What makes an effective TV ad? The most effective TV commercials are created in such a way that the audience remembers not only the ad, but also the brand and the message behind the ad.

The trades are talking a lot about the rise of over-the-top (OTT), buzzing about streaming video on demand (SVOD), and salivating over the measurement possibilities from connected TVs.
