Today on RBDR: 1) Nielsen had a more than solid 2014 financially. 2) CBS says advertisers are adopting 7-day viewing, versus present 3-day standard. 3) Teradata study says 90% of marketers are moving away from segmentation and jumping into 1-to-1 marketing, but not having much success with that. 4) Visible Measures’ “guarantee” that brand video will be viewed sounds good, but the reality of the guarantee is less impressive.
