LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ryff, the pioneer of in-scene advertising (ISA) and virtual product placement (VPP), announced a new partnership with SoFast at MIPcom today. Leveraging Ryff’s innovative Spheera platform, SoFast can now deliver nonintrusive, contextually relevant, brand-safe placements across all its 700 channels on 170 global streaming platforms, including premium movies, sports, news, lifestyle, kids, and more, from FAST, AVOD and SVOD.

“At SoFast, we’re committed to delivering high-quality, free content to a global audience, and this venture with Ryff takes that vision to the next level. With their In-Scene Advertising technology, we’re offering brands an unparalleled opportunity to engage viewers naturally and non-intrusively,” stated Yanai Arfi, CEO of SoFast. “Monetization is crucial to the success of any FAST channel, and Ryff’s technology is a highly versatile way of generating sustainable revenue that benefits both content owners and advertisers.
