Media companies can build intelligent programming, distribution and windowing strategies across platforms that allow them to retain large audiences on their own sites and apps — where the value per view is 10x or more.

According to Ezoic’s ad revenue index, the fourth quarter (specifically November & December), garners the highest online ad rates of the year. IRIS.TV’s historical data also shows that our clients experience the highest view volumes at the end of the year (1.8M streams per client in Q4 vs. 1.3M streams per client in all other quarters). These two recurring trends create a unique challenge for both our clients & the digital media space in general: How do we take advantage of this audience, not only right now, but into the new year and beyond?
Field Garthwaite, CEO and Co-founder of IRIS.TV, added, “There’s a sea change happening that’s affecting how media is distributed, consumed and monetized. Frankly is part of an important shift in how media platform providers innovate and customize audience experiences. Through our partnership, Frankly is able to leverage the power of AI and machine learning to serve up content that is highly relevant, engages audiences and offers up new revenue opportunities for media companies.”

Five years before “pivot to video” became an internet meme, Richie Hyden and cofounder Field Garthwaite launched iRIS.TV, using AI to help media companies win the ongoing war for audience engagement and retention.
“We’ve lost the concept of ads being part of the entertainment experience. Too much emphasis has been placed on volume of impressions without proper attention to the quality of user experience and brand affinity. This is why we created IRIS.TV for Brands, to enable marketers the ability for creative storytelling through branded content and distributing it in-stream into smart playlists on premium publisher sites,” said Field Garthwaite, CEO & Co-Founder, IRIS.TV. “The days of seeing the same pre-roll ad repeatedly when you’re catching up on news or highlights from the game last night are over. Consumers tune out and brands lose the value of those impressions. With IRIS.TV, not only do brands gain more control and brand-safe distribution, they also gain prescriptive insights to help inform future content strategies and programming.”

“Facebook has been unable to get more than 30% of their audiences to surpass 2-second viewability,” said Fielde Garthwaite, co-founder and CEO of the TV analytics platform Iris.TV. “This is jaw-dropping when we all hear about how Facebook has the most engaged audiences,” he added. “Facebook is the opposite experience of TV – it’s quick, meandering and reactive, whereas TV and premium video in general are [more passive] and watched with clearer intent at a longer duration.”

As one IRIS.TV official explains in a company blog: “The information we passively collect during consumer video viewing experiences informs our machine learning, and helps populate more relevant videos going forward. Data creates our intelligent video distribution models, helps clients monetize their video archives, and helps set that content up for increased discovery within the publisher’s own platform.”

By definition, artificial Intelligence seems anything but “natural,” but AI tools increasingly give publishers the secret weapons they need to create a more authentic, organic and natural experience for their site visitors.
Los Angeles-based IRIS.TV has been working to solve this problem for a while now, and their AI-based protocol should make publishers very happy.
By making these connections to create playlists that will keep users engaged and watching, IRIS.TV is hoping to create usage patterns that have viewers coming to the publisher’s website directly, rather than relying on Facebook as a launching point.
