The world of advertising is changing dramatically with shifts in consumer behavior and growing online and pay TV video-on-demand (VOD) services, reports In-Stat. These shifts among others are creating a growing market for advanced video advertising, which In-Stat projects will approach $5 billion by 2013.
Online VoD services, such as Hulu, CBS Interactive and ABC.com, are already driving growing advanced advertising revenue across their platforms. During the next five years, Pay-TV approaches to advanced advertising tied to popular TV shows, videos, movies and music content will come into their own.
“The online VoD industry has the early lead for delivering Advanced Video Advertising, but the Pay-TV industry is moving quickly and will surpass broadband VOD by 2012,” says Gerry Kaufhold, In-Stat analyst. “Because Pay-TV services deliver qualified, repeatable audiences, we expect them to be able to negotiate higher Cost per Thousand (CPM) fees than online services.”
Advanced Advertising is the next-generation approach that permits advertisers to dramatically improve their targeting, reporting, and overall return on investment (ROI.)
Recent research by In-Stat found the following:
— TV Everywhere initiatives will extend ad-supported Pay-TV VOD services to online and mobile users.
— Among the key companies enabling advanced video advertising are Adobe, Arris, Brightcove, Cisco, Motorola, Rovi, Sigma Systems, and thePlatform.
— The Cable TV industry’s Canoe Ventures is working to help Pay-TV operators create large, plan-able audiences that can be cost-effectively sold directly to the large national advertisers.
Recent In-Stat research, US Advanced Advertising (#IN0904467MBI), covers the US market for the value of Advanced Advertising services. It includes:
— Examination of the next-generation approach to advertising.
— Analysis of how this approach impacts new and old media outlets.

This research is part of In-Stat’s Multimedia Broadband Infrastructure service. By 2012, 92% of US households will be connected to Broadband, making the Internet the single most-widely available Content distribution system. Telephone companies, wireless carriers, TV networks, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Subscription-TV (Pay-TV) operators are making major investments to support Personalized Content services that use broadband. What happens on the Internet is shaping TV, and mobility is now a key growth area. The twin concepts of “the mobile Internet” and “computing in the cloud” are going to disrupt current business models because networks absolutely must inter-operate to be more efficient. Asset Management and Transcoding will be vital to move Content across an ever-growing range of devices that connect to a multitude of networks.
In-Stat’s MBI service provides vital insights about how competing service providers are extending their delivery capabilities across over-the-air, wired and wireless “final mile” networks to make Personalized Content the killer application. MBI sets up side-by-side comparisons among competing market segments and provides our opinions about how companies can succeed. MBI covers all geographic regions, keeping subscribers abreast of new developments or trends occurring anywhere in the world that may have an impact on their business.

Sonic Branding For Social Media: Engage, Align, Connect
By Chad Cook -- With more than five billion people accessing social media daily, savvy brands understand the importance of cultivating a strong social identity. They devote massive resources toward brand awareness, audience targeting, content strategy and community engagement. Yet, while they know that social platforms are critical to boosting sales and attracting new customers, many neglect one of the most effective tools for connecting with consumers: sonic branding. Marketers often associate sonic branding with catchy mnemonics used by big brands like McDonald’s, Netflix and Intel in their advertising. But that is a very limited view of what sonic branding is and what it can do. Sonic branding is a way to build awareness and stimulate engagement across all touch points, from advertising to broadcast digital, in-person and social. And it’s not limited to members of the Fortune 500. Brands at all levels can benefit from a sonic identity that is memorable, engaging and reflective of its core values. Sound has been scientifically proven to be deeply tied to memory and emotion. There’s a reason that certain songs stick in your head and bring back memories formed years or even decades earlier. So, it’s surprising that sonic branding is often an afterthought in marketing plans. That is especially true in social media marketing. Faced with tight deadlines and strained budgets, creative teams are often tempted to select music for their content simply because it “fits.” Unfortunately, that may result in content that is in tune with what’s trending but is out of tune with brand identity. Effective sonic branding, by contrast, requires thoughtful strategic planning,... Read More
