GroupM releases State of Video report
The report is authored by chief digital officer, Rob Norman, futures director, Adam Smith and a host of contributors from across the globe.
The State of Video covers consumption trends across generations, emerging business issues and evolving TV industry economics; data application and addressability in linear and over-the-top TV platforms; live sports and appointment viewing trends; video competition between legacy players and new digital entrants; highlights of the dominant online video market in China; and global measurement issues that must be addressed to understand audiences in cross-screen environments.
To whet your appetite, here’s an extract from GroupM’s introduction to the report:

The video experience has changed in almost every way and for many is no longer constrained by schedules, location, devices or a narrow choice of content. We live in a world of abundance which democratises creation, atomises audiences and fragments attention.
