Cedato IntentView Is the Next Generation of Instream Video, Providing Marketers with True Engagement Metrics, and Publishers with Superior User Experience
Cedato, the leading programmatic operating system for video, is announcing the launch of IntentView, a first-of-its-kind, true engagement-driven video unit. This new patent-pending instream video format provides marketers with a greater value from user-initiated impressions while publishers gain higher revenue for quality impressions. Currently, Cedato is a programmatic operating system for modern video, offering publishers and advertisers a comprehensive SaaS-based video technology stack which enhances the value and viewing experience.
At the time of this announcement, Yair Miranda, COO, Cedato, said, “IntentView provides better video engagement metrics because it is user initiated, and the net branding effect is far greater than instream.”

Cedato IntentView Inventory Can Be Accessed via All Standard Programmatic Buying Platforms Using Existing Video Creatives
The IntentView video format appears as a unique instream picture-in-picture overlay, engaging with the user in the form of a dynamic video thumbnail preview. Upon the user’s show of intent, the thumbnail expands into a full-view video ad with sound-on, while the video content is paused. Thumbnails that are not engaged, disappear after several seconds.
Thus far, Cedato customers have reported 50-90% lift in completion rates from IntentView when compared with standard video ads. The activation of each impression is based on the user’s show of intent thereby delivering more accurate and reliable engagement metrics. Adding to this the benefit of guaranteed viewability for all IntentView inventory, the end result is higher exposure for marketers as well as an improved viewing experience for users.
With IntentView, marketers only pay for user-initiated views. Not only do they benefit as their spend reflects user-initiated engagement, a better measurement of intent, they’re also gaining free brand exposure in premium content with users who do not initiate the ad. IntentView inventory can be accessed via all standard programmatic buying platforms using existing video creatives.
