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

"shrinking losses" to only 295M from a 511M loss -- look at all that revenue though - 1.87 BILLION Lots to work with #advertising #revenue #streaming #profit #Business #Loss #bundle During the latest quarter, the company hit 71 million Paramount+ streaming subscribers worldwide, up from 67.5 million Paramount+ customers at the end of its fourth quarter, with 3.7 million customers added during the past three months. "And the studio shrunk its streaming loss to $286 million for the first quarter, an improvement over a $511 million loss in Q1 2023. Direct-to-consumer revenue rose 24 percent to $1.87 billion, as advertising and subscription revenues were both up, driven by growth from Pluto TV and Paramount+" https://lnkd.in/ggJYiNwb

✅🖥️ DIGIDAY (6/27): “NBCU and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) are making inventory on the Peacock streaming platform and the Eurosport website and supporting apps available to buy in private marketplaces (PMP for programmatic advertisers). That development could mean brands with smaller budgets can access huge Olympic audiences previously fenced off to big spenders. Peacock is set to carry the entire Olympic schedule — over 5,000 hours of live sports — and ads running against that coverage will all be available to buy programmatically, via a partnership with ad tech provider The Trade Desk. At the same time, Warner Bros. Discovery, which holds coverage rights across Europe via its Eurosport brand, has also begun to make inventory on its Olympic coverage available programmatically. It launched a new marketplace in May, WBD Connect, which gives advertisers access to ad inventory across CNN International Commercial (CNNIC) and WBD Sports Europe, including Eurosport, in partnership with ad tech vendor Magnite. While Eurosport streaming ads WBD’s streaming platforms Max and discovery+ will not be available to buy programmatically, the publisher has put ads on the Eurosport website and apps on the table. Like NBCU, the majority of WBD’s inventory is available via PMPs, though it’s also making a limited inventory available to the open market via pre-bid and in-app mediation.” ⬇️ #streamingtv #programmatic #olympics #ctv #ott #avod #smarttv https://lnkd.in/eeGpq4d7

A recent Wall Street Journal article by Isabella Simonetti (gifted link below) reveals that TV networks are embracing their aging viewership and challenging the notion that younger demographics are the most valuable targets for advertisers. With the median age of viewers now in their 50s and 60s (MTV viewers average 51 years old!) for many networks, executives argue that reaching consumers based on their purchasing habits, rather than age, is the key to effective advertising. Older viewers often have more disposable income, are less sensitive to price increases, and are still making brand decisions. By focusing on the mass-market reach of TV and targeting people likely to buy a product, regardless of age, media buyers are adapting to the changing landscape of television viewership. As media and entertainment professionals, it's crucial to recognize the importance of this demographic shift and adapt our approaches accordingly. What do you think about this? #advertising #consumerhabits #mediastrategies #mediaproduction

The efficiency of programmatic supply paths is one of the key topics driving both digital transformation in the industry, as well as being a sticking point when it comes to dealmaking. This has led to numerous innovative enablements in recent years, and it is time publishers got a fairer end of the deal. #AdTech #AdPublishing #Data

When was the last time you saw a TV commercial? Many consumers have moved to streaming television (CTV/OTT) over linear cable, but ads are quickly infiltrating what has been an ad-free arena. Two things are happening: the American public is moving to streaming, and ads on streaming are growing fast. A recent report by DoubleVerify and TVision highlights some compelling data on the growing influence of CTV ads, indicating a shift in viewer attention that marketers cannot afford to ignore. According to the report, U.S. viewer attention to CTV ads surged to 51.5% in the first quarter of this year, up from 49.2% the previous quarter. While linear TV still holds a slight edge in overall ad attention at 54.5%, premium CTV apps have now surpassed linear TV, achieving a remarkable 56.1% attention rate. This trend signifies a pivotal moment for advertisers. With CTV ad volumes increasing across major brand categories, industries like education, electronics, and consumer products are witnessing significant boosts in ad spend. Additionally, political and government ads have seen a surge as we approach the upcoming election cycle. The report also reveals interesting insights into consumer behavior. Most households use three or fewer CTV apps, with YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu leading in viewership. Furthermore, the reach of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) apps, such as The Roku Channel, has grown by 9%, reflecting the expanding CTV ecosystem. So, what does this mean for advertisers? 1️⃣ Enhanced Engagement: CTV offers an interactive and immersive viewing experience, capturing viewers' attention more effectively than traditional linear TV. 2️⃣ Targeted Advertising: With advanced data analytics, CTV enables precise audience targeting, ensuring that ads reach the right demographic at the right time. 3️⃣ Flexibility and Innovation: CTV allows for creative ad formats and dynamic content delivery, allowing brands to experiment and innovate. Yan Liu, CEO of TVision, aptly stated, “Each quarter, we see advancements in CTV advertising - in terms of reach and scale but also in terms of attention and engagement from viewers.” This sentiment is echoed by the report's findings, which underscore the increasing value and effectiveness of CTV advertising. As we continue to navigate the transformation of media consumption, it's clear that the CTV trend continues to grow despite naysayers. But evenmore importantly, in the same way that death and taxes are inevitable, so are ads. Brands that leverage the unique advantages of CTV will be better positioned to engage their audiences, drive conversions, and achieve long-term growth. ❓ What are your thoughts on the evolution of CTV❓ Comment 👇 For more insights, check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/etw-q_Ri #Marketing #CTV #Advertising #DigitalTransformation #AdTech Data Genomix

