The budget buys the placement. What happens next decides whether the video renders quickly, plays well, creates impact and generates results.


Traditional open web advertising infrastructure was built for static display. Video asks for more. Each impression lands in its own mix of device, connection and page, and across billions of impressions that adds up to more combinations than any single version of a video can serve well. Delivery has to read those conditions and adapt to each one.


That’s what SeenThis is built to do. We adapt how each video is prepared and delivered for the viewing situation it lands in.

Many video ads on the open web are delivered as conventional video files. The browser has to request and buffer enough of that file to begin playback, while scripts, images and other assets on the same page compete for bandwidth. On a busy page or constrained connection, that can delay playback and give the viewer time to scroll past.

SeenThis treats a video as a sequence of short segments, each prepared and delivered individually. The format is built specifically for ad placements on the open web, and tuned together with our own encoding and player.

Upload your high-quality master as it is. We adapt delivery to each viewer, and set encoding using quality analysis, including VMAF, the industry-standard measure of how good video looks to viewers.

Adaptive streaming is familiar from services such as Netflix and YouTube. Those services control their own player, app and viewing environment, and their viewers have chosen to watch, so a moment of buffering is expected and accepted.


Advertising on the open web is different. A video ad appears inside someone else’s page, alongside editorial content, scripts, images and other advertising, across thousands of publishers, browsers and devices. And it has to play the instant it comes into view to grab the viewer's attention. That short window is what SeenThis technology is built for.

Vertically integrated

We build the whole chain.
Editor to player to report.

At SeenThis, we build the creative tools, the animation engine, video encoding, adaptive streaming, our own player and the measurement behind it. That is why the motion you sign off is the motion that plays, and why we can improve the creative and the delivery together.

The technology exists to improve what happens after an impression has been bought: how quickly the ad appears, how well it plays and how long the viewer has to engage with it.

How agencies, publishers and SeenThis work together

Agencies bring the strategy, buying and creative direction. Publishers bring their audiences, inventory and environments. SeenThis is the video advertising partner connecting the creative to the viewer, with technology that handles how the ad is prepared, delivered and played.


In practice, it fits the setup agencies already use. We prepare the creative, and the agency activates it through its existing ad server or DSP, such as Campaign Manager 360, DV360, The Trade Desk or Amazon DSP. The campaign then runs across open web inventory while we handle delivery and playback.
