•    Advertisers and brands can leverage Orange and Dailymotion’s videomaking community of ‘Motionmakers’ to create and design tailor-made advertising campaigns
•    Dailymotion secures 1.2 billion views a month. 20,000 new videos are added each day to the existing 20 million videos available and the site receives 114 million unique visitors a month.

Orange today announced an exclusive partnership with Dailymotion to deliver the only integrated-advertising solution targeting specific audiences and localised content on Dailymotion’s video-sharing platform. Dailymotion’s video sharing platform reaches 114 million unique visitors a month worldwide, and 20,000 videos are added daily. The Orange Advertising Network* will have the exclusivity to monetize and represent Dailymotion’s video advertising inventory across the UK, Spain, Poland and Latin America*.  

Dailymotion’s categorisation of content offers brands an unrivalled and qualified inventory of scale.  It can be used by advertisers to target the video sharing market locally by differentiating between premium and user-generated content. Dailymotion’s catalogue of aggregated content is built around the concept of localisation – it has secured extensive rights to local premium content via partnerships with the major official providers in each market, such as ITN in the UK, TV Azteca in Latin America, or TV3 in Spain. This high-quality, locally relevant content ensures brands can reach specific customers on a country by country level and in a far more engaged way than is currently available to advertisers.

Dailymotion receives more than 1,2 billion monthly views and categorises its catalogue of content in three ways: official (ie premium), professional (or keen amateur) and user-generated.  All content is segmented into different channels allowing advertisers to only advertise within the channel relevant to their product or service.

Brands will also be able to harness the creativity of the active Dailymotion videomaking community, the ‘Motionmakers’, which make up 20% of Dailymotion’s community. This community can be briefed to create bespoke content for advertisers.  The community then returns with video content, inspired by the brand brief, providing unique collateral specifically suited to a campaign.  

As well as providing targeted video ads within the content on Dailymotion, companion ads can also be leveraged by a brand to integrate video content alongside traditional web advertising formats such as banners and home-page takeovers. Advertisers benefit from the most creative and engaging advertising formats on the market and can also sponsor Dailymotion’s high profile premium catalogue of videos to strengthen their brand visibility.

Luc Tran Thang, Vice President, Orange Advertising, comments, “Advertisers are increasingly looking to incorporate video within their online campaigns but unless brands can specifically target the right content relevant to each market, it’s like dropping a needle into a haystack. We can ensure that our advertisers and brands connect with the right target audience, reached by targeting localised video content which only Dailymotion can offer, thereby ensuring a meaningful engagement for brands with their consumers online.”

Luc Dumont, VP International Development, Dailymotion comments, “The Orange Advertising Network is a natural fit for Dailymotion in the UK, Spain, Poland and Latin America, giving us the scale of a global team to leverage our site’s strong inventory.  Online video content is proven to offer advertisers a powerful platform – providing that the brand’s messages are presented alongside appropriate content relevant to the viewer’s interests.  Dailymotion enables advertisers to target their consumers more directly than traditional broadcast channels. Our ability to effectively catalogue content and empower our community will enable us to provide brands on the Orange Advertising Network with valuable engagement. We will also give advertisers the creative freedom to use the site as an innovative and interactive platform for ground-breaking campaigns and provide the tools they need to measure the return on their investment.”
