ONE by AOL is the video advertising platform of choice for the world’s largest brands, agencies, publishers and ad networks. A unified, programmatic platform that provides buyers and sellers with automated tools to plan, buy and measure across linear TV and online video, ONE by AOL is transforming the way video advertising is bought and sold. ONE by AOL is part of the AOL Platforms group of companies.
We are in the midst of a tectonic shift in how people view Television content -- sight, sound, and motion delivered on small (and not-so-small) screens. Television remains an incredibly powerful medium; for advertisers, it has an unparalleled ability to reach enormous audiences with a full screen 30-second high definition narrative. TV advertisements have the power to make people laugh, to tell a story, and to help them remember a brand. TV is a demand generation engine.
With this power comes a great responsibility. TV advertising has to demonstrate its value at an increasingly accurate level; it has to enable capturing the massive demand it generates across channels; it has to be responsive; and it has to be data-driven. Programmatic TV brings the best of media industry and knowledge together with large-scale data to enable advertisers to use television as a precise marketing instrument.
The proliferation of ways to access TV content and the availability of detailed data, such as second-by-second set-top-box (STB) viewing behavior, combine to make this an exciting opportunity to revolutionize a $70 billion industry. And who is central to this oncoming revolution in television ad technology? ONE by AOL.
