TV has a trusted source for
measurement. There’s a
reason why clients spend so
much on TV and it gets a
return – as a TV buyer you
know what you’re getting if
you buy a particular show.
We don’t have the currencies
and metrics to know this

There is so much clutter on
screens now, and so much ad-
blocking as a result: the
consumer is asking for a
seamless, positive, useful
experience, and brands just
aren’t getting the message.
That’s why we are pushing a
move to quality, and we are
investing more with quality

I see it as a huge opportunity on the
publisher side not to just sell me
quality inventory but to sell me
quality people. Publishers can
provide me with data that’s
refreshed daily that I can’t get
anywhere else

We shouldn’t have to care on
our side how the buy-side
wants to buy. We negotiate
price and volume, and then
whether it comes through
automated sales straight into
the ad server, or through the
SSP, or through PMP – they
should co-exist. There are
big benefits for broadcasters
in programmatic, if you have
the control and flexibility to
maintain premium value

The fact is that finding people
who are able to understand all
the supply-side programmatic
technology and make it live is
not easy. There are lots of
middlemen offering to solve the
problems, but it’s hard to know
who to trust and also to get the
right people in-house

Agencies are now realising
that you can’t do it on your
own. You need an involved
client, an involved and
bought-in creative team, tight
working relationships with
publishers. And you need a
much more transparent and
open process in terms of
planning and execution as
well as buying
