The AOP represents UK companies that create original, branded, quality content online. BrightRoll, one of the largest video networks in the UK, is a strong partner to publishers with innovative offerings in interactive pre-roll, social sharing features and mobile video.
Léon Siotis (pictured), director, media & publisher services of BrightRoll says, “We are excited to join the AOP. Video is the fastest growing area in online advertising, and we are encouraged that the AOP’s Census earlier this year shows 49 per cent of its publisher members are looking to increase video partnerships this year. With our experience, BrightRoll is well placed to help publishers leverage the online video medium more effectively to engage users and grow advertising revenue. The AOP provides the best forum for publishers to discuss the changes that are occurring in the video marketplace. We look forward to contributing to that conversation.”
Lee Baker, director of AOP, adds, "We are pleased to welcome BrightRoll as an associate member to the AOP, with their expertise in the online and mobile video sector. By bringing a comprehensive range of businesses and technologies to the association, we support publishers to innovate and develop their businesses; and help them to explore new sources of revenue generation."
“Research is a priority for BrightRoll as it has committed more than US$1 million to support the education of, and promote discussion around, digital video in the industry. We believe the AOP shares these goals and we plan to work together to offer additional insights to their publisher members,” Léon Siotis concludes.
