The AI play- As the name suggests, the recent offering by Vidooly comes as a rescue to deal with the brand safety which is a reason of concern with advertisers worldwide.

It uses massive repository of data on these videos and draws its experience and deep learning algorithms to understand the nature of content across millions of videos at once. Subrat Kar, CEO, Vidooly said that the rising internet penetration and smartphone adoption has led to a gradual shift from TV and print, however, due to multiple platforms on digital and lack of standardisation, brands are still wary of going all out with digital video, brand safety being a major concern. “With Vidooly’s brand safety tool, we are offering that added level of safety and making sure that the videos on which the ads are served don’t cross the brand guidelines”, he added. The tool is currently available only for advertisers on Youtube and the company intends to gradually expand its offerings to other popular video platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Vidooly, that currently flaunts 500 million viewers and 250 million videos across Youtube, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, hopes to attract advertisers and brands of all sizes and irrespective of their marketing budgets.
