Rocket Fuel、データセンターのEquinixとVideoプラットフォームBrightRollが提供する「VideoRTB+ 」と接続
Equinix, Inc. (EQIX), the global interconnection and data center company, together with BrightRoll, the largest independent video advertising platform, today announced that Rocket Fuel is leveraging the BrightRoll VideoRTB+ solution on Platform Equinix to improve the ability of buyers to successfully bid on video ad inventory.
Highlights / Key Facts
Earlier this year, BrightRoll launched VideoRTB+, the fastest real-time bidding (RTB) solution in the digital video advertising industry, which is available only inside Equinix data centers. BrightRoll worked with demand-side platform (DSP) leader Rocket Fuel to test changes in ad response rates using VideoRTB+ instead of a public network connection. The companies measured a significant improvement in the ability of buyers to successfully bid on video ad inventory-raising the successful bid rate by 48 percent.
BrightRoll created the industry’s first ultra-low-latency video advertising solution by building on Equinix’s Ad-IX platform instead of public networks for its ad exchange traffic. Doing so helped BrightRoll achieve impressive gains, including:
80 percent reduction in RTB network latency
More than 10 percent reduction in average bid response time
48 percent increase in successful ad bid rates
Revenue gain from higher transaction volumes on the exchange
BrightRoll deployed its BrightRoll Exchange (BRX) in Equinix data centers to take advantage of the facilities’ broad range of direct connections to high-speed networks and advertising industry partners. Today, BrightRoll operates the world’s largest independent video advertising platform, powering digital video advertising for the world’s largest brands, including 90 percent of the top 50 U.S. advertisers and 17 of the top 20 advertising technology companies.
Rocket Fuel delivers the only programmatic media-buying platform at big data scale that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to improve marketing ROI. Rocket Fuel’s Advertising That Learns technology powered 894 advertisers in 2012, and empowers media teams to focus on strategy, not spreadsheets.
The Equinix Ad-IX ecosystem enables efficiencies in the digital advertising market, which is evolving from traditional ad purchasing to include ad exchanges that help buyers match inventory to viewers in real-time.
