Drawbridge and Teads Activate Premium Outstream Video Inventory Across Devices


San Mateo, CA, USA – WEBWIRE

Drawbridge, the leading anonymized digital identity company, and Teads, the inventor of outstream video and the No. 1 video advertising marketplace in the world, today announced an integration that allows brands and agencies to take advantage of premium programmatic video inventory on both desktop and mobile devices.

Drawbridge’s Cross-Device Platform leverages Teads’ inRead, an outstream video advertising format developed for desktop and mobile devices. Teads’ inRead format places video ads within editorial content and plays only when viewable, allowing users to skip the video if they do not want to watch it. By sitting outside of the traditional video player, inRead dramatically increases the amount of premium video advertising inventory available.

“Video is among the fastest growing digital ad formats, and since it has such incredible potential for driving awareness and engagement on both mobile and desktop, it is a major area of interest for us to invest in for our clients,” said Drawbridge Head of Supply Acquisition, Mark Granger. “Teads is a clear innovator in the space, and we know our advertiser clients will enjoy having access to this outstream format for their cross-device campaigns, not just on desktop and mobile web, but in-app as well.”

“Our goal is to enable brands and agencies to leverage premium video inventory at scale for their digital campaigns, and this mission fits nicely with Drawbridge’s objectives to enhance performance at scale for their platform customers,” said Todd Tran, Global SVP Mobile and Programmatic, Teads. “Our unique outstream video formats instantly transform any editorial page on any device into premium video inventory, and we’re excited to give Drawbridge clients this tool to drive consumer awareness and engagement.”

With the ability to seamlessly reach consumers across devices, Drawbridge offers advertisers the ideal campaign management platform to set up, launch, and measure cross-device marketing initiatives. This self-service product suite provides an accurate and transparent means of connecting with consumers and measuring results across all of the devices they love, including computers, smartphones, tablets, and connected TVs.
