Pre-Roll & Mid-Roll Video Advertising

Capture audience attention at the most engaged moments — before and during the content they choose to watch. Deliver high-impact video spots with precision targeting and full viewability control.

Pre-roll and mid-roll video advertising on streaming platforms

The power of in-stream video

Pre-roll and mid-roll ads are the gold standard of digital video advertising. Served directly within premium video content — news, entertainment, sports and more — they benefit from the highest attention levels in the digital ecosystem. Viewers are actively engaged, creating an ideal environment for brand messaging.

At Kalithea Media, we activate in-stream video programmatically across leading SSPs and publisher networks. Whether you need non-skippable spots for maximum message delivery or skippable formats for cost efficiency, we tailor the approach to your campaign objectives and audience behaviour.
