eMarketer published a fascinating piece titled, Can Marketers Optimize Brand Campaigns in Real-time?

The article notes that only six percent of agencies are able to recognize consumers' interests in real-time. 

In a world of Twitter, Facebook, and the real-time web, brand marketing operates at a Paleolithic cadence. We've found that the average age of in-market media is three to six months.  When yesterday's paper is old news, the odds of months-old creative messages resonating are extremely low. Moreover, if creative is simply not working, or certain placements are driving little to no value, its imperative that brands operate a command center that allows for immediate action and response.  When we say immediate, we mean real-time.  

Flite is helping brands ensure that their brand marketing campaigns are real-time and app-driven.  At the IAB Roadshow in San Francisco, Charles Schwab, Universal McCann, and Flite demonstrated real-time brand marketing in action. Schwab leveraged Flite to ensure that their brand campaign reflected real-time financial market conditions. We found that creative placements fed by real-time market conditions drove campaign success.  Viewings ads as programmable media is vital to ensure relevance and results.  Flite integrates both real-time content and applications directly in ad unit, ensuring that each impression is relevant, actionable, and meets the expectations of today's consumer for web experiences in 2012.
