Networkplay (www.networkplay.in), a fast-growing digital advertising network and only full-play, multi-screen brand ad network – has announced it has signed an exclusive agreement with Investopedia to monetize its advertising inventory in India.
Viren Anand, Co-founder and Director, Publisher Alliance & Client Servicing, said, “Our objective is to offer worthwhile branding opportunities for all products and labels. Developing markets such as India are fast emerging as engines for future growth. In this scenario, Investopedia is a perfect fit for brands wishing to reach Indian and international investors.”
“This arrangement will be immensely beneficial for advertisers, specifically the BFSI sector, which could run target-specific campaigns, secure in the knowledge that the eyeballs garnered are only those of an interested audience coming online. Advertisers also benefit from the fact that there is scope for more than just the regular display of ads,” added Anand.
Apart from selling standard ROS and mailer inventory, Networkplay will work in tandem with brands on creating interactive, customised content solutions, which will be hosted directly across the website.
