The practice of incentivizing consumers to watch online ads has plenty of detractors, and Jun Group, an opt-in video platform, has certainly heard the dissent before. In an attempt to quell such concerns, the company today is announcing new pricing where brands only pay for views if the consumer watches the entire video for clips 30 seconds or fewer. Yep, the first 29 seconds, in some cases, are free.
A bevy of big brands have utilized Jun Group, including Nike, Jim Beam, Subway, Chips Ahoy and Mercedes-Benz. Consumers are rewarded with virtual goods and virtual currency for watching videos in social games, as well as on Facebook, YouTube and other sites.
