“Our joint solution ultimately supports a better quality of experience for consumers, translating directly into higher ‘time spent watching’ rates,” said Paul Tarplee, Managing Director, Twofour Digital. “Bottom line for content providers: the more time a consumer spends interacting with and viewing their content, the more opportunities to monetize that content.”
