When executed properly and with a cohesive strategy, editorial video programming is a great way to boost user engagement, add value to visitors, and attract high pre-roll CPMs.
Through recent years, video KPIs have descended on newsrooms, mostly driven by higher CPMs, increased ad inventory and user engagement, dwell time, etc.
There are many great reasons why digital publishers should invest in video - contextual video content can increase user engagement and dwell time, more video placements equal new inventory, and video CPMs are consistently higher than display.
While more fortunate than many other industries, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed some challenges for the digital media industry, and it’s sending shockwaves through the industry.
Countless digital media companies have laid off staff or slashed salaries. (Check out Forbes’ media layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts tracker for a full overview.) Digital ad spend in theMarch to June period is expected to be down 33 percent, according to an IAB survey. Bustling newsrooms have been relegated to glitchy Zoom calls.
But it’s not all negatives. Media consumption is actually spiking - no surprise, as folks are stuck at home. The 10am to 5pm window of consumption grew a whopping 39 percent between March 9 and March 23. Health, news, and children’s content categories are three big winners.

With the increased demand from advertisers for click-to-play video inventory only, publishers are under extreme pressures to meet this requirement while still being able to generate sustainable revenues.
Autoplay has provided publishers with a relatively predictable revenue stream with minimal consideration needed for the videos being played. We’ve all seen the generic ‘pet playing the piano’ video autoplaying while we’re reading a totally unrelated story.
