MirriAd and Repucom Partner to Provide Measureable ROI for Embedded Video Advertising

LONDON - Embedded advertising specialist MirriAd, and Repucom, the global brand
analysis agency have entered into an agreement to enable content owners,
brands and their agencies to easily assess the value of embedded video
advertising opportunities. The companies will now integrate their platforms
to enable preview of seamless digital placements (embeds) in existing video
assets (props, logos and video) together with a corresponding measure of
value. A post-campaign return on investment (ROI) analysis will also be
available.

The unified platform will provide all the support material needed by
brands to launch embedded advertising campaigns across all platforms -
broadcast television, online, home entertainment and mobile. MirriAd’s
existing platform allows advertisers to preview potential embeds as a low
quality stream so that they can see exactly how the finished product will
appear. Repucom’s brand analysis tools complete the picture by providing a
measure of on-screen duration, exposure size, media equivalency, and value.
The process is designed to remove any risk for the advertiser and deliver
powerful metrics on demand, before and after the event.

MirriAd and Repucom are at the forefront of the standardisation of
valuation and ROI for embedded advertising and have previously cooperated in
the assessment of campaigns in the highly developed Indian market. In 2008,
Hindustani Unilever embraced embedded advertising to promote its brands, and
a comprehensive report from Repucom validated the campaign by revealing
radically higher return on investment relative to traditional television
advertising.

Commenting on the agreement Mark Popkiewicz, MirriAd CEO said, “Embedded
advertising is an emerging but already highly developed approach. It answers
many of the difficulties an environment in which consumers now regularly
avoid traditional advertising raises. The advertising placements are
seamlessly incorporated - exposing brands to consumers without detracting
from the core content and this agreement with Repucom allows to demonstrate
the value up front.”

Danny Townsend, President of Repucom EMEA and South Asia, continued,
“We’ve experienced first-hand the potential of embedded video advertising to
address the rapidly changing needs of the industry, and the potential is
clear. Repucom International, via its use of proprietary image detection
technology and global accepted valuations of in-programme branded content
have been working with over 350 brands and content owners globally for the
past 4 years. Whether our clients need a pre-campaign assessment of the
likely returns, or a post-campaign follow up to validate and tailor their
ongoing campaign requirements, we can now deliver the detailed data and
intelligence.”
