Pre-Roll, Mobile Top Video Ad Formats for 2012
Keywords: New Media

Online video has reached critical mass among U.S. Internet viewers. eMarketer predicts 169 million people, or 71% of U.S. Internet users, will be watching online video each month by the end of 2012.

Such a healthy, sizeable audience can't help but capture advertiser attention. eMarketer estimates U.S. online video ad spending (not all of which is placed against video) will enjoy an aggressive 40% year-over-year increase from 2011, topping $3.1 billion in 2012.

Daily Sales Tip: The Breakup

No longer can advertisers tell consumers to buy their product. Consumers have the resources available to research products and make their own decisions. Advertisers must present information in a way that allows the consumer to make a decision to purchase the advertiser's product.

Digital media are helping their advertisers understand this. Microsoft's video aimed at advertisers is a good example.

Our job as marketing consultants is to help advertisers develop messages in a way that allows consumers to make a decision favorable to the advertiser.
