Sports news websites face considerable pressures during the FIFA World Cup events, including the need to provide timely coverage of multiple matches occurring simultaneously and the need to produce engaging content to attract and retain audiences.Additionally, Ran.de needed to create more premium video inventory to more effectively monetize coverage through advertising.In order to keep up with the high demand for timely and engaging video coverage of the World Cup — as well as other major sports tournaments such as those of Germany’s National Football League (Bundesliga) — Ran.de turned to Hour One for a scalable solution.
