New York vs. Paris: The Ad Tech Industry Users in New York spend around 2 minutes and 30 seconds a day on business apps, but only around 30 seconds on sports apps. It’s practically the opposite for Parisians. (1)New York’s data plans can be expensive, so people use wifi as often as possible. Parisians can enjoy a crystal clear 4G connection for less than $30 a month. New York’s ad tech market is highly automated, while in Paris, publishers drive mobile innovation. New York creates privacy laws as a response to a problem, while Paris creates them before a problem arises. U.S. digital political ad spending in 2016 will reach $1 billion, but in Paris, the figure is $0, by law. (3)This year in the U.S., ad networks will sell 12% of total digital media revenue and ad exchanges 71%. (4) New York has a strong ad network presence, especially on mobile. On the other hand, in Paris, agencies and publishers actually know each other.
