<p>It was a year that taught us the importance of perspective and becoming an active participant in problem-solving. It also taught us that the significant problems we face are surmountable, as long as we all work together.</p> <p>As an industry, we’ve learned to shrug off one uncertainty after another, to take hard hits in stride, and to maintain our focus onthe future.</p> <p>We’ve learned that, as basketball great Michael Jordan put it, “Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”</p> <p>We’ve had a heady glimpse of what lies ahead, in everything from the non-stop rise of streaming and gaming, to ubiquitously useful QR codes, to the early dawn of the metaverse. If there has been any silver lining to the pandemic, it is that it has allowed us a glimpse into our future—and that future means endless opportunity and potential.</p> <p>However, we are not going to realize that potential if we can’t let go of some baggage of the past. Growth brings lots of new challenges, but there are plenty of challenges that are all too familiar.</p> <p>We can’t shrug off fraud, despite our progress over the years—especially as it spreads to exploding channels like CTV. Technology matters. Transparency matters. </p> <p>We can’t shrug off the patchwork of legislation that keeps coming out of the dysfunction in Washington. </p> <p>We can’t shrug off the critical need for diversity and inclusion, especially when new thinking is needed.</p> <p>On all of these issues and more, the industry needs action and not words. So it’s fair to ask, what is IAB actually doing aboutany of this?</p> <p>We’re tackling ad fraud and other issues head-on. We are updating the industry toolkit to bring new technical standards to the marketplace. We’ve brought on respected industry veteran Anthony Katsur as CEO of IAB Tech Lab.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Action, not words.</h3> <p>If you read our latest economic study about “<strong><a href="https://www.iab.com/insights/the-economic-impact-of-the-market-making-internet/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Economic Impact of the Market-Making Internet—Advertising, Content, Commerce, and Innovation: Contribution to U.S. Employment and GDP</a></strong>,” you know the internet economy grew 7 times faster than the total U.S. economy and created over 7 million jobs in the last four years. Policymakers can’t make good decisions unless they know that too.</p> <p>We’ve significantly strengthened our efforts in Washington, hiring public policy pro Lartease Tiffith (formerly of Amazon) as IAB Executive Vice President, Public Policy. We’ve also onboarded Brendan Thomas as Vice President, Public Policy Communications.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Action, not words. </h3> <p>Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) remains a critical issue. We’ve brought on DEI champion Jessalin Lam to lead IAB’s Learning & Development and DEI Programs and launched the industry’s first digital media apprenticeship program. We’re making it easy for companies of every size to have an immediate impact. It’s an intense year-long, on-the-job training program that builds powerhouse skills. If we want leaders for tomorrow, we must invest today.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Action, not words. </h3> <p>Speaking of which, this applies to IAB members too— including agencies, who are now able to be members in full.</p> <p>Signing up as a member at IAB is no different than signing up for a gym membership. If you want the industry to get into shape you have to show up. You have to sweat. Inspiration and perspiration. You have to do the work.</p> <p>There’s more than enough heavy lifting for everyone, and we need the industry’s strongest executives to join in. If we’re notracing fast enough in 2022, IAB members need to join us in demanding that we move forward.</p> <p>Running in place won’t get us anywhere.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">In 2022, we need action, not words.</h3> <p>We need to build on the momentum of 2021. </p> <p>We need all of us, all in it together.</p> <p><strong>Let’s make 2022 matter.</strong></p> <p>Yours respectfully,</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized wp-align-left"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2021-03-21-at-10.35.07-am-20210321.png" alt="" width="320" style="margin-left: -10px;" /></figure> <p>David Cohen<br>Chief Executive Officer, IAB</p> <h1 class="toc wp-block-heading" id="h-2021-highlights-leading-through-unusual-times">2021 Highlights: Leading Through Unusual Times</h1> <p>2021 was a year of superlatives. The words <em>unprecedented, once in a lifetime</em>, and <em>volatile</em>, for example, have been useda lot. But 2021 was also a year of resilience, renewal, renaissance—and a time to reset.</p> <p>A study released in October 2021 called <strong><a href="https://www.iab.com/insights/the-economic-impact-of-the-market-making-internet/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Economic Impact of the Market-Making Internet</a></strong>, commissioned by IAB and led by a researcher from Harvard Business School, shows just how powerful our industry’s penchant for reinvention,resilience, and renewal has been.</p> <p><strong>The internet economy grew seven times faster than the total U.S. economy over the past four years, directlycreated over 7 million jobs, and now accounts for 12% of the U.S. gross domestic product.</strong></p> <p>That’s an astonishing feat and clearly shows that the market-making internet has never been more important. But it hasalso never been more challenged.</p> <p>In the U.S. in 2021, trust in the tech sector dropped precipitously to an <a href="https://www.axios.com/edelman-trust-barometer-tech-5787acea-8ef5-4d0b-9694-6e4f8eb006c4.html"><strong>all-time low</strong></a> of 57 out of 100, according to the Edelman Trust Barometer. The main reason for this drop is the increasingly “complicated” relationship between the public and technology— including the spread of misinformation, rising privacy concerns, and bias in artificial intelligence, allthings which touch our industry profoundly.</p> <p>There is no denying that Big Tech is under assault by lawmakers in Washington and there is major work ahead to persuadelegislators to not harm small businesses in their efforts to take on the biggest players. Part of rebuilding that trust also means our industry needs to strike the right balance between convenient and creepy for consumers and deliver personalization without compromising trust.</p> <p>And collectively, we need to think harder about the talent crisis and the new ways people want to live and work.</p> <p>According to the latest <strong>Women in the Workplace </strong>report from McKinsey, <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/diversity-and-inclusion/women-in-the-workplace" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>one in three women</strong></a> have considered downshifting their career or leaving the workforce this year.

