Advertising From Major Brands Enables Millions of Free Video Views of Important Causes
NEW YORK, NY and SAN FRANCISCO, CA – For the first time, social charities and causes have a self-sustaining, dedicated home on the web for their video content. Jun Group has brought on LiveRail as its first monetization partner to launch SightSoundEmotion (SSE), a one-of-a-kind platform uniting cause-based content from the Ad Council and brand-safe advertising.
“We’re excited to be the first technology partner powering SightSoundEmotion, helping brands reach a passionate audience through alignment with cause-based content,” said Troels Smit, VP of Demand Sales at LiveRail. “As the largest source of video inventory, it’s great to add SSE, which increases exposure for important social causes while also providing advertisers with a unique cross-screen opportunity.”
Jun Group built SSE and drives engagement through its Overdrive content marketing platform. LiveRail’s technology will enable advertisers to access SSE’s inventory and Ad Council has provided content from its 50 causes.
“We’re delighted to partner with LiveRail on this important project,” said Mitchell Reichgut, CEO of Jun Group. “Their ability to bring top-tier brands to our platform enables us to deliver great value for some important causes. At the same time, advertisers can reach millions of consumers in a safe, positive environment.”
SSE is already driving 4-5 million monthly video views, and the platform will scale upward over time.
