For us, it\u2019s about staying informed on how digital and programmatic advertising makes this world go round. This provided the spark for new research based on Yieldbird\u2019s Publisher Survey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\">The publishers who took part in the survey have been challenged with questions about:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their perspective on video content, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Native campaigns, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ad blocking strategies, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data usage, <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their business priorities, concerns, and predictions for the direction the industry is heading in.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intention behind the survey was to explore the upcoming trends that will soon shape the digital market. These trends are monitored by those who keep their fingers on the pulse of the industry, learning every innovation from the inside out. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So we explored all avenues with the surveyed publishers and we\u2019re here to deliver the goods. And by goods, we mean the results on video content trends, among other topics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We managed to get a grasp on how many publishers are in the video business, why they\u2019re producing video content, and what holds them back from creating their own trending material. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Video &#8211; A painkiller or a vitamin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Yieldbird\u2019s Publisher Survey, slightly over 52% of reviewed publishers claimed to produce their own video content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the majority of publishers admit, the main focus is centered around increasing video output and making it even more profitable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Producing video content regularly through their own editorial teams across multiple brands is what drives big publisher strategies and long-term plans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every time any video content is positioned, publishers can serve multiple audiences at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet it\u2019s always a challenge to make sure that a given video will fit a specific audience. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once accomplishing that feat, the world\u2019s leading digital publishers are then left with only one option: &nbsp;increasing their video output and making it even more profitable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5125\" src=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/52-produce-content-video-1200x628-1.png\" alt=\"52 per cent publishers produce their own video content\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/52-produce-content-video-1200x628-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/52-produce-content-video-1200x628-1-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/52-produce-content-video-1200x628-1-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/52-produce-content-video-1200x628-1-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/52-produce-content-video-1200x628-1-768x402.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, producing their own high-end video content is beyond the economic reach of many niches or emerging publishers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s because only publishers with strong brands monetize their ad space without exposing themselves to a potential and significant financial loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is that? Because at this point, deals as a transaction model between advertisers and such publishers are still something unique. And monetization through open market brings risk of staying below the level of profitability necessary to cover video production expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, there are a few ways to grab some low-hanging-fruit from video. The video equipment becomes cheaper year on year and more devices have features letting them be a handy video and sound recorders. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Publishers are cautious about using them, though. Likely because they want to avoid a situation where their video creation falls into the champagne-taste-on-a-beer-budget category. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, Yieldbird has prepared a <\/span> <a style=\"color: crimson;\" href=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/ru\/diy-oscar-goes-website\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>brief guide<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through the most important aspects of creating videos for publishers<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Not all publishers are of the same cloth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s where the actual differences start taking charge. The current audience-oriented market opens up many possibilities for designating trends to particular groups of publishers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put, there is a group of publishers with financial means that allows them to produce high-quality video content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side of the table, there is a group of publishers (up to 35,3% of Yieldbird\u2019s pollsters) who reported to be video-content aware, yet feel somewhat restrained by it. This stems from its revenue limits and a lack of staff and\/or equipment required for producing professional content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And last but not least, there are some publishers (again ca. 35% of Yieldbird\u2019s pollsters) who find no need for this type of content on their webpages. As simple as that. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yet, only 11,8% of those surveyed by Yieldbird are unsure whether video content will be a profitable monetization method in their situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5128\" src=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NOT-ALL-PUBLISHERS-ARE-FROM-THE-SAME-CLOTH-3.png\" alt=\"NOT ALL PUBLISHERS ARE FROM THE SAME CLOTH (3)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NOT-ALL-PUBLISHERS-ARE-FROM-THE-SAME-CLOTH-3.png 1200w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NOT-ALL-PUBLISHERS-ARE-FROM-THE-SAME-CLOTH-3-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NOT-ALL-PUBLISHERS-ARE-FROM-THE-SAME-CLOTH-3-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NOT-ALL-PUBLISHERS-ARE-FROM-THE-SAME-CLOTH-3-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/yieldbird.com\/research-hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/NOT-ALL-PUBLISHERS-ARE-FROM-THE-SAME-CLOTH-3-768x402.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surprising as it may be, a considerable number of publishers still hold the opinion that videos are either unnecessary or that producing them is limited in potential profit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, &nbsp;they don\u2019t invest in the required equipment or staff. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, the 1\/3 of publishers lacking the equipment or trained staff don\u2019t have any video content on their website. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this situation might offer up a unique opportunity for third-party video providers who serve only 11% of publishers. Yet,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35% of publishers don\u2019t have their own in-house video teams or specialists. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what\u2019s more eye-catching is that they don\u2019t see the need to have one at their disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No more than 5% of Yieldird\u2019s pollsters considered producing video content within the next 6 months, proving their awareness of trending content among their audiences. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Looking at video from a new perspective<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, it\u2019s not only audiences and their demand that establishes new trends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Positioning video content allows publishers to meet audience preferences and hold their attention. And that becomes crucial in the overstimulating digital ecosystem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why Yieldbird asked surveyed publishers about their approach to video content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over 52% of reviewed publishers claiming to produce their own video content, the video-centric perspective is back on the road. Even with publishers who have limited budgets. But why this is so? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is buried deep in the underlying reason why this group of publishers produces high-quality video content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the big players set the trends in response to audience demand, the smaller fish in the publishing pond become more open to market changes. They search for creative ways to publish their own hand-made video content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not the quality that matters here, though. It doesn\u2019t need to glitter to be demand-meeting and crowd-pleasing content gold. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video material doesn\u2019t need to fall in line with budget-killing costs, but instead with the potential to reach a preferred audience and build-up engagement. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology nowadays allows publishers to serve video ads without video content. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-normal-font-size has-very-dark-gray-color\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever path publishers choose, Yieldbird\u2019s experts strongly encourage them to serve video ads while they are more profitable and audience-engaging.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We always want to keep up with what\u2019s in or what\u2019s out.
