Videology finds 4 out of 5 U.S. Video Campaigns Now Run Cross-screenNEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Videology – a leading software provider for converged TV and video advertising – found that advertisers' use of cross-screen video campaigns continues to climb.

In contrast, during the same period in 2014, only 35% of online video ad campaigns appeared on more than one type of device. Specifically, in Q3 2015, half of all campaigns ran ads that were shown on PC, Mobile and OTT (over the top). "Instead of thinking in terms of device planning, advertisers are focusing on the consumer, and using data to reach audiences wherever they are consuming content. It's all about finding the right mix of screens to deliver the best outcomes for a given brand," said Scott Ferber, Videology Chairman and CEO. "If anyone questions whether cross-screen planning is delivering better results, one need only look at the trend trajectory. Advertisers flock to strategies that work." The analysis also found that advertisers are increasingly using data strategies beyond traditional demo targeting to reach their audiences. Among the most commonly used data sets in Q3 were geo targeting (72% of all campaigns), behavioral targeting (68%) and domain targeting (50%). However, one of the fastest growing ways advertisers are reaching their audiences is by using coss-screen TV viewing data, which has grown 106% year-over-year. By using TV data segments, advertisers can target audiences through digital video based on their TV viewing habits. Advertisers can also create custom data segments, for example, to reach audiences who were unexposed or underexposed to a brand's ad on TV, or to target audiences based on their exposure to a competitor's TV ad. In the third quarter, 20% of all TV segments used were custom-created. Other key findings from the third quarter analysis of Videology's platform include:
