WBD White Paper Calls for Measuring TV Ad Basics
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) published a white paper titled 'The Unified Reach Paradox' during Advertising Week New York, advocating for standardized TV ad measurement fundamentals. The paper presents findings from WBD's investigation of five major measurement providers—VideoAmp, iSpot, Comscore, Innovid, and Samba—across more than 50 campaigns on linear and streaming. WBD found significant variance in universal audience estimates, impression counting, and cross-platform coverage. For example, Comscore counted 43.5M impressions for a campaign while iSpot counted 24.6M. A survey of 154 agency and marketer decision-makers revealed that 73% consider unified reach a critical missing metric, and 79% cannot fully trust outcomes without it. WBD calls for industry standards on impression and viewability counting, and transparency in projection methodologies, urging a 'nutrition label' approach.
Future's Jamie Samuel on AI Disruption, Attribution, and Agentic Buying
In an interview with Mark Challinor, Future's VP of Commercial Product and Go-to-Market, Jamie Samuel, discusses the challenges and opportunities publishers face as AI reshapes discovery, attribution, and media buying. Future prioritizes human-written content and leverages its editorial authority through products like Future Optic, which helps brands improve visibility in AI search. The company also invests in Aperture, a first-party data platform for predictive audience modeling, to move beyond last-click attribution. Samuel predicts that agentic media buying will transform negotiations, and that publishers must adapt by focusing on outcomes, brand differentiation, and consolidation. He emphasizes the need for publishers to disrupt themselves before AI does.
