MIAMI – If you could change just one thing tomorrow that could speed up the advanced-television business, what would that be?

LONDON — TV ads targeted through addressable linear platforms made up just 0.1% of total us TV ad spend in 2014, according to eMarketer. But the prospect is now at a “tipping point” that will push it faster and higher, with no turning back, says one exec in the space. Invidi EVP Michael Kubin tells Beet.TV, in this […]

LONDON — Invidi should know a thing or two about the new science of addressable advertising.
