ITV has picked 4th Screen Advertising to deliver creative mobile ad campaigns across its entire range of news, sport and entertainment apps and mobile sites.
4th Screen will now work alongside ITV’s media sales team to offer advertisers a range of banners, creative executions and rich media ad formats.
The ads will be integrated across ITV’s mobile inventory including apps and mobile sites for news, sport and entertainment shows such as Britain’s Got Talent, X Factor and I’m A Celebrity.
Advertisers of ITV’s mobile inventory will now work with 4th Screen to develop rich and engaging mobile ad campaigns based on a full toolkit of rich media and creative ad formats including HTML5 banners, rich media overlays, 3D ads, expandable banners, plus ‘sync to calendar’ and ‘click to find my nearest’ formats.
ITV joins 4th Screen’s premium mobile ad network which also includes publishers such as MTV and IMDb and offers advertisers the opportunity to reach segmented audiences that are differentiated at the publisher level.
Richard Hicks, Head Of Mobile, ITV, said: “Our audiences are engaged with our flagship shows across a range of devices. It’s therefore absolutely vital that we can offer our advertisers the best possible set of options across any given platform be that TV, online, mobile and tablet platforms.
“4th Screen brings the agency contacts, creativity, technology and know-how to integrate with our existing ad sales set up and build our ad proposition across the growing mobile channel.”
