NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 07/18/13 -- Tremor Video, Inc. (NYSE: TRMR), a leading provider of technology-driven video advertising solutions, today announced new interactive creative features available to the Company's Tremor Video media network and VideoHub enterprise clients. The Company's VideoHub technology also becomes one of the first to fully comply with the new Vast 3.0 IAB standard.
"Our commitment to creative innovation and standards leadership are two important elements of our vision," said Steven Lee, Chief Technology Officer for the Company. "We remain steadfastly focused on serving consumers and brands in the exciting video space across all screens."
The Company's media network and enterprise clients can now add new Pinterest and Google+ share features in addition to the existing menu of interactive creative elements available for advance video ad units. Advertisers can now enable viewers to share content such as video, links, images, and pre-defined messages on popular social media platforms Pinterest and Google+, giving them the chance to grow their audience beyond the initial ad view. These new features complete a full menu of sharing dock functionality within the Company's interactive creative offerings: Share on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Delicious, Digg, Pinterest, Google+ and Email.
Combining this functionality with VideoHub analytics, advertisers can measure and understand social sharing behavior among video viewers. In addition to tracking the initial share activity, VideoHub also allows advertisers the ability to track how many times a shared item was clicked on from the viewer's post. The Company works closely with agencies and brands to understand when and what type of interactivity drives value for their marketing goals and customer experience.
VAST 3.0 is the newest ad serving standard from the IAB and VideoHub is one of the first technologies to become VAST 3.0 compliant. This enhancement is designed to allows the Company's publishers to monetize their inventory more effectively. Publishers using VAST 3.0 can now run ads with the following features:
- Skippable Creatives
- Ad Pods
- Nonlinear Creatives
- Required Companion Banners
- Image files as Linear Ads
- Icon support from multiple providers (i.e. AdChoices)
- VAST 3.0 Wrappers
This release follows the announcement that VideoHub has been granted accreditation by the Media Rating Council (MRC) for five metrics that help brand marketers, media agencies, and publishers measure the accuracy and effectiveness of digital video advertising: Average Viewability Percentage; Engagement; Clicks; Served Digital Video Impressions; and Unique Cookies. VideoHub is the first ad-technology to receive MRC accreditation specifically for digital video viewability.
