Already in use by the automotive ad industry, Affine-s Contextual Targeting Platform analyzes online videos frame-by-frame, looking for objects, logos and situations with relevance to the auto industry. So, with access to the first-ever automotive online video channel, advertisers can drive confidently into their online video buys and throw the next wave of video advertising into high gear.
“Until now, automotive advertisers wanting to go beyond major network sites had to do so without clarity into what they were buying, “said Matt Tillman, VP Product at Affine. “Our technology works at scale, using in-stream data to apply broadcast advertising best practices throughout an online video campaign.” This opens up 90% of existing online video to advertising that is relevant, appropriate, and effective. And for an industry whose advertising dollars continue to shift away from national offline advertising into the online arena, owning the web-based video environment through contextual video advertising is more important than ever for both conquest and retention advertising.
