San Mateo, CA(14 Jun 2010)
Adap.tv, creators of the first online video advertising marketplace and the onesource video ad management platform for publishers, announced today a partnership with TidalTV, a leading video advertising, optimization and yield management solutions provider. TidalTV adds to the growing number of high quality buyers in the adap.tv marketplace, and is the first to utilize adap.tv's recently-announced real-time bidding (RTB) interface, an innovative feature that enables buyers to fully leverage targeting and optimization technology to scale their online video campaigns.
By joining the adap.tv marketplace, TidalTV gains access to large volumes of premium video inventory on a platform that provides an unparalleled level of transparency and control. TidalTV works with brand advertisers to deliver demographically targeted video ads using proprietary technology and data aggregated from leading third-party providers. Adap.tv's RTB interface is a first for the online video industry and will enable TidalTV to leverage its proprietary technology to analyze and bid on impressions in real time.
"The adap.tv marketplace is an innovative product that enhances TidalTV's buying capabilities," said Scott Ferber, CEO of TidalTV. "It gives TidalTV access to quality inventory that can be leveraged on behalf of the advertiser to deliver optimal campaign performance."
According to eMarketer, 66.7 percent of U.S. Internet users -- 147.5 million people -- currently watch online video each month, and this number is projected to reach 77 percent -- 193.1 million people -- by 2014. Access to RTB capabilities within the adap.tv marketplace helps advertisers successfully leverage this trend and create scalable campaigns. For publishers, it increases the demand for online video inventory in the adap.tv marketplace and introduces them to more quality buyers willing to pay premium CPMs for relevant and targeted campaigns.
"As more partners like TidalTV join our marketplace, the way online video ads are bought and sold becomes more transparent, efficient and profitable," said Toby Gabriner, President of adap.tv. "RTB is one of many key tools that TidalTV can leverage within the adap.tv marketplace that provides scale and a more precise way to buy online video ads."
