At CES 2025, we sat down with Adam Kline, CEO of Biddeo, to learn how the company is reshaping video advertising by focusing on low-cost, high-reach campaigns and data-driven strategies across platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Here’s what he shared with us.

Q: Can you start by telling us a bit about yourself?

Adam Kline: I’ve been in the media and advertising space for over 20 years. I’ve worked on both the brand side and the agency side, which gives me a unique perspective on what clients are looking for.

Q: What does Biddeo do, and what sets it apart from other video advertising platforms?

Adam Kline: Biddeo is a performance-based video advertising platform that helps brands and agencies run cost-effective, targeted campaigns on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. We focus on delivering low CPMs while ensuring brand safety and suitability.

What makes us different is our data-driven approach. We don’t just place ads randomly; we use AI and data analytics to ensure ads are shown to the right audience at the right time, maximizing engagement and ROI. We’ve run over 3,500 campaigns without any errors, which speaks to the reliability and precision of our platform.

Q: Can you share a success story from one of your campaigns?

Adam Kline: One of our biggest success stories is with Univision. They approached us to help promote a telenovela to a specific Spanglish-speaking audience. We used our platform to target that audience on YouTube, and the results exceeded expectations.

Because of that success, Univision extended our partnership to include a campaign for the Latin Grammys, which was another major win for us. It showed that our targeted approach works and that we can deliver measurable results for our clients.

Q: What’s Biddeo’s secret sauce? What makes your platform so effective?

Adam Kline: Our secret sauce is data and targeting. We use AI algorithms to analyze audience behavior, content trends, and engagement rates. This allows us to adjust campaigns in real-time and ensure that the right message reaches the right audience.

Another key factor is our focus on brand safety. We make sure that ads are shown in appropriate environments, which helps brands maintain their integrity and reputation.

Q: As an advertiser, what’s the size of the customers that typically come to you?

Adam Kline: We work with a wide range of clients, from small businesses to large enterprises. Our platform is designed to be scalable, so whether you’re a local business looking to reach a niche audience or a global brand running multiple campaigns, we can accommodate your needs.

We’ve worked with clients in various industries, including entertainment, retail, and e-commerce. The flexibility of our platform makes it easy for clients of all sizes to achieve their advertising goals.

Q: What tips do you have for marketers looking to leverage video advertising effectively?

Adam Kline: The first tip is to know your audience. You need to understand who you’re trying to reach and what kind of content resonates with them.

Second, focus on engagement, not just views. A lot of marketers get caught up in vanity metrics like view counts, but what really matters is how people interact with your content. Are they clicking? Are they taking action? That’s what drives results.

Lastly, keep it short and sweet. People’s attention spans are short, especially on social media. Your message needs to be clear and impactful within the first few seconds.

Q: Where do you want to take Biddeo in the next few years? What’s your vision for the future?

Adam Kline: Our goal is to become the go-to platform for video advertising. We want to continue expanding into new platforms and offering more advanced features that make it easier for brands to run personalized, high-performing campaigns.

We’re also exploring ways to further integrate AI to improve predictive targeting and real-time optimization. The future of video advertising is all about relevance and personalization, and we want to be at the forefront of that shift.

Q: What advice would you give to other CEOs in the digital advertising space?

Adam Kline: Stay adaptable. The digital advertising landscape is constantly evolving, and what works today might not work tomorrow. You need to be open to change and willing to experiment with new strategies and technologies.

Also, listen to your clients. They’ll tell you what’s working and what’s not. The more you understand their needs, the better you’ll be able to deliver solutions that make a real impact.

Q: Any final thoughts you want readers to take away from this conversation?

Adam Kline: The most important thing is to stay focused on your goals. In the world of video advertising, it’s easy to get distracted by trends and shiny new tools, but at the end of the day, it’s all about delivering value to your clients.

If you’re consistent and committed to data-driven strategies, you’ll see results. The key is to stay flexible, embrace innovation, and always put your clients first.
