In today’s media landscape, consumers are becoming more accustomed to accessing news content online for free. And publishers have responded by serving ads as a way to earn revenue. But there is a downside to this type of monetization strategy: ad fatigue. According to recent research, 47 percent of internet users around the world use an ad blocker, making it increasingly difficult to achieve a high ad viewability rate.
As such, it’s critical for publishers to develop a monetization strategy that empowers them to combat ad fatigue, while also maximizing their advertising revenue and retaining a desirable roster of advertiser clients—who have a vast range of media outlets to choose from. Here’s where video advertising comes in. Whether you start with simple pre-roll ads or get a little more creative with options like sponsored content, video advertising offers a variety of revenue opportunities through which you can deliver a non-intrusive ad experience and stand out from your competitors.
