Streaming TV’s New Era: How Ads Are Powering Streaming’s Future in the EU5 

Alexandra Ong, Business Development Director at Magnite too us on an in-depth look at how advertising is driving the future of streaming in the EU5. As EU5 viewers prefer ad-supported streaming to traditional television, brands can engage with addressable audiences with ever-increasing reach and scale. The cross-device viewing habits of the EU5 audience influence purchasing decisions and advertising impact. This presents advertisers with an excellent opportunity to increase their brands' visibility and create stronger connections with consumers. Magnite presented its latest study, Streaming TV's New Era, which looks at the viewer behaviour driving this change.

Attention Pays: The Value of Attention in Digital Advertising

The attention economy is critical for brands looking to really understand how their campaigns engage an audience at a granular level. It’s the currency of the moment, and on the tip of everyone's tongue when it comes to priorities for 2023. But why are we so invested in attention today? How does it work, how is it measured and what is its real value?

In this panel discussion industry experts came together to answer these questions and more. They looked at why attention is so important to digital advertising in Europe today and shared best practices to make the most out of this much-talked-about currency.

Andy Brown, CEO at The Attention Council moderated this session and was joined by:

  • David Cohen, CEO, IAB US
  • Michael Isaacs-Olaye, Business Development EMEA, Integral Ad Science (IAS)

Trust & Transparency: The Future of Responsible Marketing

In this keynote presentation Michael Todd, Global Director of Industry Relations at Google discussed how consumers are losing trust in the digital marketing ecosystem and that we need to come together to put responsible marketing and privacy at its core to make digital advertising safer for consumers, successful for publishers, and more impactful for businesses.

Leading the Digital Advertising Industry into a New Era of Trust & Responsibility

Digital advertising is an integral part of the European economy. Our industry is at the forefront of technology innovation and creativity, building digital products, ensuring media pluralism and enabling consumer choice. 

But the industry has fallen short of creating a trusted and credible environment towards policy makers and civil society on how it operates. IAB Europe’s Industry Leadership Council (ILC) was conceived in response to this realisation. It brings together actors across the advertising ecosystem to build a bridge to policy makers for an open and constructive dialogue. 

Our closing panel of the day discussed what is currently being done in the ILC and what else is required to ensure a sustainable future for the industry. 

Townsend Feehan, CEO at IAB Europe moderated this session and was joined by:

  • Michael Todd, Global Director of Industry Relations, Google
  • Rhys Nolke, Chief Data Officer, Group Lead Tech & Data at Bertelsmann
  • Bethan Crockett, Legal Counsel, GroupM
  • Daniel Knapp, Chief Economist, IAB Europe
