Adap.tv and EyeWonder Join Forces to Seamlessly Connect High Quality Brand Advertisers With Prominent Online Video Publishers

Strategic Partnership Plays to the Complementary Strengths of Both Companies, Opening New Opportunities for Advertisers and Online Video Publishers

Adap.tv, creators of OneSource, the open and universal platform that helps publishers source and manage ads on their online video content, and EyeWonder, Inc., a leading innovator in interactive digital advertising technologies and services, today announced a strategic partnership that enables a powerful end-to-end video advertising solution.

The partnership provides strong benefits for both parties' valued customers. By integrating EyeWonder's Universal In-Stream Framework (UIF) into the Adap.tv OneSource ad management platform, brand advertisers will now be able to seamlessly reach Adap.tv's massive global community of over 300 video websites, with hundreds of millions of monthly video views in the US and 70+ countries. The UIF currently supports the IAB Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) guidelines and will support the IAB Video Player-Ad Interface Definition (VPAID) standards once they are released by the IAB. Advertisers gain the ability to create one ad that can run across multiple players, saving time spent on creative and getting ads faster to market. Adap.tv publishers benefit from receiving rich, truly interactive video ads from leading brands, without having to do any additional integration work. The partnership helps to improve content monetization while enriching the user experience, without the publisher needing to lift a finger.

"EyeWonder created the UIF to help drive scale within the in-stream advertising industry and give publishers a way to better monetize their video content by creating new advertising inventory to sell," said Michael Griffin, EyeWonder's Executive Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Development. "We're pleased to partner with Adap.tv, because integrating the UIF with their OneSource platform will ultimately drive meaningful results and revenue for publishers and advertisers."

EyeWonder's open-standard UIF allows publishers to deliver any interactive in-stream ad from any third-party rich media provider after a one-time integration with the site's video player platform. UIF works with any ad-serving provider and supports players built in Adobe® Flash®, Microsoft® Silverlight(TM) and Akamai's Media Framework.

"EyeWonder is a trusted leader in online advertising and we're proud to partner with them," said Amir Ashkenazi, founder and CEO of Adap.tv. "By expanding our open OneSource platform to include their innovative in-stream technology and highly interactive video formats, we look forward to bringing Adap.tv publishers great looking brand ads that captivate viewers while they enhance revenue, with a simplified solution."

Adap.tv OneSource lets online publishers source and manage ads from their in-house sales team or from video, display and text ad networks into their video content. The Adap.tv OneSource platform gives web publishers control over what ads they show and when and how they're shown, enabling them to balance revenue with user experience. To date, more than 300 websites have adopted Adap.tv OneSource, monetizing hundreds of millions of video views per month in the US and 70+ countries, directly serving more than 50 million unique users.
