TRAFFIQ Taps Oggifinogi as Preferred Video Ad Provider

NEW YORK, April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- TRAFFIQ® announced a partnership today with Oggifinogi, the video ad platform, which will enable its demand side customers to leverage the full range of rich media and video advertising on any campaign run through TRAFFIQ or the TRAFFIQ Trading Desk.

"Many of TRAFFIQ's agency customers are interested in leveraging the creative assets they have developed for broadcast campaigns, and repurpose them for digital advertising," said Chris O'Hara, who is the head of agency development for TRAFFIQ. "The partnership with Oggifinogi enables us to offer shops that need video ad capabilities a full suite of development services, and the ability to serve those ads seamlessly in guaranteed or real-time on any of our publishing partners that support in-banner and in-stream units."

Recently acquired by Collective, Oggifinogi has been providing highly interactive video advertising in both the banner and interactive pre roll space and is recognized for the significant interactive rates that its product drives.

Recent forecasts predict that online video advertising spending will increase by over 40% during the next two years. The increased quality of web-based video, the growth in data transmission speeds, and a large growth in online video viewership have increased the focus on video-based advertising units in general.

"We are delighted that we can offer our full suite of rich media services to TRAFFIQ's demand side customers," said Michael Hyman, Oggifinogi CEO. "Combining a great workflow tool like TRAFFIQ with the powerful engagement our ads deliver is a winning formula for agencies looking to provide brand lift and strengthen response rates."
