I spent twenty years selling video inventory.

Every innovation I sold you was an attempt to make an interruption more tolerable. Shorter pods. Better targeting. Skippable. Then pause ads, sold as "non-disruptive" in the same breath as ad loads went up.

Here's what I think we all got wrong. Television has only ever had one thing to sell an advertiser: time inside somebody else's show. Every improvement was a better rental on the same thirty seconds.

Out-of-home never had that problem. It sells space — a permanent place that doesn't stop anything. What it never had was any idea who was standing in front of it.

We built the screen where both are true at once. I'll take the argument in the comments.

Illustrative draft, not a real post. No paid amplification — a credible operator arguing a category in the first person outperforms a brand page announcing one.
