Focus on Content, We'll Optimize for Advertisers

In the ecosystem of online content, the symbiosis between creators and advertisers is paramount. As platform creators, you're aware that your digital space must be fertile ground for advertisers' products to grow and achieve their desired outcome.

Their investment needs to bear fruit. For that to happen, precision in ad delivery and performance tracking is key. This is where the robust infrastructure of an advertising server that adheres to IAB standards, including VMAP and VAST is key.

Why Smart Ad Placement Matters

Consider this: when creators give their time and content to your platform that becomes a reflection of the expectations they have for the internet. They are deciding to contribute to your platform as opposed to the vast amount of other platforms on the internet. That is a big statement. For most online media platforms, this warrants some form of compensation.

If your business does not have an accurate way to track advertisement campaigns, their engagement through impressions and clickthroughs as well as a way to protect the context in which they're shown, then that makes it very difficult to promise your content creators that they will be compensated. This is because your advertisers - in this case - would not have an expectation of high quality viewers for their advertisements. You need a fullproof strategy and solution for delivering advertisements through keyword and behavior targetting, content categorization and real time monitoring.

Utilizing IAB Specifications to jumpstart Adoption

VAST provides a framework for delivering video ads in a way that connects with viewers, tracking impressions and clicks with accuracy. On the other hand, VMAP ensures that ads are not just sprinkled haphazardly across video content but are strategically sequenced to increase viewer engagement and, consequently, advertiser contentment.

What's in it for You, the Platform Creator?

Running a successful platform is multifaceted, and thinking about ad operations on top of everything else can be daunting. You shouldn't have to dwell on how to manage user activity in a way that's appealing to advertisers—that's where we fill the gap. We've got the understanding and the tools to fine-tune the complex dynamics of online advertising, so you can devote your energy to publishing and curating content that your users crave.

The Strategic Advantage of IAB Compliance

Aligning with IAB standards isn't a mere compliance checkbox; it's a strategic move towards operational excellence. It's the bridge between ensuring user experiences remain uncompromised and advertiser goals are met. By choosing to implement these standards, your platform sends a clear message: you care about delivering value at both ends of the spectrum.

VAST and VMAP

Defining the schema and flow of your advertisements through protocols like VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) and VMAP (Video Multiple Ad Playlist) is paramount because it ensures that the viewing experience remains smooth and engaging. This in turn maximizes conversions and satisfies strict advertiser requirements.

Defining the schema of your advertisements with VAST

To create a platform that appeals to advertisers, it is essential to offer a robust and detailed method for implementing and tracking their ad campaigns.

VAST is the tool that provides a structured schema, laying out the technical specifications for each video ad. It details not just the creative aspect, such as the media files and clickable elements, but also the technical requirements, including tracking pixels and ad verification methods.

With VAST, advertisers can target specific behaviors or viewer segments, adapt campaigns quickly based on performance metrics, and ensure that their ads meet industry standards for security and privacy, which is increasingly critical in a data-conscious market.

Defining the flow of your advertisements with VMAP

Modern advertisers not only care about the content of their ads but also when, where and who their ads are shown to. VMAP steps in to orchestrate this aspect by allowing content providers to pre-determine ad slots throughout the video content. With the ability to insert pre-rolls, mid-rolls, and post-rolls, VMAP maximizes ad visibility while considering viewer engagement, enabling an advertiser-friendly platform.

Content creators can tailor their videos to show advertisements in content sections where viewers are most attentive, or they can take advantage of natural breaks in programming to insert their messages. VMAP's flexibility helps to mitigate the risk of viewer churn due to poorly timed or intrusive ad placements, providing a superior viewing experience that retains audiences and, consequently, becomes more attractive to advertisers.

The Bottom Line

In the competitive landscape of digital content, maintaining advertiser confidence is as crucial as viewer satisfaction. When advertisers can trust that their ads are being delivered according to a precise schema (VAST) and within a defined and strategic flow (VMAP), they are more likely to invest in the platform. Compliant with IAB standards, this method overcomes the challenges of outdated technologies like VPAID, which was less mobile-friendly and prone to errors.

Transitioning to more secure, streamlined VAST and VMAP approaches simplifies ad operation processes, minimizes discrepancies, and enhances compatibility across devices. In summary, adopting these standardized methods demonstrates a commitment to quality and reliability, which is fundamental to cultivating a thriving, mutually beneficial ecosystem for both publishers and advertisers on your platform.
