About iAds Video Spokesperson Online Ads
Video Spokesperson is a video of a person (actors, spokespeople or company representatives), that provide a talking and moving video spokesperson on the website. In doing so, visual connections are formed with customers visiting web sites. Video Spokesperson can help direct traffic on sites, highlight a call to action (such as filling out a form or clicking here to buy a product), and are able to communicate an advertisement or a company message. The video is launched immediately once the site is open. The streaming video is housed on iAds' server and is sent to the site without impacting the site or bandwidth.
Here's how it works: iAds are delivered using a line of code for the web page where the video is to appear. That line of code tells the web page that once it is done loading to launch the video from the iAd servers. The video then overlays on top of the client's web page. Since the video is completely separate from the web page, there are no issues for the client's site, and the video plays effortlessly and automatically.
