More than just media.

It’s upfronts week, with many of the big TV networks, from NBCUniversal, to Fox to Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery hosting their annual presentations. Streaming giants Netflix and Amazon are also joining the festivities.   Measurement is emerging as an important part of this upfronts season, as advertisers are searching for more than just scale — they want to tie measurement and attribution data back to business results — meaning there is a bigger focus on the full loop from reach to conversion. Add in all the jockeying to be the dominant measurement currency and there’s a lot to talk about - with perhaps nothing more foundational than #identityresolution (especially for the connected household). It was a pleasure to join Chris Brooklier from The Trade Desk to talk about all of these things--and how Blockgraph is playing the important role of "data draino" unclogging the pipes of addressable television (credit Jonathan Heller). #householdidentity #measurement #attribution #signalloss #connectedTV #privacy

✅🖥️ AdExchanger (6/3): “Seedtag was mainly attracted to Beachfront’s SSP direct integrations with TV and streaming publishers, which is something that Seedtag doesn’t have much of. These publishers will attract new demand and more scale for Seedtag’s contextual ad products. Seedtag entered the US market in 2022. But it wasn’t until earlier this year that it launched its first CTV-focused contextual ad product that allows advertisers to apply contextual targeting signals to their streaming buys. More advertisers are now looking for addressable alternatives in light of signal loss and privacy concerns, which, in turn, is driving more interest in streaming ad products. Hence Seedtag’s decision to buy rather than build in order to capture that growing demand. Beachfront operates both a video-focused supply-side platform and ad server.” ⬇️ #streamingtv #ssp #dsp #ctvadvertising #spo https://lnkd.in/evvUE4hY

I always love talking brands, advertising and shopping! “Target stands out as a brand that is dedicated to ease, joy and affordability. But value isn’t just a pricing tactic. Their private label brands layer in additional benefits. For example, Target’s Good & Gather food and beverage brand offers high-quality, better-for-you products while its Favorite Day brand offers sweet indulgence with its cookies and ice cream sandwiches.” I agree! Target absolutely brings me joy. And who doesn’t love an ice cream sandwich. As consumers we are all fans of our favorite stores. As marketers, this is a crowded category that will always require strong focus to build brand fandom. Awesome seeing so many strong brands standing out.

Wow, this is great to see from the Roku team who want to bring increased transparency to programmatic CTV ad buys. 👏 With the Roku Exchange, programmatic buyers can access the same data as direct buyers, Louqman Parampath told AdExchanger, such as the length of ad breaks and when those breaks happen within a particular stream. Programmatic buyers also get more metadata about networks and channels, including genre. More here from Alyssa Boyle. #CTV #AVOD #FAST #Streaming #Programmatic #AdTech

✅⬇️ AdExchanger (5/24): “To some degree, the digitization of TV marketing is inevitable. Wall Street investors prefer advertising and media companies with the most promising long-term profitability. One way to get there is for streaming companies to access shopper data and strike partnerships with retailers to court advertisers with the promise of performance and attribution. Publishers want to relabel connected TV as a performance channel, (an analyst) said. But if that happens, she continued, “CTV will lose its cred” among buyers and brands as a viable replacement for legacy linear commercials. Say what you will about linear, but it’s a mass reach vehicle. And if CTV doesn’t provide the same reach opportunity, Wall Street may cool on public companies with a CTV advertising business, (the analyst) said. The reality is, upper-funnel channels, like streaming, have a strong downstream impact on outcomes even if they don’t directly drive a purchase. For example, CTV’s ability to drive mass reach and brand awareness is why more retail media spend is moving to streaming, said Max Willens, a senior analyst at eMarketer, also speaking at Programmatic I/O this week. According to eMarketer, the proportion of retail media spend going to CTV should grow from 12% this year to 20% by the end of 2027.” ⬇️ #shoppabletv #streamingtv #programamtic #ctv https://lnkd.in/eu7AbtTU

Retail media has emerged as the fastest-growing ad channel in the United States, experiencing a remarkable growth rate of 26.0% this year and capturing 14.1% of total US media spend. By 2028, nearly one in five ad dollars in the US will be devoted to retail media. This rapid growth emphasizes the importance of RMNs as a critical tactic of the marketing mix. However, despite this growth, RMNs face several key challenges...

✅🖥️ AdExchanger (6/28): “AdExchanger: What about digital-native brands that want to treat streaming TV like a performance marketing channel? Gartner: Competent performance marketers are starting to embrace streaming, including using it to compare incrementality with the rest of their buys. Their dollars are helping contribute to the maturation of the market. At the same time, there’s a big difference between CTV and over-the-top (OTT). Because OTT encompasses devices other than television sets, like phones and desktops, there’s more signal and attribution there that’ll attract direct response advertisers. People still don’t interrupt their TV viewing sessions very often to go and buy things, but when they do, it’s much more likely to happen on a personal device, not a TV screen. AdExchanger: What streaming trends will dominate for the remainder of the year? Gartner: The digital-native platforms are taking control of connected TV – and it’s not just the new entrants to ad-supported streaming, like Netflix and Prime Video. YouTube’s grip continues to tighten on the CTV market. TV programmers and digital platforms will continue to compete for streaming ad dollars by trying to differentiate themselves. Ad load is an especially big question streamers are trying to tackle right now.” ⬇️ #streaming #ctv #ott #upfronts #avod #fast
