For many years, the television was the only medium for publishers and advertisers to effectively reach audiences on a national scale. This was great—especially for advertisers. It was an easy way for them to reach 90% of their audience with one ad. But the world has changed. Now, video is everywhere—PCs, laptops, mobile devices, publisher websites and syndicated websites, to name a few. And consumers are in control. They decide how, when and where to watch video.
Whether you are an advertiser trying to figure out how to reach your audience with video or a publisher, looking to make money from your video content, we hope that you will find YuMe's insights helpful in understanding the video advertising ecosystem.
Get a rare glimpse of how viewers of TV and online video respond to advertising in their natural habitat. We conducted a study with the IPG Media Lab to uncover how people watch TV and online video and how attentive they are to the ads. Using facial tracking algorithms and biometric monitoring, a second-by-second monitoring of cognition, excitement, and stress found that despite constant distractions in both mediums, online video commands higher attention and recall from viewers.

Online video is experiencing unprecedented growth. According to the IAB, it took 38 years for radio to reach 50 MM users, 13 years for TV, 10 years for cable, less than 5 years for the Internet, and less than 2 years for Internet video. Consumers of all walks of life utilize more online video now than ever before. What are the latest trends and audience behaviors of online video and TV viewers? We recently completed a research study with Frank N. Magid Associates and have produced a white paper highlighting key findings around online video adoption, usersβ content preferences, and consumption comparisons with TV. In particular, this report demonstrates that while marketers can reach the majority of their audience through TV, there is a small-but-growing, complementary audience that is more accessible through online video.
