Blog-post-Auto_tile-image_1200x675

Editor's Note: Today is Day 1 of Innovid's "Vertical Benchmarks Week." Automotive and consumer packaged goods (CPG) are the first vertical industries where we're sharing Innovid's unique data from hundreds of billions of impressions on frequency, reach, and creative performance. As the week continues, we'll also explore our data on four other vertical industries — financial services and insurance, pharmaceuticals, QSR/restaurants, and retail — to help advertisers gauge campaign performance in specific markets. 

Automotive brands know there is huge potential in CTV advertising. With interactive carousel ads, you can entice buyers by showcasing galleries of beautiful interior and exterior shots of a car model. You can even use dynamic creative optimization (DCO) to interpret data signals to serve the relevant car model to the viewer based on their geolocation. And with advanced measurement tools, automotive brands can ensure they’re maximizing unique reach and minimizing overlap in their CTV advertising campaigns.

Innovid’s new 2024 Advertising Insights Report for Auto gives automotive marketers the fuel to take their CTV and digital advertising where they want it to go. This report, which is based on Innovid’s unparalleled data set, analyzes hundreds of billions of video ad impressions delivered by our ad server in 2023.  

Especially for automotive advertisers, Innovid has an unrivaled window into streaming viewership and video advertising. Our data-driven report offers automotive brands benchmarks and other insights that can help them gauge how well their video ad campaigns are performing. The report also helps auto marketers understand how to connect, engage, measure, and drive outcomes with CTV and digital advertising.
