The theme of the IAB's Annual Leadership Meeting this year, which kicks off on Sunday, is "The Next $50 Billion," a reference to the $50 billion that U.S. advertisers were on track to have spent on digital advertising last year based on the IAB's revenue studies for the first three quarters of the year.Ms. Wiener "speaks not just as an intellectual and thought leader, although she definitely is, but she speaks as a practical leader as well who is responsible for putting money in the bank and giving people jobs," said IAB President-CEO Randall Rothenberg, who said he is "deeply focused" on the blurring of the lines between TV and digital video. He pointed to Ms. Wiener's sales and operations experience as qualities that contributed to her appointment. She ran Meredith Corporation's... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
