Ad Supported Video On Demand A S LISTING DIRECTORY A COLLABORATIVE ALLIANCE COMPENDIUM SUMMER 2012
Mission To create an agnostic, work in progress directory of ad supported video on demand channels to be made available to the media community (planners, buyers, marketers, researchers and content providers) for the purpose of generating a single source reference to help build awareness of the vast array of participating programmers and opportunities for marketers. Future iterations of this work in progress directory will include content provider contact information, more robust descriptions of the channel listings, and hopefully transactional data. As previously mentioned, this directory will be made available to the media community as a resource. We are reaching out to members of the media community in the hope that they will house the document on their sites and make its content available to their constituency through whatever means they deem efficacious. To date, the following companies have agreed to house the directory: - 4A s (www.aaaa.org/news/agency/documents/adsupportedvoddirectory.pdf) - AdMonsters (www.admonsters.com/research) - MediaOcean (www.mediaocean.com/industry)) - Rentrak (rentrak.com/downloads/ca/adsupportedvoddirectory.pdf) For more information, please contact: Mitch Oscar Collaborative Alliance Mitch.oscar@mpg.com 845.277.6045 2
