Unilever CMO Keith Weed on why the marketing industry needs to recognise change and ‘stop marking its own homework’

Steve Kaplan Marketing:

Weed questioned how the industry has got to the stage of people checking whether half a pixel of video for two seconds counts as a view, when family members, friends and non-industry folk would disagree. He said that the metrics used to measure campaigns need to change, as the marketing industry needs to “stop marking its own homework and own up to what is the sensible metric.”

“Everyone in the industry needs to keep up with changes in order to compete like crazy in clear waters, rather than all bumping in to each other not knowing what is going on,” he said.

And in order to get to this stage he says that marketers must consider the three V’s:

  1. Viewability
  2. Verification
  3. Value
