In-Stream Video Ads

Full screen. Zero escape. Pure attention.

Your ad plays inside the video — before, during, or after — when viewers are locked in and nothing else is competing for their attention. No banner blindness, no scroll-past. Just your message, full screen, and a captive audience.

What Are In-Stream Video Ads?

In-stream video ads refer to advertisements playing inside a video player, so they appear either before (pre-roll), during (mid-roll), or after (post-roll) the video content the user is viewing.

These ad formats are highly effective in digital advertising since they seamlessly become part of the viewing experience.

Here are a few reasons why advertisers choose in-stream video ads:

Users are mentally present during video watching Completion and engagement rates are usually high Compatible with mobile, desktop, and connected devices Offers both skippable and non-skippable ad formats Pricing flexibility: CPM and CPC models

Video Content That Really Captures Attention

Most formats vie for attention while video completely takes possession of it.

Users already concentrating on content when watching videos. In-stream advertisements place your communication right into that moment — thereby making this format one of the most high-attention formats available in digital advertising.

Hence, in-stream video is very capable of delivering superior engagement and completion rates compared to traditional display formats.

Reacheffect spreads video ads via a combination of push and display network inventories — thus allowing you to reach audiences at scale beyond traditional platforms like YouTube.

Expanded Video Inventory Free From Platform Restrictions

In-stream video ads can be played beyond a single platform.

Reacheffect obtains video resources from both push and display networks — in a way similar to what ad networks like AdSense do by distributing ads across thousands of websites and applications.

This leads to:

A daily visitor volume of more than 10M Global access to multiple GEOs Not dependent on closed ecosystems Quick campaign initiation and expansion

As the suggested bids hover around $0.04, in-stream video is turning into an inexpensive method to test and grow video campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are in-stream video ads?

In-stream video ads are advertisements running within a video player either before, during, or after the video content the user is viewing.

Pre-roll is a video ad that plays before the main video starts, mid-roll is an ad that interrupts the video playback, and post-roll is the ad that comes after the video has ended.

Based on your campaign objectives, Reacheffect provides CPM (cost per thousand impressions) and CPC (cost per click).

Usually, bidding starts at about $0.04, which makes it quite affordable for campaign testing and scaling.

Traffic is derived from a mixture of push and display network inventory — much like how big ad networks make ads available to multiple publishers.

For in-stream campaigns, video creatives are a must. The best performing videos are short and engaging, typically 10-30 seconds ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌long.

Been working with these guys for 5 years now. Letting alone that the support team is available 24/7, they are really great, coming up with suggestions on a daily basis and help me with the optimizations of my campaigns. Other than that, they have worldwide traffic and since i'm looking for more geos, this became my main source of traffic in the last months.
