In a November column Parks Associates’ Eric Sorensen, director of Streaming Video Tracker, zeroed in on the growth of ad-supported streaming and evolution of formats.
“Innovative ad formats, such as unskippable, paused ads and T-commerce, are helping to boost engagement and drive sales. The proliferation of ad-supported services provides advertisers with more options for ad placement and a wider reach, while advances in data mining and analytics make it possible to run highly targeted and interactive advertising campaigns,” wrote Sorensen. “The success of an AVOD, SAVOD, or FAST service is dependent on engaging relevant ads for the viewer which in turn drives ad revenue. If services do not leverage interactive advertising experiences, they are at risk of consumers churning out.”
