In the digital age, marketers are racing to measure everything. That makes sense, given that digital platforms are increasing their capabilities to capture consumer data. In fact, a few months ago, we discussed the degree to which audience ratings are becoming obsolete. Well, a recent study from Kantar Millward Brown has found that the degree […]
As we’ve discussed before, digital audio advertising is an important and growing channel, one that continues to mature both from a content, inventory, reach, and technological standpoint.

All signs indicate that over-the-top (OTT) TV viewing is growing by leaps and bounds, and some big players and media buyers are following suit.
