On desktops and mobile, ads via HTML5 work better than those made with Flash, improving campaign deliverability by as much as 50 percent and bolstering marketers' willingness to budget for creative programmatic—defined as the science of targeting images and copy at individual consumers. Now, advertiser and investor money is flowing to creative programmatic startups like PaperG, Persio and Spongecell, among others. For instance, PaperG this week announced a fundraising round of $5 million after picking up publishing clients including Hearst, Charter Media and Tribune. "With Flash, you could have 10 different creatives with 10 different ways, so you'd have in the order of magnitude of about 100 different versions of the ad," explained Scott Cunningham, svp at the Interactive Advertising Bureau and general manager of the IAB Tech Lab, which on Monday...
