August 30, 2017: As the media industry continues its shift to digital platforms, comScore has identified 10 issues that “continue to burn hot across the industry.”[1]
Many of the issues focus on the challenges of audience measurement and defining value for advertisers. One complicating factor is the tremendous variety of content forms, a dramatic change from the television era.
While these issues are of primary concern to the advertising industry, the way they are resolved will have a significant impact on the content that is produced and how we are able to view it.
The 10 issues are:
- Bridging the Divide Between TV and Digital
- Advanced Audience Data
- Monetizing Mobile
- Measuring Unduplicated Reach Across Platforms
- Cross-Device Marketing
- Programmatic Pressure on CPMs
- Moving Beyond Viewability
- Filtering Big Botnets
- The Value of Attention
- Advertising Attribution
The comScore report says, "The good news is that progress is being made on all fronts.” Their final conclusion is that “digital can be a bit messy at times, but the future remains bright!”
See the full report to get comScore's thoughts on these issues.
