AudienceScience Behaviorally Targets Video Advertising With Hulu
NEW YORK, NY, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
AudienceScience (formerly Revenue Science) announced today that it has
partnered with Hulu, an online video service that offers hit TV shows,
movies and clips at Hulu.com and other online destination sites -- all
for free, anytime in the U.S., to behaviorally target pure play video
ads, a first for the online advertising industry. AudienceScience's
sophisticated behavioral targeting technology enables the company to
improve its user experience by making the ads shown more relevant to each
viewer, as well as offer its advertisers a higher level of engagement and
return.
"Behavioral targeting has seen proven success in the realm of display
advertising, and with the rise of compelling video ads and online TV
viewership, applying the same advanced targeting technique to this channel
has exciting potential," said Jeff Hirsch, president and CEO of
AudienceScience. "Our ability to find the most accurate and targeted
audiences combined with Hulu's top-quality content and reach makes this an
ideal partnership to deliver relevant, compelling messages to consumers,
building brand affinity and driving revenue for advertisers."
According to a recent survey from audience tracker Integrated Media
Measurements Inc., 20 percent of primetime TV-watchers viewed some TV
shows online. Hulu's monthly viewership topped over 40 million users this
past April and continues to climb. Viewers become emotionally engaged
with TV, and as such, there is opportunity to reach them on that
emotional, personal level with online video ads and content. Behavioral
targeting offers the same personal connection between brands and
consumers online. This partnership presents tremendous opportunity for
advertisers to broaden their reach online and maximize their limited
online ad budget.
