How OnScroll can help optimise the true value of advertising real estate
OnScroll will feature on the FIPP London Start-up Tour, which will allow you to get up close and personal with the London media and digital scene and introduce you to leaders in the industry.
Andy Evans, co-founder of OnScroll took the time to speak to FIPP about OnScroll, the importance of programmatic advertising and how this can improve a publishers advertising strategy, ahead of his appearance at FIPP’s London Start-up Tour.
As co-founder, what encouraged the creation of OnScroll?
I ran a publishing company that I sold to Future plc – so as a publisher, I know the demands that publishers face from buyers. I want to give publishers the ability to proactively answer issues such as viewability and engagement.
What is the main aim of OnScroll?
To assist publishers to optimise the true value of their advertising real estate, through solving issues such as viewability and engagement.
How does OnScroll improve magazine media publishers advertising strategy?
OnScroll proactively resolves viewability for publishers – so we hold back the load of an ad impression until it has the optimum opportunity to be seen. This means that publishers can now add inventory anywhere on a page, in the knowledge that their ads will only load when they are InView. Viewable only ads are being demanded by buyers and viewable ads can garner a premium above non-guaranteed viewable.
As a result, publishers have seen an upside of around +18 per cent more inventory and revenue from this inventory x2 more than seen on standard RTB. OnScroll also offers the ability to monetise this new InView inventory on our Viewable Exchange, therefore generating a publisher immediate revenue upside from the new inventory created.
What makes OnScroll different from other ad technology companies?
Our solutions always bat for the publisher. We help publishers make optimal decisions before an ad is even loaded to ensure that publishers deliver higher value ads and immediately earn more revenue as a result.
What is the importance of programmatic advertising for magazine media publishers?
It’s been coming for a while and is not going away.
92 per cent of buyers have already adopted programmatic buyers – publisher adoption is slower at 61 per cent, so publishers need to tap into this new buying path or they will see a massive dent in their YOY revenues.
How does OnScroll measure the impact of online advertising?
Our focus is to assist publishers in revenue upside solutions. We do this through constantly measuring and monitoring the needs of the buy side, in turn creating solutions, which proactively deliver premium inventory to buyers, thereby creating a win-win for seller and buyer.
Why are you excited about appearing on the FIPP London Start-up tour?
