Ad Receptivity and the Ad-Supported OTT Video Viewer Ad Receptivity and the Ad-Supported OTT Video Viewer October 2018 Produced by IAB Video Center of Excellence Made Possible with the Financial Support of: Objectives and Methodology Objective: The study aimed to both size the audience and provide demographics of U.S. video streamers watching Ad- Supported Over-the-Top (ASV OTT) video. Once ASV OTT viewers were identified, a deep dive survey further explored the video viewer segments to gain insights into their behaviors, attitudes and usage in order to help better target the ASV OTT cohort. Methodology: Two online surveys were fielded among MARU/Matchbox’s Springboard America online panel (~250,000 U.S. members): 1. Omnibus study of 1,512 nationally representative U.S. 18+ sample to determine the profile of the Ad-Supported OTT Video Viewer; fielded 8/10/18. 2. Study among 1,223 consumers ages 18+ in the U.S., with age/gender quotas set to reflect viewership profiles from the omnibus study; fielded 9/25/18-9/26/18. 2 Definitions . Ad-Supported OTT Video Viewers (ASV OTT Viewers) are defined as those who watch video… Through a streaming service I watch for free and there are ads (e.g., YouTube, Pluto, Roku Channel, Crackle, Vevo, Xumo, etc.) Through an online-based cable TV provider (e.g., Sling TV, DirecTV Now) Through a streaming app that requires a cable/satellite/telco login (e.g., Discovery GO, FX app, WatchESPN, Xfinity, Spectrum, etc.) Through a streaming service I subscribe to for a monthly fee, and there are ads (e.g., Hulu with limited ads, CBS All Access with limited ads, etc.) . Free Ad-Supported OTT Video Viewers (Free ASV OTT Viewers), a subset of ASV OTT, are defined as those who watch video… Through a streaming service I watch for free and there are ads (e.g., YouTube, Pluto, Roku Channel, Crackle, Vevo, Xumo, etc.) . Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) Viewers defined as those who watch video… Through a streaming service I subscribe to for a monthly fee, and there are no ads (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Go/Now, Showtime App, etc.) . TV Viewers are defined as those who watch… ‘Regular’ (not cable) TV to access free local channels (e.g., ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc.) using an antenna or ‘over the air’ Through my cable/satellite/telco provider (e.g., live TV, DVR, VOD) TV Only Viewers = those who only watch TV/Cable Heavy = those who watch TV/cable daily+ Light = those who watch TV/cable weekly or less 3 Key Takeaways 73% of adults 18+ who typically watch streaming OTT video say they watch ad-supported OTT video 45% of adults 18+ who typically watch streaming OTT video say they watch ad-supported OTT video most out of streaming videos Ad-Supported OTT Video Viewers (ASV OTT) are an INCREMENTAL audience: • ASV OTT viewers do NOT typically watch linear TV (ASV OTT viewers spend less time watching cable than SVOD OTT viewers)—they are an incremental reach. • Over half are cord cutters/shavers with over one-third citing ‘better content on streaming services’ as a reason. ASV OTT Viewers are a HIGH-VALUE audience: • Profile: Younger; with kids in household; skews male. • Similar to SVOD OTT viewers except that they skew more male. • Very different from TV only viewers: Younger; more male; diverse; with kids; higher income. ASV OTT Viewers are an ENGAGED audience: • Roughly 1 in 3 ASV OTT Viewers say that ads on free ASV OTT services are better than TV commercials. • About 1 in 3 say ASV OTT ads are more engaging, relevant and unique than TV commercials. 4 Key Takeaways ASV OTT Viewers watch a variety of platforms Over 2-in-5 ASV OTT Viewers are watching more ASV OTT video than they did a year ago. ASV OTT Viewers are receptive to ads: They are much more likely than SVOD OTT viewers to enjoy ads, find them useful, have higher engagement with them and to enjoy interacting with ads. More ASV OTT Viewers try new brands, are brand influencers and buy direct brands. Compared to SVOD OTT Viewers and TV Only Viewers, ASV OTT Viewers are more likely to follow Social Influencer stars and they spend more on subscription purchases (e.g., meal kits or contact lenses). 5 Why Does This Matter? ASV OTT viewers are a valuable audience who are similar in demographic to SVOD OTT viewers but reachable primarily through ASV. They are a more desirable audience than TV Only viewers. ASV OTT viewers can be more elusive to target than TV Only or SVOD OTT Viewers but can be found on ad-supported video OTT channels, where they are watching more ASV OTT than a year ago. Despite being the typical ad blocking demo (young, male), ASV OTT viewers are more receptive to advertising than either SVOD OTT or TV Only viewers. What’s more, many report that they enjoy interacting with ads. In fact, ASV OTT viewers think of ads on this platform as being better. ASV OTT viewers report that they are open to new brands, new ways of advertising and marketing and have a penchant for direct brands. This target is prime for direct brand messaging. 6 Meet the ASV OTT Viewer 7 73% of adults 18+ who typically watch streaming video say they watch ad-supported OTT video QS1_Services.

The film consists of three seemingly separate but ultimately interlinked storylines about a comic book artist, a novelist, and a film director. Each character lives in a separate world but authors a story about the life of another. The comic book artist, Emma, works by day at an artificial love doll factory, and is hoping to undergo a secret cosmetic procedure. Emma’s comic tells the story of Edward, a cocky film director with a debilitating secret about his anatomy. The director, Edward, creates a film that features Michelle, an aspiring novelist who escapes to Brazil and abandons her former life as a model. Michelle, pens a novel that tells the tale of Emma, who works at an artificial love doll factory… And so it goes..

