Spotloader

Your Solution. Built.

A chief engineer and long-time Spotloader customer said it best:

— This is exactly what the doctor ordered!

For years, broadcasters have cobbled together DIY solutions for local ads—emails, spreadsheets, non-specific hosted services, shared drives, and FTP servers. These tools were not built for industry-specific validation, metadata handling, and integrations. They also introduce security risks and hidden costs and can overextend already-stretched teams. Lastly, they are not managed and backed by expert human support.

Why broadcasters choose Spotloader:

• Streamlined and Secure Workflows: Replace inefficient, incomplete, and often insecure processes—such as emails, spreadsheets, upload portals, and FTP servers—with a centralized, robust, and secure platform.
• Standardized Commercial Operations: Integrate local ads and promos into the same workflows and systems you already use for other content.
• Early Issue Detection: Identify problems with technical specifications, metadata, and compliance much earlier in the process, avoiding last-minute scrambles.
• Exceptional Support: Receive qualified human support, production guidance, and hands-on assistance to help resolve urgent or complex situations.
• Asset Management and Communication: Easily locate needed assets and improve collaboration among all stakeholders.
• Tap Into a Growing Network: Join an expanding network of agencies, advertisers, content producers, and other broadcasters, fostering greater collaboration and efficiency.
• Repurposing Tools: Quickly validate and adapt commercials and promos for digital channels, including VAST validation.
• Traffic Instructions: Optionally, receive traffic instructions via email or electronically.
• A True Partnership: Count on our commitment to a lasting partnership to help you meet current and future challenges.
• ...And More: Closed caption your latest campaign, distribute your own content across stations and networks, expand possibilities with APIs and custom development...
