Several key factors will help or
hinder US digital video ad spending
We’ve identified 16 forces, including…
 CTV and tablets: best for the audience
 Fear: of cannibalization and lost revenues
 Inertia: TV’s power appears everlasting
 Audience: large online, but huge TV watchers
 GRPs: common currency, but dumb down digital
 Targeting: digital’s promise, but TV more reach
 Content: TV content still attracts brand dollars

The TV industry fears digital video will
cannibalize its existing business
Many TV companies have a vested interest in
keeping digital video from undermining their
current revenue streams. Their tactics include:
 Bandwidth metering, also called data caps, could
make digital users think twice before watching another
video, since that would cost them extra or degrade their
service. Furthermore, bandwidth metering is already a
fact of life in the mobile space.
 Authentication. TV networks and cable operators
might require users to prove they are paying subscribers
before they can access video online, such as on Hulu.

large and somewhat illusory

Most brand marketers want unified TV and
video metrics before spending more on digital.

GRPs offer a common currency to bring
digital and TV together, and yet…
Many marketers say GRPs dumb down digital,
failing to measure engagement and interaction.

Blending online video with TV—and thereby
boosting digital’s growth—will be slow
It will take several years for digital video to
integrate more completely with TV advertising.
 But time is on digital’s side. The five digital screens
are where the audience increasingly watches TV and other
video content, and brands need to reach them anytime
and everywhere.
 Marketers get balance. Blending digital video into
their TV messaging offers:
 a way to reach audiences they might not have touched otherwise
 a way to engage target customers in ways that TV doesn’t allow
 a way to make their spending more cost-effective
