Continuous Video

Cost-effective reach

Continuous video offers cost-effective reach, especially for ongoing campaigns. With vertical, square, or horizontal video, you can engage in tactical or brand marketing for a precise target audience.

Continuous Video is a dynamically priced, impression-based advertising solution displayed across Sanoma’s digital network. It is a net product, and customer discounts are not available.

The video starts playing automatically on screen without sound and ends on the final frame of the video. A play icon remains visible, allowing users to replay the video.

Clicking on the video directs users to a landing page.

A wide range of targeting options is available for this product. Targeting does not include retargeting, site-specific targeting, or targeting based on financial research data.

NEW

Vertical Video VCPM

Own the space with vertical video.

Advertising appears in the vertical placements of news media videos, and now also includes the IS Nopeat ad environment, similar to Reels.

 

What does VCPM mean?

Viewability = Viewability (visibility) is a metric that measures how visible an ad is on the user’s screen. Sanoma’s average is 73% (according to IAB, a good viewability level is 70% for desktop ads and 50% for mobile ads).

Viewable impression = An impression that meets the viewability definition, meaning the ad has been verifiably visible on the user’s screen.

VCPM = Viewable CPM (Viewable Cost per Mille), the cost of 1,000 ad impressions that have been verifiably visible on screen.


Included in vertical video

  • Vertical video ads displayed across Sanoma’s news and digital network

  • Ad placements that start automatically without sound

  • Initially, most of the inventory comes from these ad placements

IS Nopeat

  • Vertical, full-screen short videos featuring current news

  • Browsed by swiping vertically

  • Ads appear as part of the content feed


Targeting

  • Ages 18–44, ages 45–74, OR gender


Pricing

  • Net price is €13 per 1,000 verifiably viewable ad impressions.


Other

  • Creative includes a call-to-action button and copy text

  • Can also be executed with a vertical image

  • Minimum campaign duration is one week

  • We recommend using short video content, e.g. 6 seconds. Maximum length is 15 seconds

  • Maximum of 5 different creatives

  • Available only through direct sales

Background (video or image)

  • Video 9:16 (1080 × 1920 px, MP4) or image file: 1080 × 1920 px (JPG or WEBP, max 300 KB)

  • Maximum video length: 15 s; maximum file size: 30 MB; 25 fps

  • Audio: stereo, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz

  • Audio levels: according to the EBU R128 standard, –23 LUFS

  • Video bitrate: 8,000–16,000 kbps

Notes

  • The video is shown in a loop. The recommended video length is 6 seconds.

  • Users can scroll past the ad; viewing is not forced, so the creative should capture attention from the very first second.

  • The ad always includes an automatic ADVERTISEMENT label in the top left corner. In the IS Nopeat environment on mobile, there is a close button in the top right corner.

  • Mandatory elements at the bottom include the logo, text elements, and the CTA button, as well as (in the mobile view) an audio control button in the bottom right corner.

  • Only the bottom CTA area is clickable. The background video/image may scale depending on the device, and depending on the phone’s aspect ratio, the background video/image may be cropped at the edges in a similar way to social media formats.
