We see rich media in three lights: the good, the bad and the transformed.

What's good about it? Rich media ads that incorporate video, complex animation multiple visual planes, interactivity or data-driven components turn web surfing into an interactive experience. It makes your message and your products pop. It engages consumers and drives sales. It is the future of Web advertising because it changes the way advertisers can tell their stories.

What's bad about it? Traditional rich media ads take time. You and everyone work with have to design in the Flash authoring toolset. Once your creative elements are created you have to either put on your ActionScript developer hat or send your ad out to have your vision made into a fully functional rich media ad. Turnaround sometimes takes several days, losing momentum and valuable time. Every change adds to your schedule. Sharing mock-ups can turn into a minefield—even sharing between Flash users requires fonts to be ported from user to user, some systems require a download. Less tech-savvy clients or those on different systems require even more time.

Our platform simplifies the whole process, and delivers a completely new experience. Now, creative people can quickly build rich media ads even if they don't know Flash or other complicated programming languages. They can go back to doing what they do best—developing hot ideas, arresting images and innovative messaging—and not spend their valuable creative capital on time-stealing minutia. Any authorized viewer can review works-in-progress in a secure, cloud-based system at any time from any computer.

Our platform also includes tools to track, measure, localize, customize and make ads work and customize ads for any market or any occasion. All of this is totally integrated and easy to use independently. It's a game changer for rich media, and it opens up this sophisticated advertising option to a wider universe of users.

Our platform is expressly designed to make your life easier in so many ways:

You choose the level of service you want. And because our platform is cloud-based, not a download, there is no limit to how many people on your team—including clients—can access our platform. Our platform is a flat fee subscription, not a per-user product.

No—and to your benefit. Our platform allows you to build any ad in any shape or size you like. It is a pro-grade tool that just happens to be accessible and easy-to-use.

Of course. You can upload any SWF and create, deliver and track ad with our platform.

The short answer is sometimes. The longer answer is that most compiled ads will not retain their functionality once ported to our platform—but it's a quick fix. You need to upload the Flash assets to our platform to recreate the functionality in our platform. It only takes a few minutes and does not require using ActionScript.

No. Our platform will only charge you for impressions served.

No. However, preferred pricing and additional services are available through your Rovion sales representative. Contact a sales rep at sales@rovion.com for more details.

Speed. Our platform is much faster and allows those of you who are familiar with Flash to get more done.

Yes. Our platform allows you to use rich media vendors as creative consultants. But what it really does is liberate you from needing them to build and manage every aspect of the ad process. (Think of the time and money saved.)
