IAB Netherlands report - Online ad spend report 2016

IAB report on Online Advertising Spend
The Netherlands 2016
April 2017

Introduction
Since 2010, IAB Netherlands and Deloitte have
been reporting on the online advertising spend
in the Netherlands by periodically publishing
the Online Ad Spend Study. The content of this
full year study is driven by data and information
gathered directly from the online community,
including publishers, advertisers and media
planners.
In this edition market analysis is based on
data supplied by 35 companies, including
publishers, media agencies, ad networks
and programmatic platforms. Due to a great
number of participating key industry players
from different areas we are able to gain
extensive insight into the online advertising
market.
Nathalie Peters
IAB Netherlands | Chairman
The moment is almost there that digital and
traditional advertising are about 50/50. People
are spending more and more time online
and it’s good to see advertisers recognize the
importance of investing more in the medium.
The digital spends for 2017 are promising.

For the first time this year we are reporting
on the native advertising spend as a separate
category. And not a moment too soon, because
even without counting the supporting display
ads, native is already a €50M+ category,
growing 31% year over year, proving that digital
advertising is still evolving in its growth.
Jeroen Verkroost
IAB Netherlands | MD
It is exciting to see that 2016 delivered double
digit digital growth. It is safe to say that digital
advertising has come of age, yet the 11%
growth rate for 2016 is an increase in pace even
over 2015's impressive 8% rate. To put this in
an international perspective; while in some
countries TV spend still is higher than Digital
spend, in the Netherlands, Digital advertising is
on track to become larger as a single category
than all other media types combined. This
can happen as soon as next year, on the 20th
birthday of the Dutch IAB. Larger local players
were caught in a squeeze in 2016, relatively
profiting less from the accelerating digital
growth. The clear winners are the smaller, more
specialized players on the one end, and the
large international corporations on the other
end of the spectrum.
Nathalie La Verge
Deloitte | Technology, Media & Telecom
Following the continued increase in digital
media consumption in the Netherlands, we
again saw new formats and medium types
entering the digital marketing ecosystem in
2016.
The importance of data and technology in
marketing and the need for transparency in
digital advertising, combined with new privacy
regulation coming up, will have their impact
on how (digital) advertising budgets will be
allocated in the future.

Note: Real GDP based on constant prices (reference 2010)
Source: Deloitte Analysis, CBS, CPB
The upward economic trend in the Netherlands has extended to 2016, demonstrating a slightly
increased growth of 2.1%. Expectations for next year remain at the same level.
In line with last year’s expectations, growth of revenues for the advertising market has followed suit.
The positive growth is very clear: the advertising market outpaces the Dutch GDP development with
+4.0% growth.
Along with a rise in projected GDP, consumer confidence and willingness to buy continue to improve
in 2017, factors which neatly tie in with advertising spend. This means that total advertising spend is
expected to grow.

Growth of digital within other medium types
The shift towards digital advertising opens up new markets
Source: RAB, Nielsen, Screenforce, Annual reports, NDP Nieuwsmedia, Deloitte analysis
‘’The online radio market is growing rapidly. Last year’s number of advertisers and
ad spend has doubled.
One of the most important reasons is the more than 35 effect studies we’ve done
in conjunction with MeMo2. They showed significant improvement on reach, call to
action and brand KPI’s. As the targeting options increase, and more radio is being
bought through programmatic channels in 2017, I foresee a market which can
double again this year.’’
Arthur Hoogendijk
The Media Exchange | CEO
“In 2016, Digital Out of Home really took off, due to the growth in the number of
screens. The expectation is that DooH will get the highest ROI on A-locations due
to best positions, reach and viewability. My expectation is that the market will
grow further this year due to an increase of 2m2 DOOH screens on the street while
I hardly see existing 2m2 OOH revenue being cannibalized. Digital OOH is often
on top of, or added in combination with other digital campaigns, e.g. next to a
Facebook or banner campaign.”

Online
The online market paints a very clear picture: people spend more time online and advertisers
recognize the importance of investing more in digital marketing. Growth on both time spent and
spending from advertisers is expected to continue the following years.
TV
Over the last 6 years TV has shown to be a constant and important factor for consumers and
advertisers. TV advertising revenue increased slightly this year and time spent decreased slightly,
overall the position TV has as a medium remains stable.
Radio
Radio advertising revenues remained fairly stable over the previous years, also the time spent
listening to radio is showing only a minor change compared to last year. Expectations for the coming
years are in line with the current trend, the decline is expected to continue in the near future.

