Xpress runs video advertising, live-event ad insertion, and static display promotion for publishers, advertisers, venues, creators, portfolio brands, and approved external platforms.
Scheduled video inventory, groups, and run-of-network.
Buy or serve video advertising through Xpress groups, run-of-network access, and approved campaign inventory. Xpress Video supports campaign playback, signed tracking, marketplace credit, and VAST/VMAP export for approved partners.
Ad insertion for live productions and creator streams.
Serve approved video ads into live productions, creator streams, and event broadcasts. Xpress Live Ads can request a specific sponsor group or run-of-network inventory through the Xpress v1 surface.
Static and promotional placements, sold as managed packages.
Promote shows, events, releases, venues, and sponsor offers with static display placements. Xpress Display supports posters, banners, QR promotions, venue screens, app placements, and managed flat or venue/time packages. CPM campaigns remain subject to certification; share-of-voice is not currently for sale.
Run-of-network means the Xpress v1 API can select from eligible active ads already in rotation, where your account is entitled. RON is not a separate inventory bucket and does not bypass entitlement.
Platform and Platform+ are planned, controlled add-ons layered on top of your free account. They do not replace it.
Publisher, Advertiser, and Venue accounts are free and stay free. Xpress default monetization remains active on your content.
For partners who need to bring their own ad stack or monetize more directly.
For partners building real distribution, live events, external ad placements, or repeat campaigns.
Priced per thousand impressions on eligible inventory.
A fixed price for a defined placement and window.
Reserved for later certification; not currently offered for purchase.
Screen and day-part packages across approved venues.
Prepaid credit applied to eligible marketplace purchases.
Platform and Platform+ are paid add-ons layered on top of your free account. Pricing shown is a target and subject to final product decision.
