More Switching To Online Video Advertising
10 Mar
(Marketingmagazine.com.my) – Southeast Asia is experiencing a rapid increase in the use of mobile video. In 2015, most publishers said their video sales had increased, with over a quarter saying sales were up by more than 25%.
The medium faces some challenges however, with buyers indicating demographic targeting, cross-device campaigns, and attribution were issues facing mobile advertising.
An AOL study whose findings were released today also highlights the increasing adoption of programmatic technology.
More than 50% of publishers surveyed said they were using programmatic to sell their premium video inventory.
The study found three quarters of all buyers and sellers currently involved with video advertising increased their video budget in 2015.
Respondents said they had shifted budgets from a variety of other channels to fund the increase, in particular television, search and display.
Even so, for the majority of buyers the cut to television budgets was less than 10%. Only one in seven said they’d cut more than 15% of their TV budget to fund digital video.
The report highlights two significant trends for the region.
First, the preponderance of over-the-top video (OTT) and connected TV as an advertising medium.
It accounts for 25% of the advertising budget of those surveyed, compared to just 16% in the US and only 5% in Australia.
Alex Khan, Managing Director AOL Asia, said the industry had a healthy attitude to programmatic. “In some parts of the world the early days of programmatic was seen as little more than a platform for real-time bidding. The respondents in Southeast Asia recognise the technology is capable of so much more, with a large proportion saying its key capability is for data-led audience buying and selling. It demonstrates the understanding this region has of the opportunity programmatic provides. That should make the next few years very positive for publishers with video inventory”.
The research was conducted in partnership with Hall & Partners, with fieldwork and data collection from Southeast Asian brands, agencies and publishers across Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia.
The interviews were conducted online in Q4 2015 and represent responses from industry stakeholders who are involved in the buying and selling of digital video advertising (mobile, desktop or OTT/Connected TV).
