Modern Local Media Measurement: Reimagining the Opportunity

Technology advancements and data are transforming every industry and enabling more interconnectedness and multilateral working arrangements to benefit the entire ecosystem.

This panel will explore the opportunity that local media is stronger than the sum of its parts and how finding common ground through inclusiveness will propel a redesign of local media measurement framework.

KEYNOTE: Creating Innovation, Standards and Trust to Nurture Innovation and Growth in Digital Advertising

Two leading industry executives share the visions and initiatives their trade associations are pursuing to take digital ad platforms to the next level. IAB Labs’ Alanna Gombert believes, “The technical and operational foundation of digital marketing is at a crossroads – balancing the demands of brand advertisers, media agencies, publishers, and consumers.” The IAB Tech Lab and IAB have the opportunity and responsibility to move the industry toward global solutions that meet the needs of those constituencies. In 2015, U.S. Internet ad revenues toppled previous figures, reaching nearly $60 billion. Gombert argues that if we can coalesce around meaningful technical standards worldwide, we can anticipate even more dollars flowing to the medium in the years to come.

NAI’s Leigh Freund will tackle how NAI and others are responding to the latest shifts in policy and technology. She’ll examine areas where updated guidance is needed to account for new tech—from cross device, smart TVs and IoT, to the industry’s response to ad blocking and more. Leigh brings more than a decade of substantive expertise in privacy, advertising, and public policy in the digital sector to her work at NAI. She has first-hand knowledge of the tremendous contributions third parties have made in the digital advertising space and she is a passionate believer in strong self-regulation.

How is location playing a role in this mobile market growth? What’s working and not working in this opportune but still very challenged market? Mobile is clearly shaping the future of local.

Local Investment Is Trending Up…Way Up—Will It Pay Off?

Investors and operating companies are betting big on local – across martech, media, local and location data. And they’re building out scope and scale in M&A transactions. BIA/Kelsey forecasts national advertisers will allocate $14 billion in incremental paid media spend targeting local audiences out to 2020. This is fueled by the rise of programmatic, mobile, social and video ad platforms targeting location-based audiences and innovation and impeding consolidation and exits in martech, data science and local audience targeting exchanges. There is a massive increase in investment in local by these national advertisers. What’s going on and is this allocation of capital going to pay off?

2015 Highlights
Best of BIA/Kelsey NEXT, Dec. 2015

“As a first time attendee I was a bit curious to see how the conference would play out after hearing ‘nice reviews’ through the grapevine over the years. My feedback is simple: If you’re serious about growing your media business, the BIA/Kelsey conference is a must-attend event, period. I had the pleasure of meeting countless industry veterans, rising-star-entrepreneurs, and potential vendors that could add value to our existing business. The executive-level presentations and networking force a certain level of deep-thought to evaluate and maneuver through the digital world we live in, translating to a great investment of both time and money.”

“BIA/Kelsey conferences have continued to get better and better and with each one, more and more essential for those in the local interactive space. Boston was the best yet. In an industry where next week’s news is already too old, BIA/Kelsey conferences allow a great perspective into the future of local online as well as the current landscape.”

“I attend at least 2 or 3 of your events a year and without fail. From some new marketing takeaways to larger strategic understanding of our industry, I definitely get excellent value from my attendance. Every conference, every year, I walk out with ‘best ever’ on my lips. I attend many conferences across the local search and advertising industry and BIA/Kelsey conferences are far and away the best.”

“Local advertising and commerce remains the largest untapped big-pocket opportunity for Internet companies. … At the conference, we came across search engines, social media companies, review websites, daily offer platforms, web services companies, vertical/niche websites, content syndication platforms, and traditional media companies – all focused on tapping into local media dollars.”

“You seemed to have hit the rare trifecta of high quality attendees, informative sessions and great organization. Looking forward to the next one.”

“The show really was a great few days. Not only were the sessions super compelling, but we made some great connections as well.”
