Product Description
Visible Measures specializes in measuring the consumption and distribution of Internet video. Designed from the ground up to meet the unique needs of video publishers and advertisers, our patent-pending measurement approach captures all end-user video clicks – from play to pause to rewind to forward-to-a-friend and more. These complete, detailed data provide organizations with unprecedented visibility into online video audiences and how they engage -- or don’t -- with content assets, Web-based distribution, and advertising placements.
Market Opportunity
Today, consuming Internet video is a mainstream activity for connected U.S. consumers. Forrester projects video advertising spending will grow from $471 million (2007) to more than $7.1 billion (2012). Accordingly, Visible Measures estimates Internet video measurement investment will grow from $14 million (2007) to $1.1 billion by 2012.
DEMO Says
One aspect of the online video world we don’t hear enough about is measurement. Views are the easy part; understanding exactly how users interact with your video is an entirely different nut to crack. Measuring what they call instream behavior, Visible Measures aims to usher in a new wave of advertising online, with a set of analytics that could fundamentally change how video is presented to us on the Web. Whether you view that as a positive or a negative depends on who signs your paychecks.
