A few weeks ago, we partnered with Digiday to gauge marketer, agency, network, exchange and DSP’s perspective on the current and future role of data in their digital marketing efforts. We wanted to get inside the head of data buyers and understand the data challenges and opportunities top of mind for marketers as we close out 2012 and move into the new year.
Across the board, we found that at least 80% of Agencies, networks/exchanges and DSPs, and Marketers embrace audience targeting.
And each of these companies are employing audience targeting for more than half of their digital campaigns. In September, the IAB and Price Waterhouse Coopers projected that 2012 display ad spend will total $14.98 billion. That means almost $8 billion in ad spend includes audience targeted media.
