In an interview, Dariusch Hosseini, Managing Director of Exponential Interactive Deutschland GmbH (a subsidiary of Exponential Interactive Inc.), discusses multi-screen advertising strategies. He outlines the steps of a typical multi-screen campaign, emphasizing how integrating linear TV, Instream Ads, mobile pre-rolls, and other channels can engage younger audiences who split time across devices. He notes that campaigns can start with broad reach for quick messaging and later refine through channel-specific creative, with limited calls-to-action to avoid clutter. The interview covers practical creative guidance (short TV spots, 15–30 seconds, few CTAs), the importance of cross-channel planning, and the need to define KPIs and reporting early. The piece also highlights US market dynamics where second-screen usage is more established and gives examples such as an IBC Solar campaign and ad-creatives remixing across devices. The discussion ends with considerations for publishers adapting to multi-screen strategies.
