    CTV is now omnipresent in U.S. households, in turn completely reshaping the TV industry. Viewers are embracing streaming and wide array of streaming choices.

  • [VIDEO] Why CTV’s March to Full-Funnel/Lower-Funnel and Shoppable TV is Inevitable

    The following video was recorded at VideoNuze’s fourth annual Connected TV Advertising Summit virtual on June 8, 2023.

    Why CTV’s March to Full-Funnel/Lower-Funnel and Shoppable TV is Inevitable
    In 2023 the vast majority of CTV ads will be bought with upper-funnel KPIs, as TV ad buyers seek to replace GRPs lost due to traditional TV’s decline and cord-cutting. With a $70 billion TV ad market in the U.S. alone, the shift from linear TV to CTV has lots of runway ahead. But more strategically significant are myriad initiatives that are transforming CTV into a full-funnel/lower-funnel channel. In an era when the importance of first-party data is rapidly increasing, engaging viewers on their TVs will soon become table stakes. In this session, learn how CTV is going to create a multibillion-dollar bonanza in shoppable TV, as well as new frontiers in content creation and personalization.

  • [VIDEO] Unraveling the Measurement and Attribution Imperative

    The following video was recorded at VideoNuze’s fourth annual Connected TV Advertising Summit virtual on June 8, 2023.

    Unraveling the Measurement and Attribution Imperative
    There is likely no single topic that generates more coverage and industry hand-wringing than measurement and attribution. For many in the industry, establishing a single, or possibly multiple credible currencies, is priority #1. Yet tens of billions of dollars of spending are transacted in digital without such currencies, and rather are based on actual outcomes. With a full-funnel/lower-funnel future ahead for CTV, how should CTV’s transaction backbone be informed by a traditional TV currency paradigm? Join us for a robust discussion of how critical measurement and attribution issues are being addressed, with an eye to unlocking CTV’s ultimate success.

  • [VIDEO] Welcome to Connected TV Advertising PREVIEW 2023 virtual

    The following video was recorded at VideoNuze’s third annual Connected TV Advertising PREVIEW: 2023 virtual on February 28, 2023.

    Welcome to Connected TV Advertising PREVIEW 2023 virtual
    Connected TVs and streaming are transforming the TV and advertising industries. CTV has become the hottest corner of the advertising business, forecast by eMarketer to grow another 27% in 2023 to $27 billion, in the U.S. alone. All in the face of significant economic headwinds. Yet, we are still in the very early innings of the CTV era.  

    This afternoon’s program will explore topics including:

    - Key macro trends and opportunities in CTV in 2023

    - How/when CTV advertising will be optimized for the bottom of the “purchase funnel,” which will in turn attract huge buckets of ad spending

    - If the proliferation of FASTs might lead to “SLOW” (SVOD Losses On the Way)

    - How CTV UX innovation (in both content and ad formats) is driving new value for viewers and advertisers.

    - How Trusted Media Brands (TMB), as a traditional publisher that includes a portfolio of digital-first brands, is successfully capitalizing on CTV and streaming

    The Big Picture: Trends and Opportunities in CTV in 2023
    Connected TV is the hottest sector of the advertising industry, forecast by eMarketer to grow 27% in 2023 to $27 billion in the U.S. alone. Despite significant economic headwinds, CTV continues to enjoy significant advantages by combining the best of TV advertising’s site, sound and motion, with the best of digital advertising’s targetability, interactivity and optimization. Still, many challenges remain. This session will explore all the most significant factors influencing CTV’s evolution in 2023.

  • [VIDEO] Is CTV’s Future at the Bottom of the Funnel?

    The following video was recorded at VideoNuze’s third annual Connected TV Advertising PREVIEW: 2023 virtual on February 28, 2023.

    Is CTV’s Future at the Bottom of the Funnel?
    With linear TV’s decline, CTV ad spending has surged as advertisers “follow the eyeballs” in order to achieve their reach and frequency objectives. But rather than CTV being viewed solely as a “top of funnel” branding channel, its biggest opportunity may be as a “full funnel” or even “lower funnel” opportunity. This would unlock performance-oriented advertising budgets that are based on high impact targeting and measurement, much the same as the successful playbook Google has run in search and Facebook has run in social. Learn how and when CTV may evolve into full funnel and what this means for all market participants.

    Interview With TMB’s President and CEO Bonnie Kintzer
    How a Traditional Publisher is Succeeding with CTV and Streaming
    The venerable magazines “Reader’s Digest,” “Family Handyman” and “Taste of Home” may not be first to mind when thinking of CTV and streaming. But their owner, TMB (formerly Trusted Media Brands), has an expansive vision of how its strong brands and their super-fans can be leveraged for success in the modern era. Turbocharging TMB’s growth are its 2021 acquisition of Jukin Media and a portfolio of digital-first brands. In this interview, TMB’s president and CEO Bonnie Kintzer explains how TMB is evolving and fully capitalizing on all of the opportunities of CTV and streaming.

  • [VIDEO] FASTs – Road to Gold or Road to “SLOW?”

    The following video was recorded at VideoNuze’s third annual Connected TV Advertising PREVIEW: 2023 virtual on February 28, 2023.

    FASTs – Road to Gold or Road to “SLOW?”
    Free ad-supported TV or “FAST” has become one of the buzziest terms in the streaming and CTV industries. Content providers are eagerly launching FAST channels to capitalize on two key trends: advertisers’ insatiable demand for premium CTV ad inventory and viewers’ SVOD fatigue as economic uncertainty escalates. All of this makes FASTs a “road to gold” in the short-term. But in the longer-term, is flooding the market with a lot of free premium programming going to precipitate "SLOW" – “SVOD Losses On the Way?” as viewers are further conditioned to consume free premium video via FASTs and expect ever-better shows to be accessible without payment required?
