“Targeted advertising is evolving beyond age, gender and income demographics to a far more sophisticated picture of the consumer,” said Kathy Haley, TVNewsCheck’s publisher and co-founder. “Frank, Lyle, Michele and Frank are on the cutting edge of developments there and in automated advertising. Their conversation will look at those dynamics along with the fate of rep firms as station groups consolidate and how that may impact the sale of national advertising.”
