12. Sponsored / Branded Content
CPM rates are diving
– Due to shift to mobile + RTB/DSPs
Sponsored content is the fastest growing and most lucrative “ad unit” for publishers
– Flipboard, Buzzfeed, Mashable, Business Insider others all over it; major publishers starting to
take notice
The challenge for brands
– Sponsored content across media properties looks somewhat
similar to traditional content/advertising model
– Branded content across social media does not
– Enormous value in “real time” and capturing the moment
– See: Oreo at the Super Bowl
– Younger demographic (<25) thrives on “real time”
• Spends more time on Instagram, FB, Twitter, Pinterest
• And less time on News, TV, etc.

13. Sponsored Content – Incredibly Effective When Done Right

As a result, highly viral and shared

26. Mobile Content is Gaining Ad Revenue Share
“Non-traditional” advertising platforms are
gaining share, especially on mobile
– Facebook
– Pandora
– Twitter
We believe Google will retain a dominant
position in mobile due to search, click to call
and maps
– And mobile’s share of Google’s ad
revenue is forecast to dramatically
increase
Traditional publishers likely to lose
significant share to new entrants
– FB, Pandora, Twitter
– New players like Yelp, Trulia, Houzz,
Flipboard
Mobile will not reflect a simple “transition” of
traditional display market to mobile
26
27. Behavior on Mobile is Vastly Different From Desktop
Note that “Reading News” or “Work Applications” don’t show more than 5% of user
timeshare (“News” is likely encompassed in “Browser” in chart below)
27
28. Social Media Ad Revenue is Increasingly Mobile-Centric
Mobile ad revenues for Facebook and Twitter will comprise over 50% of total ad
revenues in 2014, up from 0% in 2011
28
29. Mobile Monetization – Not Your Father’s IAB Standard Ad Unit
Ad Units / Monetization
The best mobile advertising experiences are appearing as “native,” and blended into
the user experience in a way that the user perceives value in the ad unit (versus an
annoying unit he/she must click through to get to content)
