BrightRoll Selected by Google as the First Integrated Mobile Video Ad Provider

Publishers and App Developers Get Access to Pre-Roll Ad Units Through AdMob’s Ad Network Mediation Solution

SAN FRANCISCO – BrightRoll, the world’s largest provider of digital video advertising services, today announces it is teaming up with Google’s AdMob to allow publishers and developers to seamlessly integrate video ads into their mobile apps and generate revenue from premium advertisers.

Through this collaboration, publishers and developers who have the AdMob SDK can now use its Ad Network Mediation to access BrightRoll pre-roll ad units through the BrightRoll AdMob Adapter. BrightRoll is the first video ad network available through AdMob Mediation, which lets publishers manage their networks to increase their fill and eCPM.

“App developers often work with several ad networks to maximize mobile revenue. The updated Mediation solution in AdMob’s new SDK 6.0 makes that process easier and enables developers to more effectively build their businesses,” said Clay Kellogg, head of mobile platform and partnership strategy at Google. “Brightroll’s efforts to make their video ads available via AdMob’s Mediation solution represent an industry-leading example of innovation in mobile advertising.”

Mobile video advertising offers publishers attractive revenue opportunities and superior CPM rates compared to traditional mobile display ads. BrightRoll adapts advertisers’ traditional TV or web video content into pre-roll ad units for a broad range of mobile devices including iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets. BrightRoll currently runs global, large-scale campaigns in every major advertising category, including entertainment, CPG, business, auto, financial services, and food and beverage.

“Google and BrightRoll are pleased that publishers and developers can now harness the power of dynamic pre-roll ads on the AdMob SDK to improve in-app experience and drive revenue growth,” said Tod Sacerdoti, CEO and founder at BrightRoll. “This integration substantially expands the BrightRoll mobile offering and gives advertisers increased reach and scale on mobile devices.”
