Press release

London, 5 May 2021 - Global video ad management platform Peach today launched a new truly convergent video offering with linear TV and digital video distribution now available in one place.

Offering an end-to-end, collaborative platform for sourcing and distributing content, Peach simplifies video ad distribution across digital channels. It allows assets to be tracked, quality assured and guarantees all ads arrive at their destinations in perfect condition.

“Since its launch in 1996, Peach has been shaking up the way advertising content is managed and helps power the world’s most ambitious creative. We’re proud to unveil our new and improved platform that delivers collaboration, quality, visibility and increased efficiency. Peach is simplifying digital ad distribution which our research shows could save agencies and media owners around half a day each week,” said Ben Regensburger, CEO at Peach.

“When Peach was founded, physical tapes were delivered on bikes and now we’re empowering the convergence of managing linear TV and digital video coming together. We will continue innovating, investing and evolving in our ad platform to ensure simple, fast and accurate convergent video delivery. Always supporting the wider creative and ad industry to deliver its best work.”

Recent research* carried out by Peach into the experiences of agencies, media owners and broadcasters regularly handling digital video ad assets, showed that there’s a disconnect between a challenging workflow for agencies and media owners, compared to broadcasters.

Almost half (45%) of media owners spend five hours a week managing between two to five assets for each campaign, the majority between 20MB and 30MB in size, with over half received from between two to five different locations. A whopping 40% of media owners claimed to experience issues (viewing, downloading or watching the file) and delayed campaigns a few times per week.

Painting a similar picture, a third of agencies claim they delayed campaigns a few times a month and have issues a few times a week (viewing, downloading or watching the file). A quarter handle file sizes of 100MB and need to make changes a few times a month, with almost half (48%) claiming to send assets to between two to five destinations for a typical campaign.

Common media owner and agency challenges included poor quality of delivery, assets not being delivered at all, or those received needing to be updated. A quarter of agencies and almost half (48%) of media owners claim they could save half a day each week if they had a simpler option.

Operating across over 100 countries worldwide, Peach technology is revolutionising advertising industry workflows, replacing laborious manual tasks with automated processes, and offering efficiency, visibility and security.

Designed for broadcasters, digital, social and TV, Peach makes it easy to work across the entire ecosystem from creative agencies, media agencies, production and advertisers to broadcasters and media owners.

The new update will allow Peach to streamline complex digital ad workflows and power the creative industry through:

Fast, accurate, broadcast-grade quality control and feedback which is always available
The ability to instantly create files in the right format for online, social, TV, VoD, DSPs, ad servers and more
Supplying expert 24/7 support from specialists around the world

Peach also improves speed to market and guarantees the best quality through:

Ensuring that files are securely available to approved users – so businesses no longer have to rely on unsecured links
Single sources are available around the clock / every day of the year – to save time and reduce manual errors
Distributing directly into social channels and ad servers speeding up campaign activation
Quality control available for every file to ensure zero rejections from media owners and tech platforms
Continuing to deliver the highest quality file types to media owners and ad servers

Peach is now available worldwide.

The future of inclusion: How Cape.io powered Virgin Media Television’s fully accessible ad break during the Men’s Six Nations

As Channel 4’s closed-captioning mandate came into effect in March 2026, Cape.io partnered with Virgin Media Television, Omnicom Media Group and VoiceBox to deliver a truly accessible ad break during the Guinness Men’s Six Nations. More than ad compliance, this moment proved that accessibility can operate at the highest level of live sports broadcasting.

Navigating Channel 4’s 2026 closed caption mandate

As ad compliance requirements tighten across the UK and Europe, closed captioning has evolved from an accessibility checkbox to a strategic necessity. Whether you're managing CTV campaigns or social media creative, automated ad testing for caption quality is no longer optional - it's fundamental to reaching today's fragmented, multi-screen audiences.

The advertising landscape is facing a seismic shift. By March 1, Channel 4 will become the first UK broadcaster to mandate closed captions across all advertising - including linear TV, streaming, and sponsorships.

The mandate is a redefined standard for global inclusivity. Here is everything you need to know about the new mandate and how to stay ahead of the curve.

One platform, many realities: How creative automation platforms resolve the global vs. local tension

Scaling global marketing without losing local relevance requires more than brand guidelines and templates - it requires a creative automation platform designed for both global control and local flexibility. Most systems optimize for standardization, but scaling ad creative production across markets demands architecture that enables creative variation and adaptation by local experts without fragmenting brand governance.

Many global advertisers are chasing the same ideal: scale without losing relevance.

Consistency without uniformity.
Efficiency without bureaucracy.

It sounds simple. In practice, it’s one of the hardest tensions to resolve in modern marketing.

The global vs. local challenge isn’t new, but it’s becoming more urgent. As brands expand across markets, channels, and cultures, the question is no longer whether you should scale globally, but how you do so without erasing the nuance that makes marketing effective in the first place.

Everyone is looking for this balance. Very few get it right.

The guardrails of growth: Why creative intelligence demands compliance

Generative AI can produce thousands of creative variants, but most compliance systems are still manual, fragmented, and reactive, unable to keep pace with today’s velocity. To move fast without breaking things, the industry needs a new approach: real-time verification, programmatic enforcement, and end-to-end visibility. Embedded inside the stack, not bolted on at the end.
