Video ads are a key revenue driver for streaming TV providers, but when ads fail to play or buffer, the potential negative impact to viewers is daunting. Conviva’s early data shows nearly 50% of streaming video ads may not reach the end user if publishers don’t monitor, capture, and address the many issues along the ad delivery chain.
Over 3 percent of video ads simply fail to play due to faulty creative. When ad playback is delayed, viewer content abandonment jumps by over 50%. Ad blockers also continue to plague video ads with blockers stopping up to 40% of traffic. Given the $12 billion global video ad market size, these issues represent a sizable threat to the bottom line for publishers. Reliable, comprehensive analysis of in-stream video ads is needed to understand which ads are failing and troubleshoot issues to maximize quality, engagement, and monetization.
