SEVILLE — The time for playing around with small change is over – it’s time to put your hand in your pocket and put real money on the table.

That’s what one ad-tech exec says about the manner in which ad buyers have thus far approached the two biggest emerging media channels – mobile and video.

“Marketers have thought about video and mobile as experimental,” Quantcast operations VP Adrian D’Souza tells Beet.TV in this video interview. “In the next two to three years, I see it all coming together:

  • “Roughly, desktop will represent 50% of spend. Half of that will be for display, half of that will be video.”
  • “Mobile will represent the other 50% – half of that in display, half in video.”

“For marketeers and media sellers alike, it’s really important to get these experimental budgets out in to the mainstream and focus on a comprehensive product mix that services all the needs.”

Quantcast is the digital measurement company that helps advertisers find audiences. Last year, it launched “search-powered audiences”, allowing brands to anticipate consumer intent, and its “audience grid” technology, making available consumer usage, purchasing and car ownership data for targeting purposes.
