Sky Go to use Yospace ad insertion

March 14, 2016

Sky Media has chosen Yospace to provide a dynamic advertisement replacement solution for Sky Go, its ‘TV everywhere’ service in Europe.  In addition to enabling dynamic ad serving on Sky Go Linear for the first time, Sky is now also able to reproduce the key targeting benefits of its successful Sky AdSmart technology across connected devices.

“The enablement of dynamic ad serving in Sky Go Linear, and the ability to extend Sky AdSmart on Sky Go marks a big leap forward for both advertisers and viewers,” said Jamie West, Deputy Managing Director of Sky Media.  “We wanted to provide a seamless viewing experience, but also consider Sky Go viewers’ more personalised relationships with their TV content.  With these aspirations in mind, it became clear very quickly that Yospace’s platform was the most innovative and technically robust.”

Tim Sewell, CEO of Yospace, added, “Sky is the market leader, not just in terms of audience but in innovation in services and features too, and Yospace is delighted to be adding them to our growing list of broadcast customers.  Our dynamic advertisement replacement technology allows tailored adverts to be fully personalised, delivering view-through rates in excess of 98 per centt.  When applied to Sky Go, whose audience is measured in millions, we anticipate substantial benefits for both viewers and advertisers.”
