In digital media there are only two trends to worry about
1. Rush to mobile devices
2. Programmatic ad delivery

virtually indistinguishable from
information”Nikesh Arora: Senior Vice President & Chief Business Officer - Google

Why ‘broadly’ do people use the web?
1.To find information
2.To perform a task
3.To be entertained

But this is a shitty
answer to a desktop
problem

So these ads have been developed

BANNER ADS ARE NOT THE
FUTURE OF DIGITAL DISPLAY
ADVERTISING
EVEN IF THEY EXPAND

Banners were first developed for Prodigy; then the World
wide web. They are C. 20 yrs. old

• It’s harder than ever to get the attention of digital audiences
• We live in a world where people use mobile devices to search for
and access content; as we shift to a world of mobile devices, the
ad experience and units we are used to on desktop will not work
• In many cases we are shoehorning an 18 year old format onto a
platform that didn’t exist 6 years ago
• The answer is to provide the user with meaningful and important
content; native to device and environment and totally based on
relevance
• It has to scale so the technology to hand must deliver the content
programmatically
• Are publishers geared up for this? Does the ad delivery tech exist?
The ad business MUST evolve

3.Is entertaining (video, lists, pictures, stories)
