Tremor Media, which has the leading video advertising network with the largest audience reach, has more than doubled the size of its network from 2009 to 2010*. The company became profitable in 2009, demonstrating revenue gains that exceeded more than twice the rate of growth of the overall online video market.
“Tremor Media is at the epicenter of video advertising. We have created the preferred technology and media platform for video advertisers, publishers and consumers and we are continuing to build long-term solutions that will meet the demand of the rapidly evolving digital video landscape,” said Jason Glickman, CEO, Tremor Media. “The next 12-18 months are critical for online video’s growth as massive advertising budgets shift to online video and consumption of online video rises. This infusion of capital will allow us to accelerate our lead in the marketplace and fuel our continued innovation. It is a validation of our company’s success and indicative of the enormous opportunity for the digital video space.”
“The online video industry is exploding and represents a major growth sector for the advertising industry. We’ve been evaluating this sector for quite some time and Tremor Media has clearly emerged as the category leader. The company has established its position through a combination of unsurpassed reach, audience targeting and ad management technology innovation that gives its blue chip advertisers tremendous buying efficiency and performance,” said Randy Glein, Managing Director of DFJ Growth Fund. “Tremor Media understands the needs of publishers and advertisers, delivering high impact media solutions that benefit the entire value chain. The company has demonstrated phenomenal growth and financial performance and has done an outstanding job anticipating the trends that are driving video advertising forward.”
In recent months Tremor Media has announced several new products and partnerships that further differentiate it in the online video marketplace. These advances include real-time audience targeting, several engagement-driven in-stream ad formats including the proprietary vChoice unit, and the first of its kind strategic partnership with DoubleVerify for third party ad verification.
