Rocket Fuel Featured in eMarketer Reports on Programmatic Video Advertising

Rocket Fuel (NASDAQ: FUEL), a leading programmatic marketing platform provider that uses artificial intelligence (AI) at Big Data scale to optimize marketing ROI for global agencies and enterprise marketers, today announced that the company’s perspective and vision was featured in a recently released report from eMarketer, “Video Advertising Benchmarks: What Metrics Can (and Can’t) Tell You About the Big Picture.” Rocket Fuel’s industry view was also profiled in eMarketer’s “Marketer Roundtable: How is Social Affecting Metrics for Video Advertising?”

Increasingly, the digital advertising community is turning to video to reach larger audiences across platforms, and programmatic technology has become the primary means of serving those ads. With this shift has come the need to set agreed-upon standards for ad viewability and other benchmarks. Get more on this topic with the full eMarketer report, “Video Advertising Benchmarks: What Metrics Can (and Can’t) Tell You About the Big Picture.”

In addition, as in-stream video on social platforms continues to rise, Rocket Fuel’s Lindsay Fordham, Director of Product Marketing, participated in an eMarketer Roundtable to offer her perspective on how social is affecting metrics for video advertising. “As marketers evaluate how social fits into their video strategy, it’s important to consider the unique context differences of each platform. While overall viewability and engagement may be high, the creative experience may vary widely when compared to an in-stream pre-roll. Fortunately, social platforms generate deep diagnostics, giving us the ability to optimize social performance in real time and at scale.”
