Total U.S. digital ad spend reached a record-setting $88 billion in 2017, according to the IAB Internet Advertising Revenue Report prepared by PwC US. That’s a 21 percent increase over 2016’s $72.5 billion and marks the first time that digital ad revenues have overtaken television (broadcast and cable combined).
“Digital advertising revenues have been steadily rising for several years and buyers continue to increase their investment,” said David Silverman, Partner, PwC US. “From mobile to video, consumers are constantly turning to digital, whether for information, entertainment, shopping, sharing, or more.”
As a result, programmatic advertising plays an ever-increasing role in how advertisers get their messages out to consumers.
Why? Programmatic allows advertisers to place targeted advertising on publishers’ websites automatically. Plus, it enjoys the richest targeting capabilities within the digital world.
VONT president Tom Gale takes a moment to explain how programmatic works and why it benefits advertisers.
