A high-impact tool that helps leverage your creative and media buying investment.

Here’s how we break it down…

• Specifically, OTT/CTV is how people access streaming services through devices such as Amazon Fire, Roku and a variety of other connected TVs.
• Broadcast & Cable television: Reaches a wide swath of consumers in a very specific, targeted time slot; you’re buying a specific show on a specific channel at a specific timed.
• OTT/CTV (Over-The-Top/Connected TV): Reaches a VERY specific audience. You don’t know (and quite frankly don’t care) what they’re watching or when. You’re targeting a very specific demographic, so your OTT/CTV investment is acutely tailored to the audience you want to reach. At the heart of it, you’re not buying the show… you’re buying the viewer.
• OTT/CTV (aka Streaming Television) is a logical extension of traditional television advertising…. If OTT is the paint brush, broadcast is the paint ball.

Here are some essential facts you should know about OTT/CTV efficacy:

• With over 30% of the country cutting the cord, cable subscriptions continue to dwindle, and more people are moving to streaming services. If you aren’t part of the streaming advertising revolution, you are potentially missing over a third or more of your market .
• Since there are more streaming platforms than ever, more people are opting into ad-support streaming services to keep costs down. This is a prime opportunity to show up and influence a new audience that you could potentially be missing in your linear strategy.

Additional thoughts regarding OTT/CTV:

• If you aren’t leveraging everything streaming advertising has to offer, YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE MISSING. Limiting yourself to one streaming publisher reduces the audience size you can potentially reach. Larger publishers like Roku or Hulu only represent one slice of the total market share but understand that you don’t want to show up on TOO many publishers. That can diminish your reach, which can in turn affect performance. A strategic mix of vetted premium publishers ensures the best campaign results.

• Traditional TV and Digital Video are Complimentary. Traditional TV and nonlinear content offerings will coexist. Remember, the two are friends, not foes. Linear (traditional broadcast) and on-demand content are equally important and can coexist peacefully. Video-on-demand will soon become mainstream in all population groups; at the same time, linear TV remains significant…especially in terms of live content like sports and other major events—preserving the importance of traditional, linear television.
