Ad formats

Five ways to show up

Every format is drawn on the player itself, labelled as an ad, and built from the same creative: your square logo, your name, one line and the page the button opens. The creator chooses which formats their work allows; you tick the ones your campaign may run as.

01 · Text banner

Text banner

Your logo, name and a line of text in the corner of the player. Dismissible.

When
While the video plays, in the top corner of the player.
You supply
Your square logo, your name, one line of copy and the page the button opens.
Viewer
Labelled as an ad. Viewers can dismiss it and the video keeps playing.

02 · Visual overlay

Visual overlay

Your image with a short call to action, shown briefly over the video a few seconds in. Needs an overlay image.

When
About 5 seconds into playback, as a strip across the lower part of the picture, for around 12 seconds.
You supply
Your own landscape image, plus the logo, name, line and page. JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 2 MB, landscape between 2:1 and 8:1 (e.g. 1200×300).
Viewer
Labelled as an ad. Viewers can dismiss it and the video keeps playing.

03 · Pause ad

Pause ad

A larger card shown while the viewer has paused the video; disappears on resume.

When
While the viewer has paused, in the middle of the picture. Gone the moment they resume.
You supply
Your square logo, your name, one line of copy and the page the button opens.
Viewer
Labelled as an ad. Viewers can dismiss it, and resuming the video clears it.

04 · End-screen ad

End-screen ad

A sponsored card when the video has finished playing.

When
When the video has finished playing, in the middle of the picture.
You supply
Your square logo, your name, one line of copy and the page the button opens.
Viewer
Labelled as an ad. Viewers can dismiss it or replay the video.

05 · Pre-roll video

Pre-roll video

Your own video, up to 30 seconds, plays before the content with a button to your page; viewers can skip after 5 seconds. Needs an MP4.

When
Before the content starts. It runs only on work whose creator has turned the pre-roll on.
You supply
Your own video: an MP4 up to 30 seconds, plus the logo, name, line and page for the button.
Viewer
Labelled as an ad with a countdown. Viewers can skip after 5 seconds, and an impression counts only once it has played 5 seconds.
How it works

Live in three steps

No sales call and no insertion order. Buy credit, build the ad, choose its formats and where it runs.

01

Create an advertiser account

Sign up as an advertiser, buy a credit pack and your balance is ready to spend. There is no contract and no minimum term.

02

Build your ad

A square logo, your name, one short line and the page the ad should open, plus an image if you run the overlay and a short MP4 if you run the pre-roll. Tick the formats the campaign may run as. Set a budget for the campaign — a total, or an amount per day; it never spends more than that.

03

Choose where it runs

Run of network places it across hosted videos with Earn on, by content category if you like. Spotlight lets you hand-pick the videos it runs on.

Pricing

Priced per format, prepaid

You pay per 1,000 counted impressions, from credit you have already bought. These are the live figures; they are set by Vidreno and can change during the beta.

From

$10

per 1,000 impressions

Each format has its own price per 1,000; you see it as you build the campaign, before anything runs. A campaign is billed the price of whichever format it serves as.

Counted impressions only: repeat and suspicious views are filtered before they are billed.

Credit packs

  • Trial $5
  • Lite $10
  • Starter $25
  • Growth $100
  • Scale $500

Credit stays on your account until it is spent. Set a budget per campaign — total or per day — and it stops there. Prices exclude taxes.

Where it runs

Reach the audience you want

Hosted videos play on Vidreno and wherever their creators embed them; films play on their own pages and through their trailers. Point your campaign at a content category, hand-pick the videos, or let it run everywhere Earn is on.

Broadest reach

Run of network

Your ad runs across every hosted video whose creator has Earn on, on Vidreno and wherever those videos are embedded. Narrow it to one content category if you like: gaming, education, music, tech, business, lifestyle, sports, entertainment or news.

Chosen audience

Spotlight: hand-picked

Pick the videos yourself from the creators who have put their work forward as Spotlight. Your ad runs only there, so you know exactly which audience sees it.

Growing

Films

Independent films publish on Vidreno free to watch or on demand. As filmmakers turn Earn on, their trailers and free film plays join the inventory your ad can reach.

Content policy

  • Advertise your own product or service, with honest copy and a landing page that matches the ad.
  • Nothing adult, deceptive, illegal or harmful, and nothing that infringes someone else’s rights.
  • Vidreno checks ads and can pause or remove a campaign that breaks the policy; repeated breaches close the account.
  • Creators decide whether their work carries ads at all, and in which formats. A video or film with Earn off never shows one.

The full content policy is part of the terms of service.

Campaign stats

  • Impressions: counted views of your ad, per format, deduplicated and checked before they are billed
  • Clicks and click-through rate, per campaign and overall
  • Spend against each campaign’s budget and your remaining credit
  • Pause, edit or resume a campaign at any time

Everything is in your advertiser dashboard the moment a campaign starts: no reports to request.

Questions

What does advertising on Vidreno cost?
Each format has its own price per 1,000 counted impressions, for run of network and for hand-picked Spotlight placements: Text banner $10 (Spotlight $14), Visual overlay $15 (Spotlight $19), Pause ad $12 (Spotlight $17), End-screen ad $10 (Spotlight $14), Pre-roll video $25 (Spotlight $30). You pay from prepaid credit ($5, $10, $25, $100 or $500 packs) and each campaign has its own budget — a total, or a daily amount that resets at midnight UTC — so spend never runs past what you set.
What do the ads look like?
Five formats, each with your square logo, your name, one line of copy and a button that opens your page in a new tab: text banner, visual overlay, pause ad, end-screen ad and pre-roll video. Every one is labelled as an ad and viewers can dismiss or skip it. Creators choose which formats their work allows, and each format has its own price per 1,000. See each format in the player
What counts as an impression?
A counted view of an ad, in one format. Repeat views in the same session and suspicious traffic are filtered out before anything is billed, so you pay for the views that are counted, not for every load of the player.
Where will my ad appear?
On hosted videos (including their embeds on other sites) whose creators have Earn on: everywhere in your chosen category for run of network, or only on the Spotlight videos you pick. Film trailers and free film plays join the inventory as filmmakers turn Earn on for them. The pre-roll runs only on work whose creator has turned it on.
Is there a review?
Ads must follow the content policy: your own product or service, honest copy, nothing adult, deceptive or illegal, and a landing page that matches the ad. Vidreno checks ads and can pause or remove any campaign that breaks the policy. Creators choose whether their work carries ads at all and in which formats, and can turn Earn off at any time.
Does credit expire or get refunded?
Credit is spent as impressions are counted and stays on your account until it is used. Each purchase shows the payment processor’s fee it carried; that fee comes off before creators are paid their share.
