“The latest results reaffirm the Internet’s growing importance for marketers to integrate online advertising into their overall media plans,” said David Silverman, Partner, Entertainment & Media Practice, PricewaterhouseCoopers. “While search advertising remains the largest format in terms of revenues, we expect to see new formats like video ads to continue to emerge as advertisers seek to leverage the branding opportunities afforded by the growing installed base of broadband users.”
