About DPG Media

As a leading media company in the Benelux, DPG Media offers a range of solutions and channels to its advertisers. These go from traditional pre-rolls and mid-rolls to more sophisticated products like branded content and native ads.


DPG Media also produces its own TV shows. Their goal is to entertain and connect their viewers by offering inspiring and enlightening content.

We want to hand advertisers the means to also improve their activation and mid-funnel metrics. Spott’s interactive layers are very well suited to that. Adding buttons and interactive tags are a great way to increase activation in ads.

The challenge: passive viewing experience leading to suboptimal ads return

Why still offer passive content produced for a top of funnel channel like TV whilst direct conversion on those ads is perfectly possible within OTT and web?

The solution: maximise ads return by offering an interactive viewing experience
When realising what is technically possible, DPG media brought a whole new range of advertising formats to the market. All based on the logic of facilitating direct conversion by the consumer based on the inspiring content of the advertiser. DPG Media has been using Spott mainly in their video ads to increase activation and conversion rates. The elements in those interactive video ads allow viewers to interact and convert as soon as they see something that inspires them, whilst keeping them within the viewing experience.

Spott’s interactive layers are very well suited to that. Adding buttons and interactive tags are a great way to increase activation in advertisements.

Drumrolls: the results so far

When DPG Media started with interactivity, numerous A/B tests were run to measure the performance between interactive video ads and regular ads. Traditional ads featured one call-to-action, whereas interactive ads had that same CTA as well as multiple interactive tags. These tags can range from offering more information, invites to follow social media channels, sampling/couponing, newsletter subscriptions, booking test drives to actual direct purchases.
 
For every A/B test, DPG Media measured 25% to 40% higher click-through rates on interactive video ads compared to traditional ads.
 
DPG Media also noticed that interactivity increased the clicks registered on the traditional CTAs. Campaigns saw a complimentary increase of 26% in clicks registered on the regular CTA.
 
Thanks to the remarkable results of interactive video ads, DPG Media has been able to offer stronger advertising solutions to their clients, and consequently further strengthen their position as one of the best performing online advertising platforms in the market.

What’s next for DPG Media?

Next to using the Spott interactive technology in more advertisement formats and with different types of interactivity, DPG Media has several innovative plans prepared to apply interactivity.
 
One of those is the development of a Design Studio that will allow clients to create complete ad campaigns and creatives on the same platform. An important component will be Spott’s technology, allowing advertisers and their agencies to immediately produce their interactive video ads in the Studio itself.
