Digital video ad spend is growing but behind the scenes, the industry still relies heavily on inefficient technologies and workflows from years ago. Yep, it’s like 1995 out there. But whilst we’ve said ‘goodbye’ to VHS, dial-up modems and Tickle Me Elmo*, media agencies are still sending emails back and forth and manually checking video assets, just to activate digital advertising. What’s the deal? And more importantly, what can be done to fix it?
We answer these questions and more in our new report ‘Get Control of Your Video Asset Workflow’ which is now available. The report identifies where the main problems lie in the ecosystem and presents solutions to futureproof effective ad deliveries.
Using bespoke survey data and interviews from leading global media agencies, we get under the media agency hood to uncover the pain points that are causing campaign delays, quality issues, security risks and whole lotta frustration and money. For instance, did you know that:
70% of media agencies have problems sourcing assets
78% are still using email to receive video assets
85% still manually check video assets!
Sound familiar? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Be ahead of the game: Fill in the form to download ‘Get Control of Your Video Asset Workflow’ now.
*Okay, there’s still a place for Tickle Me Elmo in 2020

Agentic AI vs AI wrappers vs custom AI: How to choose your path
You're about to spend $500K on an AI initiative. You've got 3 options on the table, and they'll lead you to wildly different places. Pick wrong, and you're rebuilding in 18 months. Pick right, and you'll have a system that scales, costs less to maintain, and actually does what executives promised.
The choice is between wrapping existing AI models, building custom AI solutions from scratch, or going agentic. Most teams don't understand the real trade-offs until they're locked into the wrong one.

Operationalizing AI in advertising: Why it must be embedded, not bolted on
Operationalizing AI in advertising isn’t about adding another tool to your stack. It’s about embedding intelligence into the systems that govern creative production, compliance, and delivery, so automation scales without creating more operational friction.

Navigating Channel 4’s 2026 closed caption mandate
As ad compliance requirements tighten across the UK and Europe, closed captioning has evolved from an accessibility checkbox to a strategic necessity. Whether you're managing CTV campaigns or social media creative, automated ad testing for caption quality is no longer optional - it's fundamental to reaching today's fragmented, multi-screen audiences.
The advertising landscape is facing a seismic shift. By March 1, Channel 4 will become the first UK broadcaster to mandate closed captions across all advertising - including linear TV, streaming, and sponsorships.
The mandate is a redefined standard for global inclusivity. Here is everything you need to know about the new mandate and how to stay ahead of the curve.
