Videology Introduces Unified Video Planning and Management for Both Reservation-based and RTB Buying Strategies within Single Platform

-- "Descartes" Release Addresses the Needs of Both Linear TV and Digital Buyers as Video Campaigns for Brand Advertisers Continue to Migrate Across Devices

NEW YORK, July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Videology—the leading video advertising platform provider for advertisers, agencies and publishers—announced today the official launch of its reengineered platform. With its latest product release, dubbed "Descartes," Videology's platform now brings together the worlds of TV and digital buyers by allowing access to both programmatic guaranteed buying technology—similar to traditional TV buying—and a suite of bid management tools for open and private exchanges across screens and devices.

The release is designed to help solve one of the industry's greatest equations—finding the optimal mix between reserved and non-reserved media to drive optimal efficiency across computer, tablet and mobile devices for brand advertisers.

"The objectives of brand advertisers—television's biggest spenders—have not changed, but video consumption patterns have. It's imperative that advertising technology keeps pace with these changes," said Scott Ferber, Chairman and CEO, Videology. "By bridging planning and buying mechanisms of traditional media with those of digital, our platform allows brand advertisers to leverage the best of both to better achieve their desired results."
