“At this year’s Advertising and Measurement Trends Symposium, these industry leaders will share their perspectives on issues ranging from: measurement of cross-platform viewership to the impact of programmatic advertising and the role of the ad agency in today’s marketplace,” said Tom Eagan, Managing Director, Media Analyst at TAG. “In the next 12 months, we expect key changes in measurement, such as how Mobile viewing will be added to Traditional TV viewing. Should a new viewership currency be adopted by the industry, the Media landscape as well as Internet companies will be impacted for years to come.”

The symposium will feature CFOs and other senior-level executives from leading advertising, ad-tech, and measurement companies. A significant number of institutional investors are confirmed to attend the conference.

TAG’s first Advertising and Measurement Trends Symposium seeks to provide insight into many critical Media issues through meetings, panel discussions and presentations. Topics will include: secular shifts in ad budget allocation given dramatic viewership changes; the ability to aggregate multi-platform viewership to a singular metric; and how technology and ‘big data’ are changing the ad agency/client relationship.
