This licensestrengthens the entertainment company’s already significant digital portfolio and enhances its ability to provide a premium product for advertisers. VEVO is the #1 video destination for people 18- 34, and its music videos have an 88% completion rate, 14% above industry the norm.

These figures show that advertising before music hits all the right notes. When placed in an environment they love, consumers are more likely to engage. With international artists such as Taylor Swift, Adele and Justin Bieber in the mix, SCA will be at the forefront of connecting music fans with their favourite artists through one of their favourite mediums – VEVO!

VEVO is the home of 6 of the top 10 most viewed videos on YouTube. SCA’s exclusive deal means media buyers won’t be able to target VEVO when they buy YouTube content.

The advantage that this product has over others is that the VEVO audience is highly engaged – they are there to consume on demand and they’re really passionate about it.”

“It’s an effective video environment now exclusively available through SCA and we are thrilled at the opportunity this presents us and our clients when it comes to advertising solutions.”
