Publishers Address Ad Blocking At Pub Talk Live In NYC
The age of interruption is over. Ad blocking continues to be the most talked about topic in the ad industry this year, with ad blocking use reaching record levels.
In fact, according to a new eMarketer report, ad blocking has grown 35% quarter-over-quarter globally. The US has one of the lowest ad blocking adoption rates at 9%. But that doesn’t mean that publishers can sit back and relax. So what are the options available to publishers to take back control of their ad revenues?
We gathered with top publishers to answer these questions and more for the first of our Pub Talk Live event series. Moderated by Unruly co-CEO Sarah Wood, we were joined by Rory O’Connor, from Marketwatch, David Burrick, from AOL, and Bichoi Bastha, from Dailymotion.
If you weren’t able to join us in New York, we’ve pulled out some of the highlights for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy!
