This document discusses speed and video advertising. It notes that speed matters for video online as users will abandon slower loading sites. It then summarizes AppNexus' progress in video technology over the past 6 months or less for both buy-side and sell-side clients. For buyers, it improved metrics like reach, CTR, and costs. For sellers, it expanded its video engineering and won deals from Google and Facebook. It invites publishers to join its video monetization revolution by breaking the speed barrier with techniques like pre-caching video ads.

Speaking Notes:
If there is one descriptor to separate AppNexus video from everyone else – it is speed.
Speed is a critical determinant to digital video success.
Video uses the power of sight, sound and motion to trigger emotional engagement.
For me, that engagement was intensely personal. The first time I watched a digital video clip on a personal computer it was complete and total magic. I wasn’t just watching video play from a hard drive, I had just invented with a small team what would eventually become the QuickTime video player now on hundreds of millions of Macs and Windows machines, and downloaded billions of times.
Video’s incredible ability to trigger engagement only matters if your audience see’s your message - if you don’t reach today’s viewer instantly – your opportunity disappears.
Every incremental one-second buffering delay for video playback results in a six percent increase in abandonment rate.
If your video content takes an average of 5 second to load – you’ve already lost over a quarter of your potential audience – all before the first second of your video begins…
Without near-instant access to content, today’s fickle, hyper-connected, short attention-spanned consumer will thumb to the next readily available mobile app or web content experience.
Marketers know this – and require similar speed – and more seamless user experiences - before they are willing to shift increasing amounts of traditional TV spend to digital.
Speed is also a great descriptor of our video product delivery timeline.
Since the launch of our video technology [7] months ago - we have moved at an accelerated speed to build powerful, programmable video buying capabilities for advertisers:
[Potential video or video endemic features to highlight]:
Omni-channel support
Deals Support
Creative Hosting [buy side]
Video pacing optimization
Video Viewability [add speakers note re: Alpha status]
Video Log Level Data
Advanced Video Reporting – player size, domain, playback method, etc.
Today, over 643 brands across nearly 6,000 campaigns, 127 buyers, 3929 creatives are powerfully leveraging APN video to achieve their brand and direct response objectives. [update #s for summit]
As a testament to sustained momentum, buy-side video has demonstrated average quarterly growth of 82% since launch.
