2016 IN REVIEW
The proliferation of screens and devices, as well as the accessibility of (video) content anytime,
anywhere are undeniable developments. Brands and advertisers worldwide are investing an
increasing amount of their media budgets into digital channels and leveraging video’s ability
to influence audiences with compelling storytelling through sight, sound and motion. As the
competition for consumer eyeballs becomes fiercer, effectively navigating the ever-changing
media landscape becomes imperative for a brand’s success. For this reason, each year
Videology takes a deep dive into the trends and developments within leading EMEA markets.
Our 2016 EMEA Benchmarks Report provides brands and agencies with key insights into
the complex world of converging TV and digital video. Whilst broadcast TV continued to
command the lion’s share of media spend in all European markets, digital video investments
were at an all-time high. In the UK, digital video ad spend reached the billion pound mark
(£1.08 billion, as estimated by eMarketer). In Ireland, digital video rose by a staggering 85
percent in Q1 2016 vs. Q1 2015, whilst in Turkey it grew by 51 percent compared to 2015. As
budgets increase, so does the importance of defining a successful marketing strategy that
effectively and efficiently reaches and influences a brand’s desired audience across all screens.
Videology believe that in order to deliver better advertising, brands and agencies need to
view the entirety of the video ecosystem through a single lens: Total TV. Linear broadcast TV
will remain the centre of gravity for the foreseeable future, across nearly all audiences. That
viewing diversifies out from this centre as devices, distribution and consumption are enabled
by emerging technologies that support video. The most effective video advertising strategies
will be those that have a unified and holistic approach to the video ecosystem, as opposed to
those that only activate via silo-solutions, and only solve for one part of the equation.
Researcher IHS estimates that by 2020 online video advertising spend in EMEA will amount
to €3.8 billion. Given the sizable investment, it is imperative that advertisers and agencies
are armed with the insight and technology to successfully allocate, optimise and execute
audiovisual (AV) budgets, thus maximising return on investment for advertisers.

Digital ad spend in Finland reached €346 million, just over a quarter of the €1.27 billion total media ad spend in 2016
(eMarketer). By 2020, digital ad spend is estimated to reach €432 million, accounting for a third of total media spend.
Whilst live TV consumption still dominates screen time, digital streaming platforms are increasingly becoming an integral part
of viewers’ overall video consumption. According to AudienceProject, 82 percent of Finnish internet users in 2016 were digital
video viewers. Digital video viewing happens across multiple screens – for 82 percent of the audience PCs were the preferred
choice, compared to 58 percent who chose mobile phones and 43 percent who selected tablets. Device proliferation increased,
as did the sophistication with which marketers execute their media campaigns. 62 percent of all video campaigns within the
Videology platform in Finland ran on VPAID integrations, vs. 9 percent in 2015. This benefits marketers with enhanced creative
and measurement.

TV captured the lion’s share of media investment in France – 31.9 percent – as well as constituted the longest time spent with
major media per day – 3 hours and 50 minutes (eMarketer).
Digital video continues to reach more consumers, and therefore attract advertiser investment. In 2016, the French video market
grew to €419 million and was estimated at €662 million by 2020 (eMarketer), accounting for a 58% growth within four years. 55
percent of French internet users consumed digital video at least weekly (TNS’s ‘Consumer Barometer’).
Furthermore, mobile devices played an increasingly important role in the way video was viewed, as 32 percent of video
consumption took place on a mobile phone or tablet in 2016. This trend was also reflected in the mobile impressions that
Videology ad decisioned in France - 12.3 percent of all campaign impressions in 2016 - a 38 percent increase year-on-year.

Digital video advertising in Ireland rose by a staggering 85 percent in H1 2016 compared to H1 2015 (H2 numbers haven’t
been released prior to the publication of Videology’s EMEA Benchmarks, though we expect this trend to be consistent for the
entirety of 2016). This is even stronger growth than what the IAB/PwC reported in 2015 vs. 2014 (70 percent growth from
€14.4 million in 2014 to €24.5 million in 2015). Digital video investment in H1 2016 alone was €20 million, reflective of both
increased media consumption and advertiser confidence.
PwC further predicts that digital video ad spend in Ireland will see a 16.5 percent growth per year during the period 2016 to
2020. This is attributed to digital video’s ability to both build brands and deliver difficult to reach light-TV audiences.
24 percent of adults visit a brand’s website after seeing a video ad, whilst 20 percent search online for that brand. Moreover,
59 percent of 15 to 24 year olds in Ireland watch more VOD than TV (IAB Ireland Report ‘The Power of VOD’).

Linear TV investment in the Netherlands commanded €983 million in 2016 (IAB Netherlands), as 94 percent of Dutch adults
continued to watch TV live, on a TV set (TNS). Digital streaming platforms, however, are increasingly growing in importance, when
it comes to Dutch viewers’ overall media consumption. A quarter of internet users in the Netherlands streamed digital content
on devices other than the TV set (TNS). 54 percent of all video campaigns within the Videology platform in the Netherlands ran
on a VPAID integration in 2016, compared to 36 percent in 2015. This reflects marketers’ efforts to enhance the interactivity and
measurement capabilities of their campaigns.
The financial sector accounted for the largest share of digital ad spend in the Netherlands, capturing 13.4 percent of total digital
investment (Deloitte / IAB Netherlands). The financial sector was also the leading vertical in terms of impression volume within
the Videology platform in the Netherlands.