Addressing this new landscape, the IAB Media Center is focused on the fast- changing video and audio habits of today’s consumers.</p> <p>Key areas of focus for the Media Center include:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Propelling adoption of digital video, advanced TV, CTV, and audio through education and adoption of standards and best practices</li><li>Maximizing the speed with which the industry advances by packaging and communicating technical video/audio standards in business terms</li><li>Reducing marketplace friction through shared terms and conditions and education in measurement with guidance on how to measure, plan, and evaluate campaigns using cross-platform video/audio</li><li>Developing advocacy for the value of news, quality publishing, and long-term investment along with practical advice to ensure brand safety and suitability</li></ul> <p>Key accomplishments of the Media Center in 2021 were focused around three campaigns: <strong>Tele://Vision</strong>, <strong>Audio Everywhere</strong> and <strong>News Saves Lives</strong>.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="television">Living the Stream: Tele://Vision</h4> <p>The last two years have accelerated the rise of streaming, making it even more crucial that the entire ecosystem change how video is bought, sold, measured, and optimized.</p> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.iab.com/insights/ctv-creative-best-practices-guide/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202.png" alt="" class="wp-image-144467" width="496" height="343" srcset="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202.png 992w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-300x207.png 300w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-768x531.png 768w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-124x86.png 124w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-24x17.png 24w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-36x25.png 36w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-48x33.png 48w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-02-at-10.51.38-pm-20220202-600x415.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px" /></a></figure></div> <p>While expectations for year-over-year growth in digital video have become the norm, there are nuances beneath the big numbers that point to how seismic shifts—from new viewing behaviors and launches of streaming platforms, and the ongoing migration of $70 billion in linear TV spend—are happening across multiple platforms and how the growth of CTV is increasingly becoming an omni-media story. To help members make sense of the changes required, IAB released the <strong><a href="https://www.iab.com/news/ctv-is-the-driving-force-in-2020-digital-video-ad-spend/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Video Ad Spend and Outlook for 2021</a></strong> before NewFronts. The report provides a lens to the trends in this marketplace, with guidance for brands, buyers, and sellers on how they can position and differentiate their video offerings based on where the money is moving and how planning, measurement, and creative are evolving to support brand engagement with consumers.</p> <p>Connected TV (CTV) is largely responsible for digital video’s resilience in 2021 thanks to strong consumer demand for streaming digital content.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p><em>Buyers are not only following consumer attention, they are flocking to CTV.

The <strong>CTV Creative Best Practices Guide </strong>released in August examines the current state of creative, identified where the challenges are, and denotes where the industry is coalescing in terms of creative strategy and scalable formats. Connected TV represents an entirely new platform with new content capabilities, creative formats, and audiences with new expectations.

To assist members in meeting this growing challenge, the IAB’s Legal Affairs Council launched the <strong><a href="https://www.iab.com/insights/privacy-laws-and-digital-advertising/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cross-Jurisdiction Privacy Project (CJPP)</a> </strong>in August of 2020 to explore how the privacy laws of Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Singapore, and South Korea apply to the digital advertising industry. Through 2020 and the first half of 2021, more than 150 lawyers from across the globe participated in this project. CJPP contributors included subject-matter experts in digital media from IAB member companies and partner law firms, as well specialist privacy counsel in each of the 11 jurisdictions covered by the CJPP.</p> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="alignleft size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203.png" alt="" class="wp-image-144599" width="255" height="332" srcset="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203.png 510w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203-230x300.png 230w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203-66x86.png 66w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203-18x24.png 18w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203-28x36.png 28w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.36.29-am-20220203-37x48.png 37w" sizes="(max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px" /></figure></div> <p>The results of the CJPP are impressive.

