Media Measurement Evolution

Advertisers:

1. CFO driven decision making- ROI

2. Fragmented attention

3. Changing retail landscape

4. More sophisticated targeting of consumers

Media Owners:

1. Increasingly own multi silo’s

2. Traditional measures can be slow to adapt- losing money to other platforms

3. Share of budget can only be grown by looking outside silo

4. Seeking direct partnership with client- know/access their tools increases chance of share of budget
