New Jivox Tool Inserts Ads Into Live Streaming Events
A new tool from Jivox, a video advertising technology company, allows video ads to be inserted inside live
streaming events -- which has long been a challenging area for marketers. The new solution allows ads to be
inserted directly into HTTP live streaming events viewed through mobile and apps using HLS video.
"Viewers are increasingly accessing broadcast content from multiple devices and this requires a seamless approach
to advertising," said Diaz Nesamoney, CEO of Jivox. "With our platform advertisers are guaranteed that their
interactive video ad can be seen by their targeted audience no matter what screen they are watching. This extends
the reach and engagement of their TV ad buy." – Online Video Daily

Every person
successful in business or life, you will find an ability to influence (sell)
others on their ideas. Wouldn’t it be great if you knew what successful
people know or don’t know? Wouldn’t it be great if you knew all their success
strategies and more? For instance, if you knew the universal formula for
negotiations, you’d be more successful, right? You could then take any
area of your life as it is currently, decide where you want to be, and
practically achieve your goals one-by-one! You’ll have the critical
points you need to know to ensure your dreams become a reality
and get what you want, and deserve, NOW!
