Independent media platform Specific Media has acquired Broadband Enterprises, a premier online video provider. Founded in 2004, BBE is a video advertising company that helps brands to monetize, track and produce video across all digital platforms. The deal recently closed for an undisclosed amount.
BBE, which currently works with a majority of Fortune 100 brands, has developed a complete video advertising solution used by major brand advertisers. The company has also developed the industry’s first ad-serving and tracking platform dedicated exclusively to video, VINDICO, which has logged more than 23 billion impressions to date. In addition, the company’s branded entertainment division has produced more than 20 original series, including the award-winning hit show Jen and Barb, Mom Life.
“Video is an exciting market, but advertisers have been unable to capitalize on its potential because it currently lacks data, targeting and analytics. We’re bringing our expertise to this area to fulfill the promise of video,” said Tim Vanderhook, co-founder and CEO of Specific Media. “We chose BBE because the company has a complete solution for brand advertisers, proven technology and a strong leadership team.”
