"Digital video can be used to find additional exposure opportunities for many of the most highly coveted TV audiences. Sports viewers, or those who watch political programs are two great examples. Whether you're trying to gain incremental reach, or to add frequency outside the limited exposure high-impact TV events, audience-based video buys offer a complementary solution," said Scott Ferber, Founder and CEO, Videology.
