Good morning. It’s Wednesday, December 3, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
Comedian Bill Burr pulls no punches in Netflix special I’m Sorry You Feel That Way, premiering Friday, December 5. “If you have strong religious beliefs, politically correct opinions, or are easily offended by crude language and sexual innuendo, consider yourself warned,” cautions the trailer.

AD PLATFORMS
AOL acquired cross-screen video exchange Vidible to expand its video management tools, increase inventory, provide a self-serve platform for publishers and content owners and add more video content into AOL’s current exchanges. “AOL is focused on transforming the digital media environment by creating an open marketplace for video,” President of AOL Video and Studios Dermot McCormack said.
MediaMath released a new TerminalOne (T1) app, which provides access to the Nielsen’s Online Campaign Ratings data. “By enabling this access, we’re not only simplifying campaign measurement, but also ensuring greater consistency in how marketers measure, evaluate, and optimize marketing performance,” MediaMath Co-Founder and Senior Vice President of OPEN Partnerships Greg Williams said.
RESEARCH
Native advertising spend is expected to hit 3.2 billion by the end of 2014, and will increase 34.4 percent to $4.3 billion next year, according to a new report from eMarketer. "Traditional digital advertising has become wallpaper. It doesn’t improve anyone’s experience on a site and readers, myself included, pretty much look past it. … Brands that have a strong point of view and great partners to help them express it can enjoy massive engagement [with native],” GE’s Global Head, Media Strategy, Jason Hill told eMarketer.
Activia, Samsung and Nike took the top spots for Unruly’s most shared social video brands of 2014. Activia’s collaboration with Shakira for the World Cup, La La La (Brazil 2014), was the most shared ad of all time at 5.8 million global shares. Samsung (#Galaxy11: The Training and #Galaxy11: The Beginning campaigns) came in second at 4.3 million shares, in front of third place Nike at 3.8 million shares (The Last Game and Winner Stays). Coca-Cola took fourth place (3.3 million shares) followed by the NBA (3.1 million shares), Budweiser (3.1 million shares), GoPro (2.8 million shares), Adidas (2.8 million shares), Pepsi (2.4 million shares) and Electronic Arts in the last spot (2.3 million shares). “The video produced with Shakira in support of the World Food Programme has received an incredible response online…achieving this is also important in our approach of brand advertising, as viral or social videos have the ability to create a strong level of viewer engagement, and an active endorsement, which is a great measure of success,” Activia’s Global Marketing Director Nicolas Frerejean said.
EXEC MOVES
Evan Shapiro was appointed NBCUniversal’s Executive Vice President of Digital Enterprises. Shapiro spent the last two years at Participant Media, where he launched Pivot, a millennial-focused cable channel known for original series such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s HitRecord on TV and TakePart Live. Shapiro starts the newly created position on December 8th, and will report to NBCU Exec VP Cesar Conde. He is tasked with working on company-wide development of digital businesses and opportunities to reach audiences.
