Why Marketers Need a Reliable Partner in the Era of Connected TV/OTT.
Streaming has taken the lead as the preferred medium among Americans for accessing television content. This shift in media consumption has reflected a significant change in the industry and marketers now face a critical challenge – finding a reliable marketing partner.
Businesses are finding themselves increasingly misinformed about their target audience and the channels used to display their messages, resulting in wasted ad spend and wasted opportunities to connect with their audience.
There are many dishonest players out there who deceive businesses with claims of running high-quality video ads on their behalf. In truth, they’re merely taking low-quality, pre-roll creative and pushing it out into the CTV/OTT landscape. This is bad news for businesses as it creates an unfavorable impression on prospective buyers and results in wasted time and budget.
What are Connected TV and OTT?
First, let’s touch on what CTV and OTT are, and how they differ. Connected TV (CTV) refers to the televisions that stream video content over the internet, such as smart TVs and devices connected to TVs (Roku stick, Apple TV, etc.). CTV ads appear alongside apps and channels that display users’ favorite content.
Whereas over-the-top media (OTT) is the content streamed to any internet-enabled device. Examples include Hulu, Amazon, and videos from online publishers. OTT ads are video advertisements shown between OTT content, just like traditional TV commercials, except they can be specific to the device’s owner.
CTV and OTT audiences are 80% more likely to pay attention to brands that thoughtfully target them with messaging that’s in line with their interests, values, and lifestyle, and are twice as likely to make a purchase after seeing an ad compared to regular TV viewers).
Below, we’ve outlined the key requirements for a successful CTV/OTT ad campaign and how BRIDGE can help you through every step of the process.
