Television advertising has played an important role in transmitting brand information to consumers for the past sev- eral decades. However, technological and social developments have led marketers to seek new advertising formats to effec- tively deliver their messages. Global television ad expendi- tures are expected to grow by 2.5% year on year, while spending on Internet advertising will increase by 13.9% (Warc 2013). From 2006 to 2012, only digital video advertising showed continuous growth as a percentage of total Internet advertising revenues in the United States (Interactive Advertis- ing Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers 2013). These trends show that marketers and advertisers have gradually increased their spending on online video advertising. Furthermore, video ad view volume increased by 47% from 2011 to 2012, which is more than double the growth rate of video views (23%) (FreeWheel 2013). This implies that users are watching more Web-based video ads than ever.
