How does it work?

An initial video teaser with brand logo draws consumer attention and entices the user to interact with the ad. Upon consumer interaction, the teaser transforms into the main unit with a branded canvas, allowing for personalized creative messaging, CTA and other interactive features to drive the brand’s objectives. VDX, which is available in OTT, In-stream, In-frame, and Expandable units, includes viewability, anti-fraud capabilities and brand safety mechanisms across different platforms.
