NAPA, CA — The TV industry may move from selling in-stream ads upfront to inserting them in real-time, if Chris Hock gets his way. Hock’s Black Arrow<\/a> helps cable companies dynamically insert ads in to streamed programming.<\/p>\n “Through the third quarter of this year, we\u2019ve seen a 250% growth over impressions from last year,” says Hock, the company’s\u00a0product management and marketing SVP. “We\u2019re talking about billions of impressions. We\u2019re really starting to see scale.”<\/p>\n The company began by powering this feature for operators’ time-shifted programming, then also began supporting live linear dynamic ad insertion. Now it is also courting content owners, who increasingly want to strike deals to benefit from ad-sales within their shows as VOD, even when offered via a cable company, Hock says.<\/p>\n Black Arrow recently opened<\/a> a London office and an Amsterdam data center to support European expansion.<\/p>\n
