2. In spite of the increase in popularity of online video advertising a lack of data around video advertising efficacy is stopping some from pursuing online video advertising more aggressively.
3. 87% of respondents to the survey stated the plan to spend more on online video advertising. (13% said less)
4. The report concluded that agencies need to stop re purposing TV content and use multiple, lower-cost creative assets that better target response rates for campaigns online.
5 The majority of respondents expect online CPM prices to decrease either marginally or significantly next year.
