Why Connected TV
Advertising

Connected TV refers to the device that is used to stream internet content. This could be a smart TV, or devices like Roku or Apple TV, which enable a TV to stream digital video. Consumers of all ages are shifting to consume their content via CTV channels because CTV enables them to stream whatever they want, when they want. Compared to the small mobile or laptop screen, a CTV ad is more immersive and relaxed, and typically delivers significantly higher completion rates than desktop, laptop, or mobile viewing.

How Connected TV Advertising Works

Connected TV consists of any type of TV that can be connected to the internet and can stream digital video at a viewer's convenience. Connected TV is a subset of over-the-top (OTT), including apps and services that don't require a subscription to traditional cable or pay-TV service.

3 Benefits of CTV Advertising

Connected TV Provides Access to TV Audiences

Media buyers have more choices for TV ad spend. There are now more opportunities for brands to reach their target audiences, in more efficient ways. CTV advertising can be an extension of traditional television buys, or a complement to digital media buys. Either way, this channel enables you to serve your ads at the right time, to the right audience, the right number of times, so that audience doesn't tune out.

Lower Financial Commitment and Specific Audience Targeting

Connected TV provides huge opportunities to really hone in on a target audience—using 1st-party and 3rd-party data to target audiences and tailor campaigns accordingly. The ability to target on connected TV provides better audience efficiency, reduces media waste, and the noise of reaching irrelevant viewers and households.

Deeper Insight Into Campaign Performance

One of the biggest CTV advertising benefits is the ability to assess progress against goals and metrics while a campaign is live, and adjust on the fly before the campaign ends. Track the impact of your CTV campaigns with digital metrics, including video completion rates, as well as offline impacts like dealer visits or in-store sales.

StackAdapt Resources

Connected TV (CTV) is a TV set that is connected to the internet. This connection is made through built-in capabilities, such as a smart TV, or another device that enables a standard TV to become a connected TV (e.g. Roku, Apple TV, etc.).

CTV offers the targeting of digital advertising, with the lean-back experience of television. When a consumer watches CTV, they are experiencing it in the same way they would watch linear TV—on a big screen and in the casual environment of their living room. Compared to the small mobile or laptop screen, a CTV ad is more immersive and relaxed, and typically delivers significantly higher completion rates than computer, laptop or mobile viewing.

Here's a brief look at CTV trends as more TV viewers around the globe begin to "cut the cord".

All of these statistics show the overall change in the TV-viewing landscape. Viewers are ditching the traditional and migrating toward OTT and video on demand channels. Without having your marketing message displayed on connected TV channels, you could be missing out on tens of millions of potential customers in the next few years.
