MIRRIAD AGREES NEW commercial TERMS with TENCENT
Mirriad Advertising plc
("Mirriad" or the "Company")
Mirriad, the leading in-content advertising company, today
announces that it has reached a new commercial agreement with
Tencent.
Tencent is China's biggest online video streaming platform by
subscriptions and, after two years of successful collaboration with
Mirriad, this agreement renews the maturing relationship for a
further two years, and is backdated to commence from 1(st) April
2021.
During the previous contract term, Tencent introduced Mirriad's
proprietary in-content advertising solution to its advertisers,
offering innovative video advertising services in China.
Tencent and Mirriad will now work together to further scale
in-content advertising in the fast-growing Chinese market. This
enhanced agreement enables a move to a revenue share model for both
parties, removing the previous minimum volume and exclusivity
clauses, to align with the commercial terms Mirriad has in place
with other large partners in US and European markets.
The revenue share agreed in this deal will be consistent with
those in other Mirriad standard commercial contracts previously
disclosed to the market.
A notable further part of the agreement is a commitment from
both parties to develop a sales model based on audience reach
delivered to advertisers in the Chinese market, allowing Tencent to
widen the range of content it can monetise using Mirriad's patent
protected and award-winning in-content advertising technology.
Stephan Beringer, CEO of Mirriad , said: "This new agreement
underlines how much we achieved in our first contract term with
Tencent and I'm excited about how we can continue to create new
routes to grow revenue together. This includes audience
based-buying and delivery, which allows us to scale across more of
Tencent's content and it takes us further towards our ultimate goal
of programmatic advertising.
"In a rapidly evolving advertising territory, we've introduced a
record number of brands, including the biggest names in key
categories and, most importantly of all, demonstrated how
integrating with the Tencent advertising stack can be a blueprint
for mass adoption in other markets."
