AOL is once again expanding its programmatic buying biz, acquiring the TV audience-targeting platform PrecisionDemand to integrate with Adap.TV. "With PrecisionDemand now on board at AOL, we are accelerating our efforts in creating the platforms needed to manage today’s multiscreen video world," Adap.TV CEO Toby Gabriner said in a blog post. AOL acquired Adap.TV last year for $405 million, and announced the programmatic ad platform, ONE, in March 2014.
Conde Nast has extended its programmatic sales technology partnership with Google. Ad Age reports the publisher has privately been within Google’s ad exchange since 2011, and plans to double down on pitching advertisers on programmatically buying its Lightbox ads. Major publishers including The New York Times, Time inc., and Hearst also run private exchanges with Google.
Aditya Chatterjee joined Global Eagle Entertainment as its new Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Engineering. Chatterjee was most recently CTO and Vice president of Engineering for Spacenet.
People are sharing videos at almost double the rate they were just a year ago. According to new research from Unruly, its Social Diffusion Curve, measuring how fast videos are spread across social networks, showed shares within the first week of a video release increased from 37 percent in 2013 to 65 percent this year. The research also showed 42 percent of a video’s total shares happen within the first three days of launch in social streams.
Digital advertising spending is expected to grow faster in media and entertainment than in other U.S. industries, hitting $8.54 billion by 2018. "Virtually every advertiser has a dual need to build their brand and also drive lower-funnel actions," Yahoo‘s VP of North American Field Sales Mark Ellis told eMarketer. "Some super high-end branded advertisers will never sell anything online, and some direct marketers are only interested in driving acquisitions. So everyone is playing both sides."
