Marketers and agencies as well as social media leaders using Veeple’s Interactive Online Video (IOV) platform (.com) will have greater distribution choices for their online video campaigns as a result of an agreement with TubeMogul (http://www.tubemogul.com/), the most popular online video distribution platform.
The agreement allows Veeple customers the use of TubeMogul’s signature “Load and Track” service which gives users the capability to upload videos once and automatically deploy them with as many of the top video sharing sites as they want, within the users’ specified accounts.
“Veeple is all about enhancing, engaging and measuring online video campaigns. Our customers expect not only simplicity in our service but also a platform that quickly evolves with their needs. As we evolve the Veeple service we knew that syndication was a top priority for our customers who are increasingly adding online video to their marketing mix.” said Scott Broomfield, CEO and co-founder of Veeple.

In a test of the viability of small online-ad companies, Quantcast has launched a new online ad-targeting service that is being closely watched by advertisers and investors.
Quantcast, a high-profile San Francisco start-up, is one of dozens of young companies helping broker targeted display ads — which typically contain both text and images, and are aimed at audiences selected for such characteristics as age, income or even probable personality traits.
Some of these start-ups sell targeted ads directly on behalf of media companies and other Web publishers. Others — like Quantcast — provide data to help companies, such as General Electric’s NBC Universal and Time-Warner’s Time Inc., sell targeted ads on their own.
Investors have poured millions of dollars into the fledgling businesses, hoping to discover the next Google or Yahoo that could change the way ads are sold online.
