The ability to deliver 360^o video advertising on android & iOS, in app and on mobile web significantly enhances the reach brands can achieve with their 360^o video content, opening up the whole of LoopMe’s video inventory to 360^o video – a total of 1.5 billion unique users worldwide.

“With newer formats…scale can be a concern, but LoopMe were able to build the creative in such a way that allowed us to target and reach our core audience without restriction. We were also able to deliver that asset to other media owners to further increase the scale.”

Alice Bartlett, Digital Account Director, Target Digital

The SDK, which is the lightest available on the market, is easy to integrate, and allows publishers to easily host the most engaging video format available on the market.

360^o video uses the device’s gyroscope functionality to allow users to immerse themselves within video content, driving deep engagement and brand affinity. Whether it’s exploring back stage at a concert, the dugout at a football match or taking in the view from Everest, this exciting format delivers outstanding brand experiences.

The format requires a video file created specifically for a 360^o video advertising experience.

The video is recorded using a special camera and ‘wrapped’ in a sphere. This means users explore the video from the inside, allowing them to view every angle, rather than viewing from one fixed point.

When a device shows a 360^o creative it zooms in to show 1/10 of the image, allowing users to explore the other 9/10 using the gyroscope.
