Gerard Broussard, a media research/analytic industry veteran whose background includes CBS Television Network, Ogilvy, MediaEdge, GroupM and, most recently Canoe Ventures, publishes “Bring Big Data to TV.” In this piece, Broussard articulately discusses the fragmentation of TV channels, viewer choice, the opportunity that exists for more precise TV ad placement and the changes in industry planning and execution processes required to get there.
