“With so much competition for consumer attention, we see brands moving towards personalised messaging and addressable video advertising that is relevant for specific viewers across multiple screens in brand-safe environments.

“Drawing on SpotX’s global resources, strategic partnerships and local service focus, I’m confident that we will make good inroads into the programmatic video and TV space this year.”
