Branding dollars spent on TV ads should shift to online video ads for several reasons:
1) Online video ad load is 5% while TV ad load is 23-30%, allowing users to see fewer ads online.
2) Users pay more attention to and skip online video ads less than TV ads.
3) Advertisers only pay for online video ads that users actually watch through to completion.
4) Online videos can better measure user interaction and follow-on actions than TV ads.

Using their databases, they came up
with a 2013 average CPM for online,
in-stream video ads of $23.03. That
seems on the high side in my opinion
and they say it is 38% higher than the
average 18-49 CPM for prime time
cable TV. Meanwhile, network TV was
almost double that of online in-stream
video ads at $44.11.

“As more users shift their consumption
online, TV advertisers should more
rapidly shift ad spend to digital video as
well, to achieve a variety of benefits and
advantages such as more real-time

Mobile still has a long way to go before
it can compete with television for time
spent, however. Consumers today spend
just over an hour a day using their
mobile phones, or seven hours and 50
minutes a week, but they spend more
than three times that watching
television. In fact, nearly one-in-six
adults watch more than 40 hours of
television in a typical week.
