SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- China Internet Conference 2008 was held in Nanjing on September 23rd. At the conference, president of PPS.TV, Vincent Xu, addressed in a speech titled 'PPS Olympic Strategy' on PPS' Olympics marketing strategy experience and yield with all the media and industry players.

This year's Olympics have won record user numbers for new media online TV platforms and their advertisers, especially in China where 244 million watched the Games from the nine official sites according to the Data Centre of China Internet (DCCI).

According to DCCI, "Online TV advertising has been increasingly considered as an effective communication platform precisely reaching advertiser's targets as it outperforms other traditional online formats for branding with higher interaction, longer viewing times and higher click-through rates."

China's leading online TV and video streamer PPStream (PPS.TV) is now attracting advertising campaigns with global brands, including LG, China Merchant Bank, China Mobile and others.

Mindshare, LG's advertising agency was "very satisfied" with PPS' good performance for both client-end buffering (loading) TVC Ads and Pause TVC Ads, as well as the CPC (Cost per Click).

They recorded a 5% CTR (Click-through Rate) on ads during the Olympic period alone, general portal banner ads usually generate a 0.1-0.5% CTR.

Vincent Xu, president of PPS, said "LG ads were able to be positioned, as with TV ads, with live video broadcasts, creating a positive association and awareness, with the added benefit of the ability to 'click' directly through to their products site."

Eugene Chew, General Manager for Agency.com Shanghai said, "Our online campaign for Bacardi ran across more than 10 major portals including PPS. PPS outperformed all other sites in terms of response rates and cost- effectiveness."

"Their large format flash & video pre-roll ads generated high awareness and click-throughs. We were pleasantly surprised by the above average click- through rates, which yielded the lowest CPC of the campaign," according to Eugene.

Vincent commented that the results were a positive step for PPS in their plan to become the leading online TV destination for advertisers.

He concluded, "Before we used to get mainly online gaming advertisers, now global brands like Nike, Pepsi and Budweiser are coming, which supports our decision to pay for quality, up-to-date, and copyright respecting content."
