Incremental Mobile

The solution has been developed in partnership with Mail.Ru Group and Tiburon.

It is designed to place video advertising effectively in terms of reaching the target audience on different devices.

The main goal is to minimize possible overlap between desktop and mobile audiences. Analysis of advertising campaigns based on Incremental Mobile shows that the tool reduces advertising costs in all cases.

Addressable TV

Today’s consumers are used to watching video on different screens, in different environments and at completely different times. This means not only an individual approach to the choice of content, but also a diverse range of access devices. At the same time, it is vital for advertisers to be sure their message can be delivered efficiently to the target group via all channels and forms available, while remaining within an integrated framework such as a procurement model or a results assessment model.

ADV Lab solution facilitates the purchasing of advertising inventory on Smart TV based on ratings points (CPP model).
The project partners are Yandex and online-cinema ivi.

AdReal

AdReal Exclusive Data on online advertising has been developed in partnership with Polish company Gemius, which specializes in measuring online audiences. AdReal measures online advertising in qualitative and quantitative terms including: reach; quantity of views; audience socio-demographics; share of active views; viewing length, etc.
