• 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
