“Advertising supported TV on demand is the fastest growing segment of the global media market over the next five years, and our unmatched ability to plan and measure converged TV with OneView, our cross-device data management, is the lynchpin to our success -- as it solves a big problem for advertisers and media companies,” Montes said.