Search advertising achieved the highest growth of the total advertising market, expanding its already
large share to 45% (+1%). Growth in Search is driven by shopping and higher CTRs, mainly on mobile.
Growth for classifieds remained stable, meaning a decline in market share to 14% (-1%). Display is
catching up, in part due to good performance of social platforms, resulting in a 41% market share.
Online video has performed very well with substantial growth throughout 2016, accounting for
121 m€ of the display advertising revenue. Within the 18% market share of video, in-stream has a 17%
market share, while out-stream has a share of 1%. In-stream advertising is a commercial that appears
before, during or after the media content (Pre-roll, Mid-roll, Post-roll). Out-stream is a video ad format
that is not integrated into the media content (In article, in-page, in-read, interstitial).
In addition, native and interruptive display formats show strong growth figures, contributing to the
rise in display advertising.
Banner formats remain fairly stable, with a display share of 42% for IAB formatted and 10% non-IAB
formatted.

Similar to last year, globally operating companies – including global search and social media
platforms – demonstrated the highest growth rate in advertising revenue, staying ahead of local
competitors with +17% in 2016.
Top tier local companies have performed better, showing a growth rate of +5% this year compared
to +4% in 2015.
Enterprises with revenues between 2,5 m€ and 10 m€ have made a big leap in growth, averaging
+16% this year compared to 7% in last year’s figures. The gains can be partly explained by the rise in
video and mobile revenues for this segment.
Smaller companies with earnings below 2,5 m€ dipped to a growth rate of +6%, a downward trend
compared to the +10% last year.

2016 was a good year for display advertising: all formats ended the year with positive growth

Interruptive had a strong transition towards the programmatic exchange last year, leading to a
growth transformation from -8% in 2015 to +16% in 2016. Interruptive formats account for 14% of
the revenues in the display market.
Banners remain the dominant format within display, taking up 52% of the market. The Other
category has grown by +10% due to the inclusion of the native format, which itself grew by +31%.
“Last year several publishers renewed their focus on the direct and guaranteed
selling of high impact formats. High impact formats still prove to be ideally suited
for reaching specific branding objectives requested by advertisers. On top of the
renewed focus on direct sales, more rich media inventory has been made available
on the programmatic exchanges. Programmatic rich media has become an
essential part of each programmatic campaign. This year the High impact formats
will become more mature and we expect more improvements as well through the
introduction of new cross-device and video formats.”

One of the trending topics in online advertising for several years is the spend on social and the
spend on online video. Advertisers spent more and more on online video, which results in an
online video growth of +25%.
Advertising on social networks is growing fast and is included in almost every media strategy.
Because of the enormous amount of data insights and related targeting capabilities, advertisers
are keen on using social networks to reach their target audience.
“We see video programmatic advertising exploding as a result of the change in
media consumption. The shift towards automation and data driven advertising is
also here a reality. The great thing is that we for the first time also see the traditional
broadcasters catching up rapidly. A focus on quality, creativity and transparency
remain important so we will continue to invest in those areas”
Angela Pellaupessy
Improve Digital | Country Manager Benelux
“Demand for video inventory is growing as well as the supply in inventory in total.
There is, however, a shortage in good quality inventory, while viewingtimes are
under pressure. It terms of effectiveness it no longer works to copy a non-targeted
30’’TVC as a forced preroll. The video market will continue to grow further, however,
the demand for accountability will emphasize the importance of programmatic and
transparent use of data and technology in order to come to better relevant and
targeted video advertising.”

"The market for branded content is growing rapidly. News publishers clearly profit
from this growth. Brands dare to invest more, and more broadly. Not just ‘Touch’
and ‘Sell’, but also ‘Tell’ about what makes them stand out from the rest.”
Lauren Van Der Heijden
De Persgroep Nederland | Directeur Corporate Sales
"We recognize the trend and see that this form of advertising is getting more mature
in terms of budget. But we are still lagging behind the global market.
We must remain critical of the output and use of native advertising. The quality
of the content is often seen as lower priority than the focus on conversion. In
practice, this means we are seeing more branded content than truly powerful native
advertising cases."