While I can’t speak to the legitimacy of the accusations herein, this is still a worrying situation for advertisers everywhere. Publications whose reputations are staked on their image of legitimate business are not what many may expect to be perpetrators of MFA Ad fraud. That being said, we can better understand ad fraud by looking at the incentive changes on the supply side of these AdTech deals. Ad fraud particularly harms multicultural publishers, as their reach and impact receive decreased impact when improperly assigned to Ad spaces. #AdFraud #AdTech #ProgramaticSupplyChain

This week, Mark Donnigan and I discuss [ 🎙 https://lnkd.in/e8xZH8j5] ad tech and how some SSPs are packaging CTV inventory into curated, omnichannel deals, resulting in CTV inventory being attached to less desirable content. While SSP auctions allow buyers to tailor bids to media quality, buyers could bid highly on packages with only some premium inventory. We also detail the report that Disney has been striking deals that call for significant rollbacks in CPM rates, discounting them by as much as 10-15%. With Amazon Prime Video’s recent decision to make its basic streaming service ad-supported and Netflix offering ads, there is a significant increase in digital ad inventory available, driving down pricing. We also show that nothing comes close to the TV viewership of NFL games compared to sports viewership numbers from the NHL, MLB, WNBA, NBA, Formula 1, U.S. Open, Indy 500, UFL and Premier League. We break out the average TV viewership numbers for NFL games across all broadcast channels for the 2022-2023 season and what will change this year when both NFL Christmas games will be on Netflix, resulting in what we expect to be the largest live-streaming event ever in the US. Finally, we talk about the history of StackPath and its announcement it has shut down the company and will liquidate its assets. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/e8xZH8j5

What should the marketing community do about problematic ad placements? If the fundamentals are missing or broken, then it's almost impossible to do anything more complicated on top of that. The most basic function of an ad agency, going back to letterpress days, has been tear sheets -- inform the brand decision-maker about the context in which their ad ran. When the web advertising business has trouble doing that, and an advertiser doesn't get a comprehensible report about what they're sponsoring, then it's first priority to fix. The agency has a responsibility to make it clear to the client where their ad is running, and the adtech scene has the responsibility to give them the tools to do it in a clear and practical way. And yes, the agency's responsibility to inform the client about what they're sponsoring is more important, not less, in situations where the client would prefer to pretend not to see what they're sponsoring.

Brands are demanding “more efficient programmatic supply paths with fewer tech partners between buyers and sellers” ahead of upfronts in the CTV space. Supply path optimization is on their brain and they’re going to do their best to receive the most bang for their buck. This strategy has grown more trendy and the evidence provided by Catherine Perloff in this source shows that. #Brands #CTV #AdTech #Programmatic

Measurement remains a paramount concern for CMOs in the back half of 2024. A recent WARC survey underscores this sentiment, revealing that 78% of CMOs are prioritizing better measurement frameworks to enhance decision-making and prove ROI. Verizon Value CMO Cheryl Gresham’s commentary in Ad Age underlines these findings, emphasizing the need for robust outcomes measurement to drive ad effectiveness. Understanding the true impact of your marketing efforts is more critical than ever in today's complex TV environment. Outcomes deliver tangible results, empowering Fortune 500 CMOs like Cheryl to make informed, strategic decisions that align their organizations. Effective outcomes measurement isn’t just about proving value – it’s about shaping future strategies with confidence. Great read from Adrianne Pasquarelli. https://lnkd.in/eaKPZ53t #CMO #measurement #outcomes

The IAB Predicts Social Video Will Overtake CTV This Year. Social video “is taking more of a lead over CTV” because it provides better campaign reporting based on an advertiser’s preferred business outcomes, a capability that CTV lacks in comparison. Marketers are under pressure to justify their investments by connecting their ads to results, which is why they’re raising investments in social video more than CTV this year. But in my experience while attribution remains the king, we need to think about incrementality. https://lnkd.in/dYze9K-3
