SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 01/17/12 — BrightRoll, the leading provider of digital video advertising services, today announced that it became the first ad network to exceed 100 million unique viewers, according to the most recent comScore Video Metrix in December 2011. According to the data, BrightRoll reached more than 110.4 million unique U.S. viewers, with an average of 7.9 videos per viewer. Additionally, the company-s data shows it managed 3.5 billion video ads in December, representing one out of every two U.S. video ads.
“We are thrilled to be the first video network to surpass the 100 million unique viewers milestone,” said Tod Sacerdoti, BrightRoll CEO. “We believe this continued dominance by video networks versus legacy broadcast publishers maps directly to the movement of ad dollars from broadcasters to aggregators.”
BrightRoll is ranked as the top online video advertising property in December 2011 with 110.4 million video ad-exposed unique viewers, while Specific Media ranked second with 81.8 million. Adap.tv was third with 81.1 million viewers, followed by Videology with 56.6 million viewers and Tremor Video with 56 million viewers. More than 7 billion video ads ran in December, averaging 19.3 minutes per viewer.
*A video is defined as any streamed segment of audiovisual content, (both progressive downloads and live streams). For long-form, segmented content, (e.g. television episodes with ad pods in the middle) each segment of the content is counted as a distinct video stream.
Video advertising networks and aggregators continued to gain market share by serving more than 5.5 billion video ads in December 2011, representing more than 77 percent of total U.S. video ads. This represents a 22 percentage point increase in share of video ads served year over year by networks versus publishers.
December represents the ninth straight month when BrightRoll reached a greater number of U.S. unique viewers with video ads than Hulu, ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC combined.
