With the new report “Mind the Gap” Ebiquity plc has refined 2019 UK figures about TV consumption and advertising effectiveness on video platforms.
The new data suggests there will be a slight increase in the number of people aged over 55 that linear TV advertising will impact in 2022 (vs. what was declared in 2018). But in younger demographics that impact has started a more dramatical decline than Ebiquity initially projected, in favour of platforms like YouTube and SVOD (Subscription Video on Demand, eg. Netflix and Amazon).
