Evolution of the Ad Tech Market
Advertisers Still Allocate ¾ of Advertising Dollars to TV, Radio and Print
Source: eMarketer, IDC, Morgan Stanley Research (June 2012)
Continued growth of digital advertising:
Forecast to account for 45% of the US advertising budget in 2020
This growth continues to be driven by:
- On-going development of new formats and platforms (namely
mobile and video) for online display advertising
- Shift from PC to smartphone and rise of multi-device audience
- Increasing global penetration of high speed broadband –
increasing the need for more interactive communication and
reducing the cost of delivering rich media content
- Continued dominance of social networks capturing more
consumer time spent than any other online vertical
Impact on Adtech:
Increased corporate budgets - budgets for marketing technology are
growing annually at 11%, c.2.5x faster than internal IT budgets, which
are growing at 4.7% (Source: Chuck Schaeffer, CRM Search)
Increasing campaign complexity - brands have recognised the
requirement for technology in order to successfully facilitate multi-
device, multi-channel and multi-territory ad campaigns
Increased awareness of importance of ‘big data’ – consolidating and
analysing data captured across spectrum of digital channels gaining
a full picture of the ‘digital shopper’
- the need to understand the efficacy of digital versus traditional
advertising strategy
Increased interest of both brands and consumers to receive
personalised targeting/ recommendations based on browsing history
to improve shopping experience
‘For every dollar spent on online advertising, as
much as 80 cents is estimated to be spent on digital
technology versus the actual ad space’
Emily Steel, Financial Times
‘CMOs will control more IT spend than CIOs by
2017’
Laura McLellan, Gartner

Strength Of The Global M&A Ad Tech Market

ls)
Sources: Press releases, CapitalIQ, Corpfin, and Results’ Analysis
Adtech consolidation continues at pace – however there is substantial VC funding going into the sector and the number of new start-ups is outpacing the
number of acquisitions (Source: Luma Partners)
Key M&A drivers:
- Established players have been acquiring new capabilities/ technologies to extend their existing product suites
- Large internet conglomerates and technology companies continue to compete to remain ‘on top’ of new tech innovations and are
competitively scouring the market for the best start-ups and talent
- Yahoo, in particular, has been a prolific acquirer in 2013 making over 20 acquisitions to date
The IPO market has recently opened for adtech including YuMe, Tremor Video and Marin Software, however these parties have yet to use their currency
to pursue acquisitions

Ecommerce Technology
Devices used for eCommerce Gartner calculates the eCommerce tech market to be worth in excess of
$3bn
- Matched with consulting and other services delivered alongside, the
entire market could be worth 10x this amount
And as the market has grown, eCommerce tech has become a key
strategic focus for enterprise software, consultancies, and marcoms
groups alike, although there has been a notable shift in the focus of M&A
activity:
- Earlier eCommerce tech deals were focused on management of
websites, store fronts, payments and shopping carts
- Recent deals are more about managing and optimising the full
spectrum of customer engagement across web, mobile, social,
contact centre and other touch points
Focus of recent deal activity:
Tag management and the ability to gather real time behavioural
data on consumers
- RichRelevance recently acquired Avail Intelligence Software
and [x+1] acquired Ubertags, in order to track the consumer
journey and optimise retailers eCommerce sites
Taking captured data relating to each user and using it to
personalise an online store to their individual preferences:
- Yahoo has been acquisitive in this area buying
recommendations software provider Jybe
Establishing a view of a universal user has become paramount as brands
base online marketing and often trading decisions on an understanding
of an entire customer journey, from in-store browsing, price comparison,
review, mobile searching and eventual sale; the growth of omnichannel
retail marketing

Marketing automation market forecasting steady growth
Marketing Automation
Integration of Social CRM and marketing automation
Marketing automation has historically been limited to email, however,
customers are increasingly using social networks to provide
recommendations, advice and price comparisons prior to purchase
- In these cases, marketing automation software becomes more
reactive to consumer interest rather than proactive or
campaign-driven
- In addition, brands are seeking solutions that react in real-time to
customer activity and enable quick interaction with customers
Furthermore, marketing automation has greater efficacy when
powered with the mass of data gleaned across all online and offline
channels – leveraging the data captured across the complete
customer journey to create targeted messaging
Consequently, to facilitate seamless interaction with social media
and to enable reactive real-time targeting, a marketing automation
products need to be fully integrated with, and feed off of data
captured by measurement (i.e. tagging) and social marketing tools
- Innovation and integration have been key drivers of M&A as
software providers seek to differentiate their product suites with
the newest and most innovative automation applications
Key recent deals exemplifying these trends have been:
- Silverpop – CoreMotives
- Teradata – eCircle
- ExactTarget – Pardot
- Oracle – Eloqua
- Adobe – Neolane
Marketing automation deals have also derived some of the largest
multiples – Oracle paid over 9x revenues for Eloqua

