Unicorn ONCE™ is a patented technology solution that allows video publishers to deliver their content to any Internet-connected device with one simple step, then simultaneously allows for dynamic ad insertion and analytics across these same platforms.  Similarly, Unicorn ONCE™ allows ad platforms like TidalTV to greatly reduce the complexity of managing and delivering ad inventory by allowing them to upload their ad content one time, then dynamically target ads in real-time across every platform.   

"TidalTV has the dual responsibility of helping our publishing partners optimize their inventory across the spectrum of emerging, multi-screen platforms, while also ensuring that our advertisers have the tools necessary to follow consumers across the many devices on which they now watch video," said Kevin Haley, Chief Scientist, TidalTV. "Partnering with Unicorn Media, a leader in multi-screen video delivery and analytics, has helped us achieve both of these important objectives at scale."

Together, Unicorn's modular suite of workflow optimization tools, including its technology platform Unicorn ELEMENTS, analytics tool Unicorn VISION™, and multi-screen ad targeting and analytics technology Unicorn ONCE™ make the distribution of content to any IP-enabled device less time consuming and less expensive, enabling content owners to cut cost and maximize profitability.

"Tidal TV is an excellent example of the way in which Unicorn ONCE™ creates opportunities for monetizing content," Bill Rinehart, Founder and CEO, Unicorn Media. "Our customers can seamlessly distribute their ad and video content via a single URL to any Internet-connected device, dynamically insert ads on-the-fly, and analyze all their content on any platform. We've not only given them the ability to distribute content more easily and efficiently, we've also enabled them to monetize that content on any device."
