Just send your video once to Atlas, and we’ll handle the rest so you don’t have to work with multiple publishers. Finally, because we host, serve and track all your ads in one place, you can stop patching together a lot of separate spreadsheets. One report, and you’re done.

Q&A Time

What is in-stream video?

Picture a TV commercial, only it’s not on TV. It’s online, and it runs within online video content that websites offer to site visitors free of charge—like a streaming TV show, or a news clip. An in-stream video could be placed pre-roll (before the video), mid-roll (during) or post-roll (after). Your users are expecting video con-tent, have their audio turned on, and are less likely to be distracted. Also, unlike television commercials, most video publishers don’t allow users to skip ads which means fewer wasted impressions and more user engage-ment. In addition, every in-stream video is tracked, so your media spend is more efficient.

Isn’t that the same as in-page video?

No, sorry, you have the wrong num-ber. In-page video is video inside a banner ad. With in-page video, the user can click, and interact. However, it’s very difficult to get a user to click on the ad at all; whereas, in-stream video is part of the video experience.

How do I know how my in-stream ads are performing?

First of all, Atlas’ Brand Exposure Duration (BXD) metric will tell you how long users are watching your video content. Secondly, Atlas offers the perfect companion for a video ad—an ad adjacent to your stream-ing video on the same web page. The “companion ad” is available in every format. It offers limitless rich media possibilities. It reinforces your message and—here it comes to save the day—it accurately tracks clicks, interactions and conversions.
