Let’s look at some data
Dollars have moved online

Rapid growth of mobile advertising
Facebook + Google rule
Let’s look at banners:

Why are CPMs so low?
•Supply and demand
•Many ads delivered off-page
•Ads are blocked
•Poor mobile performance
•Ad fraud from bots
•Not a “lean in” format
Fundamentally, banners are an
interruption-based ad unit – low
impression value
Typical response rates
Targeted email 5.00%
Direct mail 3.00%
Rich media 0.14%
Banner ad 0.08%
(almost) no one clicks

The Attention Crash
“We are reaching a point where the number of inputs
we have as individuals is beginning to exceed what
we are capable as humans of managing. The
demands for our attention are becoming so great, and
the problem so widespread, that it will cause people
to crash and curtail these drains. Human attention
does not obey Moore’s Law.”
