Produced in cooperation with the IAB Agency Advisory Board, composed of 36 senior executives from across the creative and media-buying arenas, the report demonstrates that the need to reach the "liquid consumer" has strong and specific implications for the creation, organization, distribution, and measurement of content.

The report highlights key ways that "liquid audiences" should impact content and marketing strategies. Among them:
"The digital media and marketing industry is in the business of reaching audiences anywhere, anytime and any place," said Rothenberg. "It is critical to have a deep understanding of how the 'liquid consumer' behaves in order to reach that audience effectively. I am excited to talk to Danielle Lee of Vevo and Athan Stephanopoulos of NowThisNews to see how they are rising to the challenges." "Audiences are taking various routes to get to the content they crave," said Anna Bager, Senior Vice President, Mobile and Video, and General Manager of the IAB Digital Video and Mobile Marketing Centers of Excellence. "The media landscape has evolved into an incredibly complex ecosystem, with roads and paths that are hard to map - making it almost impossible to pin down today's consumer." "Content - whether created by a publisher or a brand - is at the heart of the digital media industry," said Stephanie Gaines, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at YuMe. "And audiences are finding new and exciting ways to consume the content they love. With so much data now at our disposal, it's up to us to deliver it in nuanced, innovative ways that suit the contexts and the circumstances that audiences have come to expect, and this report is an important step in the right direction."
