The Comcast AdDelivery service and Adstream, a global provider of digital ad distribution solutions, are offering up a global ad delivery platform targeting the needs of global brands. A simplified platform will provide advertisers a fast method for managing and distributing video assets over the industry’s most expansive international ad delivery network. This combination of reach and capability supports the global marketer with visibility, control, reporting and management of advertising asset distribution.
Adstream delivers over two million assets per year to more than 106 countries, storing all assets in the company’s Adbank utility. The joint relationship will now allow global brand managers to receive reports in real-time, showcasing assets on one digital system, while giving visibility of all activity across global markets. Adstream is currently the only company that provides direct distribution to Latin America, Europe, Asia and Australia-New Zealand, and now in conjunction with Comcast AdDelivery it will also offer distribution to the US.
“Since our launch, we have strived to be on the forefront of ad distribution technology. While we have grown substantially over the last decade, this relationship will give us the opportunity to tap the U.S. market for further growth,” stated Gerry Sutton, CEO of Adstream. “We’ll now be able to assist our global clients in managing their assets in the U.S., as well as helping to expand American brands to international markets. We are excited to be in a unique position to offer this to the market.”
Capable of delivering tens of thousands of HD and SD ads per day, with orders often sent within less than two hours, Comcast AdDelivery currently provides ad distribution for over 10,000 national, regional and local advertisers. Comcast AdDelivery uses Comcast’s 100G fiber backbone for rapid delivery of HD and SD ads electronically to media destinations across the US and parts of Canada. Its footprint encompasses the majority of US broadcast and cable networks, local broadcast stations, cable and other MVPDs, radio stations, and online video web publishers.
“Our team is excited to get involved with expanding distribution to international markets utilizing Comcast’s industry leading fiber network. Our clients will now be able to distribute ads across the world using a simplified platform” stated Todd Porch, VP/GM, Comcast AdDelivery. “We have been committed to growing this integral part of our business over the past year and believe this showcases our commitment to provide a global ad distribution system.”
