Now Streaming: A guide to everything you need to know about CTV

Marketers know that connected TV (CTV) is one of the fastest-growing digital environments. In our CTV & Ads Research survey released earlier this year, we reported that almost 90% of people in Australia stream digital content on CTV, with 74% using their connected TVs to watch ad-supported programming. Recent discussions around the shift to CTV have emphasized the importance of holistic, cross-screen strategies for measuring media quality on the platform. Despite its promise, advertisers have real concerns about in-stream ads, ranging from a lack of transparency to high CPMs, CTV fraud, geo delivery, CTV brand safety, and reach.

That’s why IAS is helping the industry tackle connected TV concerns head on, so the tremendous benefits of CTV advertising can be fully realized. Better data for insights & optimizations, flexibility, increased scale, and precise contextual targeting are all possible with the right innovations.
