The new solution from Vidzone is based on the technological developments of the company Adtelligent, which works in the advertising technology industry. It allows targeting advertising messages on linear TV channels with the same efficiency as advertising on digital platforms, i.e., creating a personal advertising block for each OTT service user. The Ukrainian television service youtv also joined the project.
“We are constantly improving the MEGOGO user experience and finding new opportunities for partners, especially during the large-scale invasion when content consumption habits have changed and adapted to life conditions. For the last 3 years, we have focused on developing advertising on non-linear channels through the CPM model and special projects that have not been on the market before. Our long-standing dream of implementing the idea with linear TV became possible thanks to cooperation with Vidzone and is innovative for all OTT services in Ukraine and, accordingly, accessible to national and international TV channels. Our partners increasingly want to get as effective indicators as possible regarding budget expenses and analysis, and we believe that we have found one of the solutions for them,” said Igor Zaychuk, Chief Commercial Officer at MEGOGO.
How does it work?
The advertising or announcement block placed by the TV channel is replaced by personalized advertising for each user watching content.
“Our personalized video ad service on linear TV is designed to change how advertisers reach their audience in the modern online environment. In addition to displaying targeted advertising, we allow dynamic insertion of advertising images during broadcasts and advertising in separate windows throughout the broadcast for each OTT service user. Advertisers get a highly relevant target audience by analyzing viewer behavior and interests, increasing engagement, and ensuring better results. We offer clients unprecedented access to viewers thanks to partnerships with leading OTT services and globally known TV channels. The industrial solution from Vidzone offers cooperation to all OTT services, to give brands access to premium advertising resources, and for media owners – to get an effective tool for monetizing their product,” comments Yuri Gorokhov, Co-Founder & CTO at Adtelligent.
The media service MEGOGO plans to test and expand the list of channels with personalized advertising features.
