But, how are marketing execs allocating all that money?
64% plan to include smartphones in their spend, while more than 50% said they are likely to include tablets, according to new research from BrightRoll. 30% said they are likely to include connected TV.
While BrightRoll's 2011 survey revealed that video had become a staple of online ad buys, this year’s survey shows that advertisers are embracing the viability of a new digital video viewerscape across four unique screens: computers, smartphones, tablets and connected TVs.
The findings, according to BrightRoll, also indicated that budget allocations may be based on the “maturity curve” -- or how long video has been available on each screen, instead of analyzing what medium is most effective in achieving campaign goals.
Overall, the report indicated that 30% of respondents expect online video to have the largest increase in media spending this year.
On the growth front, 70% of respondents said that clearer ROI and better success metrics are still needed to increase digital video ad spending.
Showing just how far the medium has come, however, 64% of advertisers said that online video is an equally or more effective medium than TV. Respondents overwhelmingly selected targeting -- 43% -- as what their clients deem the most valuable aspect of online video, followed by reach: 28%.
More than half of respondents said they are more inclined to buy online video inventory from a network or exchange than anywhere else -- that's a 20% increase from last year’s survey. Behavioral targeting remains valuable to advertisers with 64% of respondents indicating their online video ads will be behaviorally targeted in 2012 -- a 14% increase from 2011.
Only 5% of respondents said GRP is the most important success metric, while 18% said they are most interested in seeing additional research on GRP measurement for online video buying.-Gavin O'Malley, MediaPost
