Tokyo, June 6, 2018 --- D.A.Consortium Inc. (DAC) is pleased to announce that it has invested in a private placement of new shares offered by Tokyo-based video analytics service provider Eviry Inc. With this move DAC is now able to deliver video content of value to consumers by leveraging Eviry’s video analytics service “kamui tracker”. It also aims to provide effective video marketing for advertisers.

Demand for video advertising is mounting by the year as society goes digital. With videos made by influencers gaining ever more attention, digital marketers need to take action such as recruiting video creators. These developments make it more important than ever to have a broad range of statistical data and insights on video content and viewing patterns, yet gathering and analyzing statistical and video creator data spanning a multitude of platforms requires immense time, advanced technology, and considerable expertise. To meet that challenge, DAC has decided to invest in Eviry as a way of strengthening its capabilities in the video marketing and influencer marketing fields.

■About “kamui tracker” from Eviry

It gathers and analyzes statistical data on videos available on major social platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Japan’s Niconico and stores it in a database. It has the advantage of enabling videos posted on multiple platforms to be compared on such criteria as content, number of views, and engagement rate. Besides performing cross-analysis of YouTube and other social platforms, it also allows advertisers to search for the creators best suited to their campaign and commission creators they want to work with to produce videos. The service, launched in March 2017, can analyze over 25 million video data points and has over 110,000 creators on file (as of June 2018). It is already used by leading IT firms and game developers.

DAC is also considering establishing a business partnership with Eviry and working more closely with it through linkages with DAC’s own portfolio of solutions like XmediaOne (*1), DialogOne (*2), and AudienceOne (*3).

By delivering services that capitalize on the latest technology and expertise in the field of video marketing, DAC will continue working to promote the evolution of digital marketing and the digital advertising market.
