In today’s fast-paced digital advertising landscape, attention-grabbing video ads are no longer just a nice-to-have; they’re a must for advertisers who want to stay ahead of the curve with innovative, high-performing ad campaigns.
Premium video ad experiences: a must-have for every media team
Basic video ads can only go so far – it’s immersive video ad experiences that lead to higher view rates. Enriched personalized video ads catch the target audience’s interest, achieving a deeper level of interactivity and getting viewers to stay engaged with content for longer. And you know the math: the more engaged a viewer is, the higher the chance of them converting to a customer.
By incorporating premium video ads into their advertising strategies, brands are also able to connect with audiences on a more personal level, ultimately strengthening their brand identity and leaving a longer-lasting impression.
So, why are advertisers and media teams still using basic video ads instead of enhanced video ads in their ad campaigns? First of all, producing any video ad demands a certain amount of time and resources. Let alone producing personalized, enhanced video ads that deliver highly engaging ad experiences that capture the specific interests of an individual and lead to better conversions.
Premium video ad production is still an obstacle for most advertisers. A state-of-the-art software solution can help them bear some of the grunt.

How AdTheorent achieved a 98% completion rate with personalized video ads
As we’ve mentioned, traditional video ads are one thing, but personalized, enhanced video ad experiences that are served and adapted to the individual viewer elevate ad performance to a whole new level.
Take AdTheorent, a leading tech company offering data-driven predictive solutions for advertisers that used Celtra’s solution to create a CTV campaign for their client Farm Bureau HealthPlans.
Their ad campaign aim was to include a personalized message and a QR code to the relevant landing page that would be served according to the user’s location. With Celtra’s solution, AdTheorent was able to use its existing raw assets, including video footage, the company logo, copy, and QR codes, to build a decisioning mechanism.
Video ad variants were then dynamically served from a single VAST tag, and each individual viewer was then shown content based on their location and the audience signal from their CTV device.
What was the outcome of AdTheorent’s personalized video ad campaign? Engaging video ads that serve the most relevant information to individual users based on their data.
In numbers? A 98% video completion rate and 70 QR code scans.