  • The Value of Behavioral Targeting By
    The Value of Behavioral Targeting by Howard Beales1 This study seeks to provide an initial understanding of the effect of behaviorally targeted advertising on advertising rates and revenues. A survey of twelve ad networks was conducted to obtain quarterly data on pricing (CPM data), conversion rates, and revenues across various types of ad segments (run of network advertising and behavioral advertising). The survey results reveal three key findings: (1) Advertising rates are significantly higher for behaviorally targeted ads. The average CPM for behaviorally targeted advertising is just over twice the average CPM for run-of-network advertising. On average across participating networks, the price of behaviorally targeted advertising in 2009 was 2.68 times the price of run of network advertising. (2) Advertising using behavioral targeting is more successful than standard run of network advertising, creating greater utility for consumers from more relevant advertisements and clear appeal for advertisers from increased ad conversion. (3) Finally, a majority of network advertising revenue is spent acquiring inventory from publishers, making behavioral targeting an important source of revenue for online content and services providers as well as third party ad networks. This study was sponsored by the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI). The NAI is a coalition of more than 40 leading online marketing companies committed to building consumer awareness and reinforcing responsible business and data management practices and standards. For a description of the NAI and a list of its members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/index.asp (last visited Mar. 3, 2010). 1. Howard Beales has been an Associate Professor at the School of Business at George Washington University since 1988.

Familiarity with supersymmetry, general relativity and string theory is helpful, but not necessary, as the course intends to be as self-contained as possible. I will intro- duce the needed elements of field and gauge theory, general relativ- ity, supersymmetry, supergravity, strings and conformal field the- ory. Then I describe the basic AdS-CFT scenario, of = 4 Super Yang-Mills’s relation to string theory in AdS5 S5, andN applications that can be derived from it: 3-point functions,× quark-antiquark po- tential, finite temperature and scattering processes, the pp wave correspondence and spin chains. I also describe some general prop- erties of gravity duals of gauge theories. 1 Introduction These notes are based on lectures given at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and at the Tokyo Metropolitan University in 2007. The full material is designed to be taught in 12 lectures of 1.5 hours each, each lecture corresponding to a section. I have added some material at the end dealing with current research on obtaining models that better describe QCD. Otherwise, the course deals with the basic AdS-CFT scenario, relating string theory 5 in AdS5 S to = 4 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 4 dimensions, since this is the best understood× N and the most rigorously defined case.

  • Article Title
    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 11, No. 41, Autumn 2017, 1 The Future is Cordless: How the Cordless Future will Impact Traditional Television SABRINA JO LEWIS Director of Business Affairs, Paramount Television, USA Introduction A cord-cutter is a person who cancels a paid television subscription or landline phone connection for an alternative Internet-based or wireless service. Cord-cutting is the result of competitive new media platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, iTunes and YouTube. As new media platforms continue to expand and dominate the industry, more consumers are prepared to cut cords to save money. Online television platforms offer consumers customized content with no annual contract for a fraction of the price. As a result, since 2012, nearly 8 million United States households have cut cords, according to Wall Street research firm MoffettNathanson.1 One out of seven Americans has cut the cord.2 Nielsen started counting internet-based cable-like service subscribers at the start of 2017 and their data shows that such services have at least 1.3 million customers and are still growing.3 The three most popular subscription video-on-demand (“SVOD”) providers are Netflix, Amazon Prime and HULU Plus. According to Entertainment Merchants Association’s annual industry report, 72% of households with broadband subscribe to an SVOD service.4 During a recent interview on CNBC, Corey Barrett, a senior media analyst at M Science, explained that Hulu, not Netflix, appears to be driving the recent increase in cord-cutting, meaning cord-cutting was most pronounced among Hulu subscribers.5 Some consumers may decide not to cut cords because of sports programming or the inability to watch live programing on new media platforms.

  • What Journalists Need to Know About Super PAC
    What journalists need to know about Super PAC ads his is the first presidential election in which Americans will be inundated with television advertisements aired by Super Political Action Committees. Often negative, these ads frequently mislead voters, provide little or no information, are often inaccurate and reveal the media’s unclean hands when it comes to undermining democracy, observers warn. And it’s about to get worse. The Republican Primary is providing only a preview of what voters and viewers can expect in the presidential race. The involvement of Super PACs in the 2012 Republican primary contest has skyrocketed with a 1,600 percent increase in interest-group sponsored ads aired as compared to 2008, according to a study released by the Wesleyan Media Project, which tracks advertising in federal elections. The ads include: • A mini-documentary attack ad against former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by a Super PAC supportive of rival Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives; • An ad calling into question Gingrich’s relationship with former President Ronald Reagan, as well as another featuring former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw reporting on Gingrich’s ethical problems in 1997, both sponsored by a Super PAC supportive of Romney that is headed by one of his former campaign managers and bankrolled by wealthy hedge fund managers; • Political satirist Stephen Colbert has even gotten in on the act by creating his own Super PAC, giving it away to business partner (and fellow comedian) Jon Stewart so that he could run in the South Carolina Republican primary, and also so the Super PAC could run an calling Romney a serial jobs killer.
