Connected TV Starts Here.

Maximizing CTV spend through contextual YouTube solutions.

The future is now for advanced TV advertising as video viewership shifts to digital first.  While CTV emerges from an advertising standpoint, already there is the opportunity to target more than 200 million people every month.  And, it can be done leveraging strategies, specifically contextual, which VuePlanner’s CTV capabilities deliver.

The YouTube CTV Opportunity.

Of course, the largest platform, Netflix, doesn’t offer advertising opportunities, and others, such as Hulu, are increasing ad-free subscriptions.  Yes, a challenge, but if history is any indication, ad-supported television models are not the exception they are the norm.  And that isn’t expected to change anytime soon.

Today, 64 percent of all streaming time is spent on three apps and two of the three – Netflix and Prime Video (Amazon) are advertising-free.  The third, which is the second largest, might surprise you.  When it comes to the emergence of CTV, 34 percent of all YouTube views occur on a connected TV.  Already an entertainment destination 41 million households enjoy across devices, CTV on the YouTube platform is rapidly growing – and it’s already the single biggest source of non-subscription supply in U.S. CTV advertising.
