Amazon said its ad-supported video (AVOD) now reaches 120 million viewers each month; Vizio announced better measurement and targeting capabilities; and Tubi's total view time increased 54% in the first quarter, reaching a record 798 million streaming hours. The IAB’s CEO, David Cohen, says the industry must now turn its attention toward designing ad formats that call consumers to action "The ads must be relevant and engaging. We will not get a second chance at this."
