In cross-platform video measurement, should all impressions be treated equally?

Consumers are exposed to an estimated 5,000 ad messages a day.

Within this flurry of messages, it’s simply unrealistic to think that all ad exposures deliver the same consumer impact.

Many factors influence the impact of a video ad impression.

One of the most exciting innovations in advertising is the promise of true cross-platform video measurement – the ability to get aggregated impressions delivery across all screens, platforms and devices. But an inherent question in “tallying up” total video campaign impressions is this: Should all impressions be treated equally or should some be valued more highly based on their ability to deliver outsized impact?
