Bloomberg Media announced it has extended its commercial video offering by selecting Videology, a leading software provider for converged television and video advertising, as its premium video advertising partner in EMEA.
Bloomberg’s live streaming television player and video-on-demand content allows Videology platform partners to reach influential audiences in premium environments across multiple devices. Initially a UK-only initiative, the partnership will extend across the EMEA region in January 2016.
Viktoria Degtar, Head of Sales, Bloomberg Media, EMEA, said, “With the continued fragmentation of video audiences, our clients are looking for a single buying point to measure and optimise campaigns effectively. By partnering with Videology, we can increase the access to our premium audiences, programmatically at scale, whilst maintaining control and transparency.”
Videology demand partners will benefit from pre-roll opportunities to reach Bloomberg Media’s influential audiences; in the UK alone, digital video content attracts 1.15 million unique viewers a month, positioning Bloomberg as number one in comScore’s Business and Finance category. Video streams reached 6.3 million videos in October, and viewers averaged 6.5 minutes per video on the site. (ComScore October 2015 UK Video Metrix – Business/Finance Category)
Ryan Afshar, VP, Media EMEA at Videology, said: “Connecting premium video suppliers, both within TV and digital video, to top tier advertisers has always been a paramount priority for Videology. Bloomberg Media’s extensive video offering and high-value audiences make it an excellent strategic partner to integrate within our platform. We look forward to playing an active role in the platform’s video advertising strategy.”
