LOS ANGELES--()--SocialVibe, the digital advertising technology company, today announced the initial test of video engagements on the Facebook Platform. Leveraging SocialVibe’s unique value-exchange approach, people will be able to earn Facebook Credits simply by interacting with SocialVibe engagements. Major global brands working with SocialVibe will issue Facebook Credits through SocialVibe’s video engagements in return for consumers’ attention to a brand experience.

SocialVibe’s engagement units reward consumers for their attention by providing a valued benefit in exchange for their interaction with a brand experience. By capturing consumers’ attention at a time when they are most receptive to participating, such as while playing a social game, donating to charity or accessing premium content, SocialVibe delivers unprecedented engagement rates to advertisers. SocialVibe offers a wide range of engagement ad units that incorporate video, polls, games and other interactive features meant to encourage users to share the brand experience.

Millions of people on Facebook are already familiar with SocialVibe’s brand activities as its engagements are deeply integrated into 8 of the top 10 apps on the Facebook Platform, including Causes.com and popular Zynga games such as FarmVille and CityVille.

“Major brands recognize the massive influence and purchasing power of the 500 million people that use Facebook every month,“ said SocialVibe CEO Jay Samit. “Facebook Credits are an ideal value-exchange for consumers interacting with brand experiences on SocialVibe’s platform.”

“SocialVibe’s engagements' use of Facebook Credits is a highly innovative way to reach consumers at the epicenter of attention and influence,” said David Goodrich, EVP, Digital, Initiative. “The challenge for advertisers today is getting people engaged. With the strategic use of value-exchange, brand marketers have a real opportunity to reach millions of potential brand ambassadors."

Delivering high rates of social brand engagement

SocialVibe has powered campaigns for over 200 of the world’s biggest brands including GE, Best Buy, Disney, Nestle, McDonalds, Coke, Visa, AT&T, Proctor & Gamble, and Lexus.
