Discovery Latin America and Dailymotion sign digital video advertising sales representation agreement
Discovery Latin America (DLA), a division of Discovery Inc., announced today that it had signed an agreement with Dailymotion (DM) whereby DLA will become DM’s representative for the sale of advertising throughout Latin America, including Brazil.
DLA will represent DM’s current platform, complementing and expanding its digital offering with the inclusion of new audiences and content genres. In addition, this representation allows DLA to strengthen its offering given DM’s strong capabilities as a global video platform including: state-of-the-art video playback technology, professionally produced content from premium sources, and a large-scale Player that provides an excellent experience for advertisers and users.
DM’s offering is notable for having an average 85% view completion rate on an inventory of over 400 million monthly ad impressions in the region. In addition, the options for advertisers and customers will be expanded with the inclusion of 30-second ad slots that will make it possible to explore highly personalized video formats.
“The addition of Dailymotion to our business proposition will give advertisers the ability to access a secure, scalable, and powerful audience offering in one place. In addition, this agreement combines our multiplatform portfolio with more than 150 publishers that today use the Dailymotion video Player in Latin America”, commented Vera Buzanello, Revenue Lead of Discovery Latin America/USH.
“During these last four years, Dailymotion has grown strongly in Latin America. And now, with Discovery Latin America as our new sales representative in the region, we will be able to offer new and exciting opportunities to our publishing partners and brands”, said David Ríos, Head of US Hispanic & LATAM Content Partnerships at Dailymotion.
“If there is something that characterizes both Discovery and Dailymotion, it is that we are video experts. We are focused on creating the total video experience for the consumer and advertisers. Premium video content, a secure environment, and a quality user experience are the pillars that define us”, commented Fausto Bado, Head of Sales Latin America for Dailymotion. “We are very excited about the beginning of the alliance of forces and expertise between Discovery Latin America and Dailymotion, where brands, publishers, and users will benefit from a unique offer of Premium Video In-stream, on a large scale,” he added.