In 2016, the investment in digital media in Norway was up year-on-year by 17 percent amounting to €850 million.
The market ranked fourth globally both in terms of total media ad spend per person and digital ad spend per internet user
down from third position in 2015 (eMarketer). The market ranked fourth globally both in terms of total media ad spend per
person and digital ad spend per internet user down from third position in 2015, swapping positions with the UK (eMarketer).
Live TV still received the lion’s share of consumers’ screen time, amounting to 184 minutes per day in 2016. Live, on a TV set
was also the way 86 percent of all Norwegians viewed TV content (TNS). Digital video viewing continued to be on the rise.
Data from AudienceProject suggests that 91 percent of internet users polled watched some type of video across multiple
devices, and the percentage was even higher amongst young adults – 98 percent. This observation is also mirrored in the
way Videology’s clients in Norway ran their video campaigns in 2016. 17.4 percent of all campaign impressions were
delivered on a mobile device in 2016, vs. 11.8 percent in 2015.

Investment in TV advertising in Spain reached €1.9 billion in 2016, making up 39.8 percent of total media spend (eMarketer). TV
still dominated the country’s advertising landscape, to a greater degree than in the UK or France.
The second largest portion of Spain’s advertising market could be attributed to digital, which in 2016 reached €1.23 billion.
By 2020, the investment in the Spanish digital market is expected to grow even further and be worth €1.5 billion. Digital video
gained strong traction in the market. eMarketer predicts that by 2020 digital video revenues will reach €211 million, across all
devices, up from €146 million in 2016.
Within the Videology platform, 13.1 percent of all campaign impressions in Spain were delivered on mobile devices in 2016, up
from 3 percent in 2015, as advertisers and agencies look to reach their target audience across the devices which consumers are
using to view video content.

2016 was the year that internet usage achieved a stronger penetration amongst Swedish adults than traditional TV.
82.8 percent of 16 to 80 year olds in Sweden went online daily compared to 77.2 percent who watched TV daily (TNS Sifo).
Nevertheless, TV continued to be the medium which commanded the largest share of consumers’ time – 148 minutes a day
on average vs. 133 minutes spent online.
Digital video viewing in Sweden has become commonplace, as 90 percent of internet users are said to watch digital video
on multiple devices monthly (AudienceProject). The percentage was even higher for younger audiences – 97 percent of
those aged 15 to 25. Video streaming is another alternative to traditional TV viewing that is gaining traction. TNS Sifo found
that 60 percent of 15 to 45 year olds streamed video on a weekly basis in Sweden. This device proliferation will only
continue to rise, highlighting the need to manage cross-screen viewing holistically in order best control reach and
frequency.

2016 VIDEOLOGY AVERAGES
In 2016, digital video advertising in Turkey reached €25 million in H1 of 2016 and accounted for a 51 percent year-on-year
increase (IAB Turkey). H2 numbers haven’t been released by IAB Turkey prior to the publication of Videology’s EMEA
Benchmarks, though we expect this trend to be consistent for the entirety of 2016.
This number is only expected to rise in coming years. Internet penetration in Turkey is forecast to see rapid growth between 2016
and 2020, as the percentage of residents who go online is forecast to jump from 55.2 percent to 65.0 percent (eMarketer).
PCs were the main device residents in Turkey used to go online – 44 percent – followed by a further 42 percent who did so via
Smartphones (eMarketer). Tablets, on the other hand, remained a luxury, as only 5.8 percent of the Turkish population own this
device, Kantar Media found. Tablet penetration is estimated to be much higher amongst affluent users (11 percent) compared to
residents with lower income (3.6 percent)

Consumers in the UK continue to embrace digital media, spending an average of 4 hours and 45 minutes a day with digital
content in 2016 (eMarketer).
Digital video budgets were at an all-time high, equating to £1.08 billion in 2016. This amount is expected to double by 2020,
reaching £2.03 billion, as advertisers and agencies embrace video’s ability to effectively and efficiently reach and influence
audiences (eMarketer).
A notable change in how brands in the UK delivered their digital video campaigns was the increase in impressions that ran on
connected TVs. In 2016, 6.6 percent of campaign impressions were delivered to this device, more than doubling year-on-year.
This is reflective of the strong consumer uptake of over-the-top content and viewing via connected TVs.

Digital video experienced unprecedented year-on-year growth, especially in markets
such as Ireland and Turkey, where video investments increased by 85 percent and
51 percent respectively.
View through rate was the leading objective in the majority of European markets,
as advertisers strove to maximise the time consumers spent with their creative.
Demographic targeting within digital video was the most popular targeting type across
all European countries, indicative of advertisers’ TV-like approach to audience targeting
on VOD. However, advertisers and agencies also increasingly took advantage of smarter
targeting opportunities, leveraging behavioural and geographical targeting to reach
audiences throughout the purchase funnel.
Videology observed a stark difference in device split across markets, ranging from
53 percent of impressions on mobile in Ireland to 0.1 percent in Turkey. This is reflective
of advertiser demand, widespread 4G infrastructure and access to content.
The split between VAST vs. VPAID integrations differed widely across markets, from
34 percent VPAID in Ireland to 99 percent in Turkey, as marketers looked to introduce
rich interactive video ad experiences and enhanced measurement.
Connected TV commanded up to 6.6 percent of the total campaign impressions in
advanced markets such as the UK, a large growth compared to 2.8 percent in 2015.
This trend is only expected to increase going forward, as CTV and OTT inventory
availability increases.
