Frankfurt, 19/08/2019. Reach and advertising impact: The interplay of these two disciplines is a focal point of this year’s AGF Forum. Held under the motto “Total Video is not enough”, the industry get-together in Frankfurt will present the latest studies highlighting the critical importance of reach for quickly achieving a strong advertising impact. Other key points will be addressed by the futurologist and trend researcher Matthias Horx and the data specialist Tobias Degsell, a former employee of the Nobel Prize Museum in Stockholm and founder of the Swiss consulting firm Combiner.
“True to this year’s motto, ‘Total Video is not enough’, AGF will highlight the importance of reach research not only as the basis for media planning, but also as the basis for valid advertising impact research. We must always keep this in mind as we refine our convergent measurement approach”, said Kerstin Niederauer-Kopf, Chairperson of the Executive Management of AGF Videoforschung. AGF tracks convergent video usage in Germany in consultation with advertising companies and media agencies.
Once a year, AGF invites representatives of TV broadcasters and video platforms, agencies and advertisers to Frankfurt to discuss the current status of reach research and AGF projects. Other relevant industry topics are also addressed. AGF expects around 300 participants to attend the AGF Forum, which will be held in the Gesellschaftshaus Palmengarten on 26 September 2019.
