How native video is changing the game for today's publishers The latest innovations from Teads' Chairman Pierre Chappaz: preview the latest online video eye-tracking research showing how publishers can leverage outstream formats to win and host an insightful panel debate on audience monetization opportunities and how today's publishers can future proof their business. Generation Z: Paving way for a creative, sustainable advertising ecosystem. In partnership with Marketing Week On average, each consumer owns up to four devices, with households averaging at around 9 at any one time. This is a enormous, tech based environment in comparison to the mere two screens we held just a decade ago. Far from the days of the banner ads, today's ecosystem holds a plethora of formats to compliment a variety of devices, a diverse set of users in a range of native moments. Yet we're falling into an industry trap whereby we're utilizing today's tech but repurposing yesterday's creative. Digitally, the average millennial consumes 130+ pages of web content, 2 hours of video, shares 20+ pieces of content and is exposed to 1,500 commercial messages across 3 screens – every single day. When you look at this through the generation Z lens it becomes even more intense with 99% of them consuming media in some shape or form throughout the day, and it's the mobile which sits at the very heart of this. It's time to design by device and think mobile-first to truly maximize the current potential that lies within the up and coming generation Z. How can we build a true cross-screen environment? Can we truly ensure advertising is user-friendly and engaging? Join Teads and Marketing Week's Teads Salon panel to find out how we join creativity and technology to champion a sustainable advertising ecosystem. Optimising video formats for mobile In 2020, mobile advertising spend will surpass TV spend globally according to eMarketer. Despite this trend and the migration of users to mobile devices, the standard TV ad is still dominating online video advertising, driving low completion rates and poor ad effectiveness. Teads will be launching their brand new research conducted with Ipsos, exploring the uplift of adapting creative and video formats to mobile screens. This presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with digital creative agencies and advertisers.
