"A cross-screen solution plays a vital role in our tech stack," said Laurel Boyd, VP, Group Digital Media Director at Mediahub. "It ensures that all of the effort we put into brand-building through high-impact creative reaches the right audience at the right time and in the right place.

Mediahub has already launched several successful campaigns with Tapad.

Following are examples of campaign results for VH1 and National Geographic Channel:

• VH1 launched a video-only, cross-device campaign to promote awareness of their new reality show, Walk of Shame Shuttle. On a 1:1 basis for the individual, the campaign served media across multiple devices to a targeted audience of women age 18-24 that are interested in nightlife. Mediahub and Tapad achieved a video completion rate of 81% to drive successful brand awareness to audiences likely interested in the show's content.
• National Geographic Channel launched a cross-device campaign to promote buzz and tune-in for the third season of their survival competition series Ultimate Survival Alaska.
