The partnership enables Vevo to provide advertisers with enhanced buying techniques similar to those of linear TV. This includes competitive separation, frequency management and the ability to purchase the first slot within ad pods, much like standard TV commercial breaks.
"As the Vevo catalog continues to expand, we are excited to partner with Publica to ensure that we are providing a high quality and curated best- in-class viewing experience, while ensuring that our advertising partners can effectively reach our global audience of music lovers," said Natalie Gabathuler-Scully, EVP, Revenue, Distribution & Data Operations, Vevo. "By providing advertisers with greater control and increased transparency, they can better optimize their CTV campaigns when reaching our engaged viewers."
Key Publica by IAS technology products that Vevo has implemented include:
- Advanced Ad Serving — Vevo has the ability to deliver advanced CTV ad breaks with the granular controls required by advertisers to target, and with the ability to optimize each slot by revenue per second within the pod.
- Advanced Ad Pod Decisioning — Gives Vevo the ability to guarantee an advertiser first pod placement, and own a pod by brand category, helping with competitive separation and buy side frequency management.
- Unified Auction — Enables Vevo to run a controlled, unified auction of all demand sources to extract the highest yielding ad per slot in each streaming ad pod. Vevo is also using the Publica 'Live Logs' feature to enable real time transparency into each of the programmatic auctions within which the company's inventory is cleared; this permits Vevo to optimize yield and data strategies in real time to ensure they do not lose demand to supply path optimization (SPO).
