"ScanScout's publisher network is comprised of 100 percent in-stream video and our ads are entirely oriented in complementing streaming video, much like television," said Bill Day, CEO, ScanScout. "The July results showcase that in-stream video can have a tremendous reach and delivers advertisers the best balance of audience quality and size."
