LONDON — Mobile video heralds a chance for advertisers to reach consumers who may appear<\/em> to be distracted or in the outdoors – but who are actually highly engaged and watching TV, according to\u00a0Weather Channel international yield and programmatic Daniel Young<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s personal,” Young tells Beet.TV in this video interview. “They\u2019re watching it not only out of home but in-home as well.<\/p>\n

“I heard a term, \u201cmeerkatting<\/a>\u201d – they\u2019re watching terrestrial television or cable television whilst on the phone consuming other video content.<\/p>\n

“So I think there\u2019s a real opportunity to synchronise with other messaging. The way the phones are being built is for video; the screens are getting bigger.”<\/p>\n

The Weather Channel uses programmatic technology to sell ads inside its mobile app in real-time and depending on weather conditions in users’ locales, Young says.<\/p>\n
