Collective Media & OggiFinogi Launch Online Video Advertising Platform for TV
Marketers
Combines TV Ad Format with Online Scale, Targeting and Reporting



NEW YORK, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Collective Media, a leading media and
technology solutions company for display advertising, and OggiFinogi, a video
and rich media specialist, today launched an online video advertising platform
that gives TV marketers a scalable and measurable way to reach targeted
audiences on the Web. 

The interactive video ads will run on the Collective Network's premium
publisher sites, and will reach highly targeted audiences utilizing AMP,
Collective Media's proprietary targeting and reporting platform that contains
anonymous audience data on more than 165 million unique users in the United
States. OggiFinogi will provide custom creative ad development and previously
unavailable video engagement and view time reporting. 

"For the first time, this platform gives TV marketers a viable online
complement to their TV ad buys," said Joe Apprendi, Chief Executive Officer,
Collective Media. "OggiFinogi's highly interactive video ad format, combined
with Collective Network's demographic and behavioral targeting, gives
advertisers the audience reach they demand with measurable results and
actionable insights only available on the Web."

Advertisers can give viewers content options such as expanded video playlists,
branded webisodes, dynamic video feeds, slideshows, printable coupons and
video downloads. 

"Oggi's video units are not only flexible, but they are also proven to drive
consumer engagement in a way that TV ads can't," said Michael Hyman, CEO,
OggiFinogi.  "Together with Collective Network's industry leading technology
and premium scale, TV advertisers now have one complete solution to reach,
entertain and analyze key audiences online." 

Standard ad reporting includes reach and frequency by demo, DMA and
psychographic audience segments.  Video play and ad engagement metrics include
video plays, average view time, pauses, rewinds and ad interactions.
