p><strong>Live vs. Video-on-Demand</strong>: Completion rates of ads on live content are significantly higher (86%) compared to video-on-demand content (60%). This suggests that live content actively engages viewers who know that they may not see that content again after its current availability and, therefore, are more willing to sit through digital commercial breaks.</p>
<p><strong>Mid-Roll Completion</strong>: Mid-roll video ads have the highest (75%) completion rates as viewers are watching long-form content that they have likely committed to seeing through completely. These ads are the closest comparison to the TV viewing experience as they can be programmed similarly to television with multiple commercials during a single break within online viewing. This insight has strong potential ad buying ramifications given the popularity of the pre-roll ad format today.</p>
<p><strong>Professional vs. User-Generated Content (UGC)</strong>: Viewers complete in-stream ads on professional content 68% of the time, versus 52% for UGC. The study also highlights that there are more linear video ad opportunities served into professional content than UGC, regardless of content length. This suggests that advertisers possibly view this type of content as safer and more brand-friendly, and are therefore willing to buy more of it.</p>
<p><strong>Overlays on Video</strong>: There are more overlay (non-linear) ads served within UGC vs. professional content. Overlays tend to be more intrusive and are viewed as a performance- or action-oriented product for brands willing to risk exposure on UGC content.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our research shows that content owners and distributors can create a highly-engaging ad experience in online video that closely resembles what is present on television. For example, the power of tune-in during digital live content can be just as impactful as on television, and maybe even more so given the interactivity of the creative execution. This provides tremendous opportunities to maximize the value of digital video content and make it available to audiences no matter how they are accessing that content,&#8221; said Jeremy Helfand, CEO of Auditude. &#8220;With the growing distribution of IP-based video content on desktops, smartphones, tablets, game consoles, and other devices, we see strong cross-platform revenue opportunities within digital video. These are the types of ad experiences where content owners and marketers will find great success.&#8221;</p>
<p>Auditude&#8217;s study shows that publishers, content owners and distributors must evaluate several elements of the video ad experience, including length of individual content, placement of ad breaks, and the ad format to use. In-stream commercial breaks are the preferred ad solution for professional content while overlays are typically used for monetizing UGC. Audience behavior shows an acceptance of ad breaks in exchange for premium content, similar to a television experience. With multiple ad breaks inserted effectively within digital video, publishers can amplify revenue opportunities for their content.</p>
<p>Auditude&#8217;s Video Monetization report examined video ad impressions across 300 publishers to better understand user viewing habits and engagement. This study encompassed thousands of ads from a wide array of advertisers.</p>

<p>Joey Trotz, Senior Director, Strategic Advertising Technology at Turner Broadcasting will present and discuss with attendees how ad operations will benefit most from these online video ad initiatives &#8211; and what they should be doing now to take advantage.<br />
<span id="more-4533"></span><br />
The importance of getting online video advertising right is growing for marketers and publishers desperate for revenue. While the interest is there from all sides, operationally video advertising has proven to be a real challenge. The entire process is fraught with more complications than standard display ads processes and is weighing down Ad Ops team who are struggling to do more with less. VAST &amp; VPAID has the potential to automate some of these processes. But as marketers and vendors work to adopt these standards, it’s time for Ad Operations teams to start doing a deeper dive into what VAST &amp; VPAID can and can’t do and what they should be doing now to make sure they can benefit. Doing so will generate revenue and create efficiencies marketers and publishers need.</p>
<p>The Online Technical Forum is being sponsored by Auditude. For more information, agenda and registration: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.admonsters.org/ws/ws-us-03.php" target="_blank">http://www.admonsters.org/ws/ws-us-03.php</a></p>

<p>LOS ANGELES &amp; PALO ALTO, Calif. &#8211; MySpace, the world’s premier social network, and Auditude, a new provider of patented online video advertising technology, today announced that they have partnered with MTV Networks, a division of Viacom (NYSE:VIA) (NYSE:VIA.B), to enable advertising opportunities within audience-uploaded videos across MySpace. Through this relationship, Auditude provides the opportunity for advertising to be inserted across a suite of MTV Networks’ most popular video content uploaded to MySpace, including clips from MTV and COMEDY CENTRAL, among others. This agreement enables all parties – publishers, content owners, advertisers, and fans – to benefit from the organic distribution of premium video on the Web.</p>
<p>“Auditude is opening the floodgates for users to program video on MySpace and ensure copyright holders get paid,” said Jeff Berman, MySpace President of Marketing and Sales. “In one fell swoop, Auditude and its partners are empowering consumers and building a better business model. That’s a good deal all around.”<br />

<p>MySpace is leveraging a patented technology developed by Auditude that pairs automatic identification of virtually any professional video uploaded across the Internet with an ad platform that enables content owners to serve targeted ads within that content. With more than a billion minutes of professional content already indexed &#8212; including more than 250 million videos, and 4 years worth of 100 channels of television &#8212; Auditude is creating the opportunity for content owners to harness the power of audience-uploaded content and distributed video to activate an otherwise untapped revenue stream.</p>
<p>&#8220;Auditude&#8217;s mission is to grow the market for premium online video by unifying all aspects of distribution and advertising. We embrace the fact that online video is fundamentally social and created the identification technology and advertising platform to include the power of audience syndication – fans uploading content to the Web – as a form of content distribution. Our partnership with MySpace allows us to help content owners, like MTV Networks, reach their fans where they are most active,&#8221; said Adam Cahan, CEO of Auditude. &#8220;We hope to grow the market for monetizing online video by simplifying ad targeting and providing scale through audience participation.&#8221;</p>
<p>“As one of the leading providers of online video in the world, we give our fans the power not only to consume our content, but also to share and interact with it across the Web,” said Mika Salmi, President of Global Digital Media, MTV Networks. “With Auditude’s solution, we can continue to give users the freedom to take our content wherever they go online, while ensuring that we can monetize it as well.”</p>
<p>As part of the solution, Auditude announces the launch of the &#8216;Attribution Overlay&#8217; which automatically identifies content informing viewers about details of shows being viewed online. The attribution also enables the content owner to integrate information about the video clip being played and provides an opportunity for the viewer to watch additional relevant content or have access to commerce links – for instance “buy show” – or merchandise related to that content. Video advertisers now have a usable channel to target audiences of premium content across the Web.</p>
