We’re excited to continue our investment in EX․CO and move the needle even further together.
The Challenge
Endgame360 was looking for an efficient way of driving pageviews and increasing revenue across its network of websites. With 90% of the publisher’s traffic coming from mobile, maximizing mobile real estate was crucial.
Since Endgame360 also has its own sales team, the publisher was also interested in leveraging their own direct demand deals to have more control over the ads being served to its audiences.
The Solution
Endgame360 promptly integrated EX.CO’s instream video player into MotorBiscuit.com, an informative site full of automotive news, reviews, and buying advice, and CheatSheet.com, an entertainment and celebrity news site.
EX.CO’s desktop, in-article, sticky unit was added which moves with the reader as they scroll, and more notably, the publisher added EX.CO’s newly designed top sticky unit on mobile which substantially increases ad viewability and therefore, revenue.
Endgame360 also took full advantage of EX.CO’s flexible demand solution by using a combination of EX.CO’s premium demand alongside their own demand. This feature enables publishers like Endgame360 to have full control over which ads are being served to audiences, optimize yield, and provide full transparency.
Lastly, Endgame360 tapped into EX.CO’s ability to ingest their RSS feeds which takes existing content from the site that is relevant to a reader–based on browsing behavior, contextual targeting, AI, and machine-learning capabilities–and creates dynamic videos to help recirculate content around each site.
The Results
In just 5 short months, Endgame360 has seen a 15% average lift in revenue across both Motorbiscuit.com and CheatSheet.com on a monthly basis. The RSS feeds have generated 200K additional sessions per month.
By utilizing Endgame360’s own demand sources, the publisher has earned 17% more video revenue per month, as compared to the time period prior to partnering with EX.CO.
