Smartclip Launches Multi-Screen Video Platform

Europe’s leading online video advertising network has unveiled its multi-screen video advertising platform allowing advertisers, for the first time, to use the same ad format on a number of devices, including PCs, smartphones, connected TVs and games consoles, increasing reach and impact of campaigns.
Sam Kayum, Managing Director of Smartclip UK commented: "Multi-screen is set to have a tremendous impact on the market, enabling advertisers and planners to make their campaigns go further. This will help to increase the uptake of online video advertising and will help to position us at the forefront of innovation in the market." 

Smartclip has also signed a deal with Otto, Germany's leading mail-order company, which has premiered a standardised format for video advertising on portable devices including PCs, Samsung, Philips and Panasonic connected TV, and gaming consoles such as the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable.
The cutting-edge campaign will allow Otto to tap into new channels in its advertising campaigns and to react to the changing consumption of media by a younger Internet-savvy target group.

Stefanie Gauger, Director for Brand and Client Communication at Otto said: "Many young people are now naturally consuming video online, on smartphones, gaming consoles or via TV so it is essential that we engage with our target audience and address them online as that is where they are. With this multi-screen campaign we have once again demonstrated our innovative approach and are sure that this is just one of many milestones in tomorrow's brand communication."


Roland Schaber, Chief Operating Officer of smartclip added: "In the age of personalisation, our research shows users are more engaged with content they have selected themselves. This means that advertising is more readily accepted and helps to boost the overall effectiveness of the campaign. Our multi-screen offering is the key to unlocking this potential and we look forward to working with clients across Europe and the US to enhance their online campaigns."
