They created a funny video depicting episodes of the XIX century New Year's Eve shopping, allusions to the early 20th century delivery service, and other ideas of the ecosystem solutions which helped the users of the past create an atmosphere of a warm family holiday.

What is Extension?
Since the full video lasts for about 2 minutes, and ad videos placed on the IVI online cinema usually have the timing of only 15 seconds, we decided to opt for Extension. It allows you to show long videos to users after their consent, thus making visible the most engaged audience.
What is more, we conducted A/B testing as part of the placement. For that, we transformed the film into two separate one minute videos, each representing a different set of services.
Extension is an ad placement option when for the first 10 seconds of the video a user sees an overlay which offers to watch the video up to the end. Then the user has two options:
1. Not to click on the overlay and watch a 5-second packshot with the company main message and a reminder to watch the video in full;
2. To click on the overlay and watch the whole video to the end.
We have already talked about this and other IVI options in the article ‘Not a single multi-roll. 7 advertising formats on IVI’.
