Goal

Verizon Fios aimed to improve frequency management across all of its ad investments to maximize cost efficiency. However, the siloed nature of one-to-one frequency caps for each publisher-direct IO and across programmatic has always been an industry challenge of fragmentation. Yahoo DSP wanted a way to apply learnings from Verizon’s direct buys to their programmatic activation to increase ad dollar effectiveness. Prior to Innovid’s Harmony solution, no answer existed for holistic frequency control.

Yahoo + Verizon Case Study
Strategy

Innovid’s Harmony Reach & Frequency empowered Yahoo DSP, to leverage a holistic view of household frequency intelligence across all of Verizon’s media portfolio (direct & programmatic). As Verizon’s primary video ad server, Innovid can comprehensively understand household exposures for all impressions across every publisher, platform, device, channel. By sending automated signals to Yahoo DSP, Innovid enabled real-time, pre-bid suppression of overexposed households, thereby expanding unique reach and reducing ad waste.

Outcome

Innovid Harmony Reach & Frequency allowed Verizon Fios to bridge the gap between understanding and action, to optimize ad delivery in Yahoo DSP from a holistic lens:

● Reduce Ad Waste: Innovid’s universal view of impressions across Verizon’s entire media portfolio, unlocked the ideal household frequency target allowing Yahoo DSP to reduce impressions unlikely to yield performance by 57%.

● Maximize Reach: By capping households at the ideal frequency, budget was redirected to underexposed households and increased cross-buy daily unique reach by 41+%.

● Improved Audience Experience: Verizon minimized audience ad fatigue by eliminating excess repeat messaging, thereby fostering better brand association.
