- Video Ad Workflow Research with Advertiser Perceptions — The creative asset workflow lags years behind innovation in media buying. While the industry has developed technology for targeting and data analysis, there hasn’t been the same focus on improving sourcing and preparing creative assets for cross-screen/cross-device campaigns. This results in inefficient/error-prone processes, slower time to market and lower-quality viewing experience.
