5. Introducing the In-Stream Takeover
High impact in-stream unit with functions
similar to the Polite Pre-Roll®. Enables
marketers to deliver a brand message
within the video stream that is either static
or interactive, and does not need to include
a video message. Similar in size and
proportions to a 336x280 banner ad.
While In-Stream Takeover still represents a
In-Stream Takeover small percentage of overall video ads, it is
expected that this format will continue to
grow in popularity with marketers.

9. About the AdoTube In-Stream Ad Format Index
AdoTube serves ads on thousands of publishers sites, serving 75 MM to 125MM in-video ad
impressions per week.
This format index provides an overview of the effectiveness of our many different in-stream
video ad formats over 2009, 2010 and Q1-Q3 2011.
Process:
We collected and analyzed data from a sample of over 6.5 Billion impressions deemed to be
statistically relevant, taking advertising verticals, video content and targeting technique into
account. This was then split into four distinct categories:
• Branded Overlay
• Interactive Overlay
• Standard Pre-Roll
• Polite Pre-Roll®
Additionally, we broke these results out over 17 verticals to analyze performance on an industry
by industry basis.
The following data points are based on results derived from the AdoTube Network only and do
not represent the in-stream ad space as whole.
