Crossing the chasm and doing it profitably

Advertisers want: Reach customers where they are, not just through TV Avoid expensive Olympic TV ads Control ad timing, location, context, format, pricing model Coordinated campaigns across media and measurable results

Agencies want: To become one stop shops for online services Offer search while still making a cut

Publishers want: Monetize unsold inventory Raise pricing Avoid cannibalizing CPD sales Protect users from bad advertising
