Pre-, mid- and post-roll ads

Also known as linear video adverts, these have the strongest resemblance to the standard TV commercial, in that they play before, during or after the chosen program. As a result of their positioning, they are generally referred to as pre-rolls, mid-rolls or post-rolls.

This format is linear in the sense that it takes over the full experience of the viewer for a limited amount of time and they are only ever exposed to either the advert or content at one time. Their advantage is the viewer only having one item of content (the video or the ad) to focus on at any one time.

19 million streams per month;
15- to 30-second pre-rolls;
location, vertical, time, day and retargeting capabilities; and
companion ads

Companion Ads

Companion adverts are designed to enhance the impact of roll adverts, and allow users interaction throughout the video. The companion ad can be placed anywhere adjacent to the video player.

The main benefit of the companion advert is to offer sustained visibility of the sponsor throughout the video experience.

Overlays

These are also referred to as non-linear adverts. In contrast to the pre, mid and post-roll ads, the overlay doesn't take over the full user experience. Instead, it acknowledges the desire of some key demographics to interact with multiple experiences at once. Overlay's offers the opportunity for the viewer to interact with the content and advertising at the same time, by showing while the content is running.

An overlay banner runs along the bottom of the video content.

Video skins

Skins add a frame around a video player, giving the advertiser ownership of that environment. This allows brands to dynamically rebrand the video player with an animated, clickable skin.

Interactive skins offer maximum brand exposure, high click through rates and a great user experience.

Skins are best used for branding campaigns.

Platform 9 Facebook Plug In

This allows you to stream a TV commercial with the Facebook "Like" or "Share" functionality. The Platform 9 Facebook plug-in offers:

15-second to two-minute TV commercials;
user-initiated sound on;
player skinning option; and
location, age, gender, vertical, time, day and retargeting capabilities.

Branded or sponsored content

Branded content provides a chance to integrate your brand into the video content rather than advertising around it. The product is showcased throughout the video content. Great branding opportunities exist in this format, as the entirety of the video content is produced with the brand in mind.

Sponsorships provide an opportunity for a brand to bring video content to the viewer. Exciting creative opportunities exist, as the brand takes over ownership of all the media associated with the video.

Network home video wall

Let your TV commercial take over the largest entry point to the network with maximum exposure.

Video extender

Stream your TV commercial in banner and give the consumer the option to extend across the screen.
