LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NOM, the contextual video advertising company, today announced a record-breaking year, with a 100% YoY increase in revenue, 200% increase in new multi-million dollar clients, industry-defining product innovations and a new strategic partnership with Google.

These trends have coalesced, creating a rebirth of next generation contextual advertising within the burgeoning video advertising market which is projected to witness a compound annual growth rate of 20.89% to grow to US $155.18 billion by 2026, from US $41.132 billion¹ in 2019 with video accounting for more than half of all US programmatic display ad spending in 2022².  YouTube Ad Sales Hit $8.6 Billion in Q4, up 25% and topping Netflix revenue for the quarter, having delivered more than 5 trillion views of YouTube Shorts³.

"We were on the hunt for a partner to efficiently run YouTube media and ensure a brand suitable environment for our creative"  commented Greg Tedesco, EVP Digital Zeno Group. "To date, our results have been stellar and far exceeded benchmarks. The best part of the NOM relationship has been the client service and real-time interpretation and recommendations on performance."
