Boston, MA – August 11, 2009
ExtendMedia Corp., the leading independent provider of enterprise-class, multi-screen video management software, today announced several new members of its comprehensive Advertising Partner Program, which includes many of the premier video advertising companies. The program provides pre-built integrations with leading broadband video ad servers and ad networks, access to sophisticated measurement and analytics capabilities and a network of partners with unmatched domain expertise and capabilities.
Online video has exploded in the last few years as media and communications companies have leveraged the medium to drive new revenue streams and strengthen their customer relationships. According to Nielsen, 134 million American consumers viewed more than 10 billion online videos streams during the month of June 2009 and mobile video consumption grew 52% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the previous year. As consumers increasingly expect multi-screen access to their favorite content, it is clear that advertising and measurement solutions must integrate seamlessly and evolve together to meet these demands.
“To run a successful digital media business, companies must often bring best-of-breed technology platforms and partners together, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changing market demands,” said Tom MacIsaac, CEO of ExtendMedia. “ExtendMedia’s Advertising Partner Program reduces the friction in that process by introducing a network of partners who have invested the time to validate their compatibility and, in many instances, have worked together on successful customer integrations. This allows our customers to easily tap a variety of advertising capabilities to find the best mix of solutions that meet their business objectives.”
