"The video advertising marketplace has evolved into what some participants have described to me as ‘four-dimensional chess.’ It's hard to follow which themes matter, which data points matter, or what the data is actually telling us. Michael Beach and his State of the Screens newsletter have been the most consistently reliable resources for me in answering all three of these questions on a weekly basis. Less is more, and Michael has proven a mastery of that week in and week out.”
- Andrew Rosen, Founder of PARQOR

"Cross Screen Media’s newsletter is one of the few I must open each week, and Michael has brought the same voracious consumption of news media and illuminating visuals to his book. With digital advertising seemingly changing every week, a clear guide to the industry is more needed than ever and Michael’s firsthand knowledge helps him provide just that."
