“Digital place-based revenue growth continues to grow at a rapid pace, a trend that we expect to continue into the foreseeable future,” says Barry Frey, president and CEO, DPAA. “We are gaining prominence as a tool to help marketers overcome a challenging advertising landscape by demonstrating that we are a quantifiably effective way to engage and influence brand and purchase behavior while consumers are on their daily journeys. Video is everywhere, and with impressions shifting in all directions, it is increasingly difficult for planners and buyers to capture eyeballs through traditional television. Increasing numbers of brands and their agencies are recognizing this reality and incorporating digital place-based into media plans.”