Note: Figure based on survey respondents only; Mobile advertising is the spending category by advertisers on mobile website or

“Mobile is the future of digital advertising. The growth of mobile advertising spend
up to 40% market share is great, but mobile should be even more dominant. Most
time by consumers is spent in apps. Yet every year the share of in app advertising
has declined. This is due to the difficulty of in app advertising. Desktop technology
such as cookie based buying platforms, cookie based measurement systems,
JavaScript quality checks and panels without a mobile presence do not cut it in the
mobile space. For mobile to reach its full potential, the in app opportunity needs
to be taken more seriously in terms of measurement, creativity, targeting and
research.”

Programmatic is gaining market share in The Netherlands, the trading revenue grew with +20%
in 2016.
“In 2016, brands and publishers increasingly leveraged their own data to reach
consumers with relevant and engaging advertising. Collaborations between
independent technology, media and advertising companies create a virtuous cycle
in which marketers can interact with their audiences with deeper insights, publishers
make more money, and consumers enjoy an improved experience. As the digital
advertising industry continues to grow, programmatic platforms must focus on
providing marketplaces that drive liquidity, efficiency, transparency, and quality and
products that are open and collaborative, rich in machine learning, and privacy-
oriented.”
Sabrina Schmidt
AppNexus | Market Director, Supply Evangelism Team
“Programmatic advertising allows advertisers to better target specific audiences,
controlling the ad frequency and sequenced communication by using data and
setting the correct ruling.
Since data and technology are the main drivers in online advertising, it’s crucial to
organize the ownership and creating transparency in the buying process.
For some purposes ( e.g. mass reach for awareness) direct buys are still more
efficient when techfees on both demand & sell side adds significant cost in the total
advertising spend.”

Programmatic advertising growth per month
The constant growth rates might signal maturity in the Programmatic market
The growth trend in the Dutch programmatic
market in 2016 shows similarities to last year’s
trend, with a peak in May/June and declining
towards August. The last quarter of this year
however, the growth picked up, ending the year
strongly with a revenue of 29.7 m€ in December
2016.

Programmatic exchange versus direct trading
33% of display revenue is traded through programmatic channels in 2016
Global publishers trade mainly via their own technology platforms. This results in a relatively small
share of revenue traded via programmatic exchanges within the total market.
In contrast to the Global publishers, the Local publishers (especially the mid sized publishers) show
a strong increase of revenue traded through programmatic exchanges.
“We can no longer just simply speak in terms of programmatic or manual
(often referred to as 'Direct Sold'). Companies like Google and Facebook take
an ever increasing share of the advertising market, through their proprietary
automated advertising tools and platforms. They offer relatively easy access to
inventory, combined with large reach and have a wide range of options to reach the
right consumers”

Affiliate marketing
Performance based affiliate marketing continues to realize growth in 2016
Source: Survey respondents, Annual Reports, Deloitte analysis
“Before affiliate marketing matured it remained a niche market, limiting
opportunities for advertisers to reach potential audiences. However as the 7%
growth in 2016 shows, the channel continues to flourish. With individual publisher
‘types’, e.g. influencers, impacting the landscape differently, affiliate marketing has
become increasingly multi-faceted, offering advertisers new opportunities to reach
consumers. More than ever what is becoming apparent is the digital cross-border
potential of e-commerce without a local presence, with affiliate programmes
offering the prospect to tap into consumers across the globe.”

Outlook

Outlook 2017
Respondents indicate a positive outlook and set high targets for 2017
“In 2017, local publishers need to worry less about declining desktop traffic and Ad
block adoption. On the other hand worry more on GDPR, Privacy and Copyright
laws. Furthermore, apps and platforms of global publishers keep on eating time
spend and budgets.
2017 will be the year to improve new products that haven’t come to fruition yet.
Data and Apps are hardly profitable, while header bidding, ‘Programmatic Native’
and AdBlock Ad Inventory are still in exploration.
Positive outlook will be phone advertising with rising CPMs and always-on mobile
(EU) internet, boosted by (pre-roll) video consumption. Never a dull moment in
media!”
