U.S. Digital Sponsorship Ad Spending
(U.S. $BB)
37. Content: Growth Paced by the Rise of Native
Ad Networks and Programmatic Native
Native Ad Networks
• A set of early-stage companies are
attempting to bring scale to native—
essentially becoming ad networks for
sponsored content
• Will we see IAB-type standardization
of content-based ad formats?
• Will we see ease of implementation
across sites vs. one-off publisher
negotiations or closed networks?
Programmatic Native
• Others are attempting to bring scale to
native via programmatic models—
using RTB and private exchanges to
place content
• Can they solve for brand safety?
• Can they solve for content sequencing?
• Will they add to the data-driven
Omnichannel experience?
38. Recently approved 4.3% exigent
postal rate increase—on top of the
regular increase—is this
temporary – or not?
Could turn growth forecasts for
volume upside down—and
accelerate the marketing spend
shift to digital alternatives—even if
the USPS revenue numbers look
better in the short term

Will MarketersTurn to Digital Alternatives?
39. 2013 - Programmatic RTB
accounted for $3.56BB of
marketing spend, 23% of all
display ad spend
2014 - programmatic RTB is
expected to reach $4.45BB of

2016 Forecast: 35% of all digital
display ad spending will be RTB

40. Measurement standards for digital
display a top priority for
marketers: Viewability metrics a
likely outcome
- Quality of impressions increase
and number of impressions
decline
- CPMs Rise with reduced
inventory
- Quality drives performance, ROI
on unseen ads remains zero

Measurement Drive More Digital Spend
41. Facebook releases custom
audiences with data segments
from preferred partners and a
“BYO CRM” plan for look-a-like
modeling
Twitter opens up advertising to
CRM data with Tailored Audiences
offering (and sells $47MM of data
pre-IPO)
Agencies see significant
performance lift from use—rivaling

Goes Mainstream
42. A majority of marketers rely on
data but 45% say they don’t have
access to the data they need
Programmatic approaches,
Omnichannel audience
recognition, attribution,
measurement
DMPs and tag management
adoption play a more central role
as they collect, segment and
activate data online

43. Traditional campaign management
platforms go from mail and email
to social, mobile and display
Media driven DSPs evolve to
support marketing execution
across media channels (display,
social, search) and formats
(mobile, video, native)
Following multiple acquisitions
now comes the hard part:

44. “Second screen” tablet adoption
combines with “smart” connected
TVs and game consoles—fueling
cross-platform video advertising
Viewing data linked to
programmatic execution propels
growth in this key channel for
consumer engagement
“Connected” TVs are more
important than “pixel counts”

45. Major marketing organizations are
restructuring or downsizing to
support a unified global /
multinational approach (Unilever,
P&G, Colgate, Energizer)
Deeper reliance on analytics and
metrics to justify channel spend,
staffing investment
Programmatic execution approaches
lead to reallocation of staff away
from execution and towards strategy

Big Deals: Publicom, Adobe-Neolane,
Sales Force-Exact Target, Oracle-

Who’s next - DSPs, Ad Networks,
large agencies?
Valuation remains high driven by
public prices, plenty of cash that
