First Skippable Interactive TV Ad for Lexus Launches on adRise
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) August 21, 2014 -- Team One and adRise Inc, the largest Connected TV content distribution and monetization platform, today announced the airing of their first interactive TV advertising campaign produced for Lexus that mirrors online ad-skipping technology and completion rate models. The campaign ran from June 2 - July 13, 2014 promoting the Lexus LS and its newest innovations.
The skippable unit, “ClearSpot” by adRise, consisted of both a :15 sec and :30 sec skippable TV spot that ran on more than 15 Connected TV platforms including Roku, XBox 360, and Amazon Fire TV. Team One also ran another multi-asset interactive ad unit, where the user could telescope into a two minute “Behind The Scenes” video with Artist Giles Revell. Team One produced the spots that ran on adRise’s ad product.
“We’re now facing an age where brands are increasingly expecting the same viewing flexibility and proof of performance from television advertising as they do from any online marketing campaign,” said Teri Hill, Lexus media manager. “adRise’s CTV ad platform offers viewers the ad skipping flexibility they want while offering clients a web-like pay-for-performance model--all with the brand benefits of TV interactivity.”
Despite the skipping feature, the Lexus interactive TV ad achieved a 73 percent completion rate.
“It’s time that the TV model caught up to online advertising where users can skip ads and clients only pay for performance,” said Farhad Massoudi, CEO of adRise, Inc. “We think this campaign proves there are compelling reasons to continue advertising on the bigger screen.”
Lexus leads the development of interactive campaigns on Connected TV devices. This is the second campaign in two years where Team One has partnered with adRise on behalf of its Lexus client to deliver unique connected TV in-stream ad products.
