IMA (Interactive Media Ads)

IMA (Interactive Media Ads): This technology is developed by Google that provides an SDK (Software Development Kit) and tools for incorporating video ads within video players. It enables publishers to integrate various ad formats, such as linear video ads and overlay ads, into their video content. Muvi uses IMA SDK across its apps for ad insertion.

Live Audio Streaming is a rapidly growing segment of the digital media landscape. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Twitch have popularized this format, and it’s becoming increasingly attractive for advertisers. IMA can be adapted to support live audio streaming, allowing publishers to insert ads into audio broadcasts. This could include audio-only ads, or even visual ads for platforms that offer a companion video stream.

However, the true potential of live audio streaming lies in its synergy with live video streaming. Platforms like YouTube Live, Twitch, and Facebook Live have gained immense traction, offering a more immersive and engaging experience for viewers. By combining live audio and video, advertisers can create more impactful campaigns that resonate with audiences on a deeper level.