Worldwide Enterprise Social Software Revenue
Social CRM / Social Software
Source: IDC (May 2013)
INTERNAL (at an Enterprise level)
Corporates continue to invest in procuring the best social tools in order to
optimise colleague interaction, the transference of ideas and sharing of
information
However, solo, stand-alone software solutions are no longer preferred as
companies are seeking solutions to be integrated within wider Enterprise
applications
- Enabling automatic response to workflow opportunities and other
supporting tools identified via social interaction
- Many of the large enterprise software vendors have functionality
in this area, e.g. Microsoft (Yammer and SharePoint), Salesforce
(Chatter), IBM (IBM Connections, Sametime, Notes etc.), SAP
(Jam)
EXTERNAL (customer engagement)
Brands are increasing prominence of social media campaigns as a way to
attract and engage with customers and extend brand reach
- The continued growth of Facebook and Twitter advertising
revenues is a sign of confidence in social marketing
Consequently, CRM solution providers have acquired social tech platforms
to accelerate their capture of social market and offer brands another
‘touchpoint’ to reach and monitor customers
Fast, integration with wider solution has been a key occurrence:
- Oracle integrating Vitrue within Oracle’s Social Relationship Suite
- Marketo integrating Crowd Factory provides integrate marketing
automation activities i.e. lead generation, nurturing capabilities
across social applications
Analytics and gaining intelligence from the consumers ‘social voice’ has
also been a key focus of recent acquisitions, as seen by Twitter’s
acquisition of Blue Fin Labs and Oracle’s acquisition of Collective
Intelligence

Mobile ad revenue Total ad revenue
Mobile Advertising Market
Global mobile ad revenue nearly doubled in 2012
Facebook’s quarterly advertising revenue
Innovation and development in mobile market underpinned by
increasing tablet and smartphone penetration and the speed of
mobile internet access are driving increasing mobile ad revenues
Whilst historic M&A was driven by mobile ad penetration and
delivery, acquirers new focus on targeted advertising and delivery
based on user engagement, e.g. Yahoo, Criteo, Media6 Degrees,
[x+1] acquisitions
Location based targeting has also been a significant focus
of recent M&A activity, the number of local searches on
mobile devices quadrupled in 2012, evident with
acquisitions of AdMovate, Spindle and Pynt
Core limitations – the lack of cookies on mobile devices preventing
tracking or tagging of user mobile internet activity
Dominance of ‘app’ usage with core customer data owned
and held by app owner rather than brands
Google dominates mobile search market although Facebook and
Twitter are rapidly growing presence having created native ad
formats that seamlessly integrate with user experience generating
higher value impressions
Google is constantly looking to retain its leadership in this
fast moving market and has made a number of acquisitions
in order to do so, including AdMob (now integrated into
AdWords), Motorola Mobility, and more recently investments
in targeting technology (Adelphic)
Whilst Facebook’s mobile advertising revenue grew 70% from Q1 to
Q2 2013 social networks need to fear ‘over monetisation’ and
carefully balance user engagement, number and frequency of ads
and advertiser ROI 16

US spend on video ads served to PCs and mobile devices will reach
$4.14 billion this year, more than twice 2011 levels, and expected to
double again by 2017 (Source: eMarketer)
Mobile video is growing at 112% vs. 35% for online video
Growth of video advertising driven by
Increase in connection speeds and broadband and
introduction of 4G increasing consumption of video
Growth of second screen viewing
Growth of video-on-demand and consumption of PAY-TV;
Netflix revenues forecasted to grow by 31% in 2013 since
2011 (using H1 2013 run-rate)
Increased appetite of brands to develop advertiser focused
content embedded with other market initiatives, i.e. Red Bull
‘sky dive’ campaign
Ability to target video advertising to individual users rather
than broader demographically defined TV ads
Video M&A activity remains strong and is still largely driven by ad
management platforms and networks adding video advertising
networks/platforms to their display and search capabilities
Examples include AOL Networks/Adap.tv, WPP/Panache,
Adconian/Smartclip, and MediaMath/tap.me
Still room for the market to evolve, with potential investments
expected to cover the areas of social video, rights management,
tracking & analytics and interactive content are likely to drive M&A
activity
