Behind the Numbers: A Bigger Boat

The advanced market should expand to $681 million in 2011 (out of a total $29.6 billion multichannel-provider ad spend that year) and then hit $4 billion in 2014, representing almost 12 percent of the projected multichannel haul for that year, says Heather Way, an analyst with Parks Associates, which surveyed media buyers on their advanced ad spending plans. Parks tracks multichannel video providers because their infrastructure enables advanced ads.

The money projected to flow into advanced ad formats is not new money, Way adds. Advertisers will move some of their traditional TV ad spend to the newer formats. "We are predicting there will be a major shift in advanced TV ads in the next few years, as advertisers want to shift to more targeted TV formats that are relevant and easily targeted," Way says.
