– AdSparc AMP Video Unit Case Study –
AMP Video Outperforms Display by 58% for a European Pub
The publisher is a fast-growing Formula 1 and motorsport news website with millions of engaged monthly readers in Europe.
Problem Definition: Growing AMP page views with a marginal increase in AMP revenue due to:
- Monetisation limited to display units
- No AMP-compatible video unit added on AMP pages
Requirements: To identify a way to increase revenue by adding an AMP-compatible video player, similar to what’s achievable on the standard web.
AdSparc Solution Implemented:
- Replacing a standard 300*250 display unit with AdSparc AMP-optimised video player.
- Bringing in additional demand through the player via header bidding.
- Utilize a Display secondary ad unit, when the video doesn’t fill the auction
Results:
- Video typically sells at higher rates and as a consequence, Sold CPM saw a drastic increase of 24%,
- Interestingly, the overall ad unit fill rate was also higher by 22%, as the AdSparc solution features a secondary display unit when a Video Pre-roll doesn’t win the auction.
- This meant an overall jump of 51% in overall Ad Unit RPM and a Revenue Boost of 58%
