ADVERTISING BY THE NUMBERS

Political advertisers miss between 25% and 40% of potential voters through their existing strategies, according to a report from programmatic media company MiQ. “Not only do TV buys begin to reach a point of diminishing returns more quickly than in the past, but campaigns that dial up on GRPs in search of incremental reach points end up wreaking havoc on their overall costs,” said the report. Seventy-five percent of linear TV viewers in the US are above the age of 50, noted the report. Viewers ages 18-34 made up 9.8% of overall linear viewership, while accounting for 54% of the CTV audience.

Linear TV will account for 57% of US video advertising spend in 2022, projects eMarketer, down from 62% in 2021 and 71% in 2020. Meanwhile the market share of CTV advertising will increase 18% this year, up from 15% in 2021 and 11% in 2020.

TECH TALK

For 88% of marketers, the impending deprecation of cookies will have a negative effect on scale, with 82% of C-level marketers already reporting a negative impact. That’s according to Emodo’s Voice of the Marketer Series report, which noted 88% of marketers are bullish about the adoption of AI-based audiences, with 91% already testing such solutions to improve on scale issues. Over 60% of marketers reported privacy and identity were bigger concerns than fraud and invalid traffic. “One year after Apple changed their device ID tracking model, we’re recognizing that once-promising identity alternatives such as universal IDs and first-party data collection are not providing enough scale,” said Jake Moskowitz?, Head of the Emodo Institute & VP of Data Strategy. “It’s paramount to equip brands and marketers with tools for addressability, as the concerns and negative effects of campaign effectiveness and scale are very real.”

IAB Tech Lab’s Open Measurement SDK will be made available on Connected TV starting in Q3. OM SDK gives advertisers flexibility and choice in the verification solutions from their preferred providers by making it easier for publishers to integrate one SDK and enable ad verification with all verification vendors. “Buyers need consistent and standardized cross screen viewability measurement to feel confident that their ads are being seen,” said Shailley Singh, SVP, Product, IAB Tech Lab. “With the growth of CTV, it was a critical next step to develop Open Measurement SDK for supporting CTV specific viewability signals in an established and standardized manner.” Currently, OM SDK is available for iOS, Android, and web browsers.

OOH advertising platform AdQuick.com has partnered with direct mail automation platform Lob to provide customers with cross-channel direct mail retargeting. This partnership enables advertisers to deliver direct mail advertising to an audience of consumers that have been previously exposed to outdoor ads. “With the increasing decline in digital ad effectiveness, savvy marketers are actively seeking to diversify their media mix,” said Matthew O’Connor, CEO of AdQuick. “By partnering with Lob, we’re pumped to make it easy for marketers to amplify the effectiveness of both their out-of-home ad campaigns and direct mail initiatives through coordinated, targeted, cross-channel campaigns.”

STREAMING

MyBundle.TV, the online platform to simplify streaming TV, has partnered with Frontier Communications to provide Frontier prospects and customers with free, personalized streaming and discovery tools. “To help break through the noise, Frontier will offer MyBundle.TV to its customers to provide a simplified, customized and more affordable streaming experience that doesn’t break the bank,” read a Frontier blog post.

Spotify revealed during its investor day that it drew about $215 million in podcast revenue in 2021. The company is still in “investment mode,” acknowledged Chief Content and Advertising Business Officer Dawn Ostroff, but labeled the podcast business a “$20 billion opportunity.”

AT&T has dropped HBO Max as part of its priciest unlimited wireless plan. “HBO Max is a great service, but we constantly experiment with the features we offer our customers to give them the best value,” an AT&T rep said in a statement. AT&T and HBO’s corporate kinship ended with AT&T’s spinoff on WarnerMedia to Discovery Inc. in April.

TelevisaUnivision streaming service ViX struck a deal with Leader Entertainment to bring content from the YouTube kids’ channel “El Reino Infantil” to the platform. The programming will be available in the US and most Latin American countries on a dedicated channel and on-demand on ViX.
