Out‑Stream Advertising
Out-Stream Advertising is a type of digital advertising that appears outside of traditional video content, typically within text articles, social feeds, or between paragraphs. It automatically plays when visible on the user’s screen, offering brands a way to engage audiences without interrupting their browsing experience.
What is Out‑Stream Advertising?
Out-Stream Advertising delivers video or rich media placements within editorial environments, social feeds, and between paragraphs, activating when in view to maximize attention and minimize disruption. For B2B marketers, this format extends reach beyond pre-roll inventory, enabling contextually aligned storytelling inside high-quality content. Viewability-triggered playback, muted starts, and user-initiated sound create a respectful experience that drives engagement. Flexible sizing integrates with responsive layouts, while trusted publisher-direct placements protect reputation. Advanced targeting, frequency controls, and third-party verification support efficient spend and accountability. Use out-stream to amplify thought leadership, product education, and demand creation across the buyer journey without sacrificing user experience.
Example
As a marketer, you can implement Out-Stream Advertising by placing short, engaging video ads within popular online articles related to your product. For example, if you sell fitness gear, insert a 15-second video ad showcasing your latest running shoes between paragraphs of a health and wellness blog post. This video will automatically play when readers scroll to it, capturing their attention without interrupting their reading flow. Use targeting to reach users interested in fitness, and track engagement metrics to optimize the campaign.
