On Wednesday, May 11, 2016, over 120 senior marketers, agency executives, research professionals, and reporters attended the 4th annual IAB NewFronts Insights Lunch held at the IAB Ad Lab. For this special invite-only event, IAB curated research from four industry leaders that took a deep dive into the behavior of digital video consumers and how video ads move them.
Presenting sponsors Millward Brown, Sharethrough, Unruly, and YuMe unveiled critical new research and shared insights on topics ranging from video ad creative elements and how Millennials respond to them, to the impact of mobile video, native advertising, and optimal ad lengths on brand effectiveness.
As the NewFronts entered its second week, the research presented at the IAB NewFronts Insights Lunch proved that advertising on video content channels works. Attendees walked away with actionable ideas on how to make advertising across digital and mobile video properties break through and reach even the most distracted and the most ad block-prone viewers.
Congratulations to Swan Sit, Vice President, Global Digital from Elizabeth Arden, who won the raffle for a $100 AmEx Gift Card.

YuMe: Exploring New Video Ad Lengths
Paul Neto, Senior Director of Research, YuMe
Shifts in the way people consume video content are changing how marketers strategize about video advertising. Increased consumption of snack-sized content, for example, has made shorter video ad formats more popular. To help address these questions, YuMe and IPG Media Lab, partnered to evaluate the effectiveness of different video ad lengths, looking at micro and longer form ad formats, devices and consumer perspective.
