(MENAFNEditorial) MIAMI, November 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
VIVA Entertainment Group, Inc.()("VIVA" or "the Company"), a distributor of Over-The-Top (OTT) IPTV content to consumers in a bundled subscription format, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Oi2 Media Group whereby Oi2 will act as lead advertising sales agent for the VIVA LIVE TV App. The agreement extends to network and national spot advertising sales, and in-program sponsorships and advertising in the United States, its territories, and Canada for all VIVA LIVE TV APP channels and content. Under the terms of the Agreement, Oi2 will share revenues on all advertising and sponsorships revenues generated, as well as assign approximately 15 advertising specialists to work on behalf of Viva.
VIVA Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Falcones, commented, "As OTT continues its rapid expansion ofpulling consumers away from traditional cable companies, a significant new revenue opportunity is developing in the way advertising reaches consumers. In fact, OTT ad revenues made significant contributions to recent earnings reports as disclosed by industry leaders like Roku. From where we sit, as our viewership and subscription base expand, we too, see a huge window of opportunity to increase revenues through in-program advertising and sponsorships. The simple reality is the viewers are increasingly abandoning conventional programming delivery providers such as cable and satellite in favor of no-contract streaming providers like VIVA. The reasoning is simple-we provide a lower cost alternative that allows viewers to selectively pay for and watch those programs and channels they prefer without the headache and expense of long-term contracts, bundles, and hardware. This quantum shift in how viewers choose to receive content will naturally be followed by advertising dollars. Our agreement with Oi2, a recognized leader in monetizing network advertising sales inventory, positions us to capture these revenues as an add on to subscription income."
Anthony Michael Hernandez, CEO of Oi2 Media stated,"The American television viewer, for the first time since the inception of TV as a medium, now holds the ultimate power to watch what they want, when they want to, and how they want. As this migration of consumer behavior continues to grow, our plan is to deliver a captivated audience to advertising brands and sponsors looking to reach this important population segment. We anticipate that as Viva Live TV grows its audience, and consumers continue to become ever more adopting to advertising within OTT delivered content, Oi2 and Viva will be well positioned to capitalize on these new streams of revenue."