The working group, comprised of legal representatives from members across the connected TV (CTV) and over-the- top video (OTT) industry, met regularly, conferring on the state of data flows and privacy compliance efforts taken in response to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Those efforts culminated in November when IAB released its white paper entitled, <strong><a href="https://www.iab.com/insights/project-crosswalk-addressing-ccpa-compliance-within-the-ctv-ott-marketplace/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Project Crosswalk: Addressing CCPA Compliance within the CTV/OTT Marketplace</a></strong>. The white paper examined stakeholders within the CTV/OTT marketplace, how participants disclose and process personal information, how they view themselves when applying the CCPA definitions and corresponding compliance obligations, whether and what friction points exist when addressing CCPA compliance, and potential solutions deserving further exploration. Leveraging the insights gained from this effort, IAB is working with members to develop industry norms and solutions to help CTV and OTT companies respond to new privacy laws.</p> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><figure class="alignright size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203.png" alt="" class="wp-image-144614" width="429" height="234" srcset="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203.png 858w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-300x164.png 300w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-768x419.png 768w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-128x70.png 128w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-24x13.png 24w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-36x20.png 36w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-48x26.png 48w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-9.46.41-am-20220203-600x327.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px" /></figure></div> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act and the Impact on Digital Advertising</strong></h4> <p>IAB’s Legal Affairs Council conducted a webinar on <strong><a href="https://www.iab.com/events/virginias-consumer-data-protection-act-and-the-impact-on-digital-advertising/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act</a> </strong>which featured lawyers from Davis & Gilbert, The Trade Desk, Ziff Davis, and IAB’s General Counsel.

id="h-financial-review-sustained-investments-in-iab-members-success">Financial Review: Sustained Investments in IAB Members’ Success</h1> <p>Delivering value to our members is our top priority at IAB and the financial state of IAB started and ended the year strong, allowing us to invest in solutions for growth for our industry and our members.</p> <p>According to unaudited financials, IAB finished 2021 with $3.6 million net income versus the projected budget loss of $148,000—an incredible achievement and a show of resilience for both IAB and IAB Tech Lab.</p> <p>Despite another year of tremendous pandemic uncertainty, we were able to support the industry and deliver positive net income well above and beyond what we had planned. Membership dues revenue is projected to be $16.4 million for 2021, versus $15.7 million in 2020. Events at IAB in 2021 are expected to bring in $4.9 million, much higher than budgeted, despite most events being virtual for the second year in a row. This was largely due to our hugely successful virtual events in the first half of the year and the addition of three new events in the second half of the year to address new opportunities for our members: the Fall Podcast Upfront, Audience Connect, and the Fall Marketplace.</p> <div class="wp-block-image is-style-default rounded"><figure class="alignright size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-1024x476.png" alt="" class="wp-image-144653" width="768" height="357" srcset="https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-1024x476.png 1024w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-300x139.png 300w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-768x357.png 768w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-1536x714.png 1536w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-128x59.png 128w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-24x11.png 24w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-36x17.png 36w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-48x22.png 48w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203-600x279.png 600w, https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/2022-02-03-at-11.40.22-am-20220203.png 1946w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure></div> <p>Learning & Development revenue totaled $1.2 million versus $1.7 million budgeted, slightly softer than expected but it surpassed its year-end projection by $242,000 driven by a new head of the division and a handful of enterprise deals. The IAB Tech Lab is also expected to bring in a healthy $7.4 million in its sixth year of operation, compared to $6.4 million in 2020, due to growth in membership and the Tech Lab Summit event.</p> <p>Other bright spots in 2021 were our centers of excellence. The addition of two new boards in the Experience Center, the AR Marketplace Board, and the Games and Esports Marketplace Board, drove an increase in revenue, as did the addition of an Audio Board in the Media Center.</p> <p>Both IAB and the IAB Tech Lab showed significant savings in employee expenses due to attrition and as we delayed our return to the office in the pandemic. Virtual events, which are less expensive to produce than in-person events, allowed us to realize some savings as well.</p> <p>Additional ongoing revenue streams in 2021 included initiatives such as sponsored research, member services, international licensing fees, and other fundraising programs. IAB invested these revenues received towards helping member businesses grow and excel. Funding was directed toward producing valuable third-party research and tools for building brands in digital media.</p> <p>Overall, IAB managed expenses closely in 2021, which are projected to total $26.7 million and closed the year with $3.6 million net income and is very well positioned for an ambitious and fiscally sound 2022.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img
