We'll Answer These Five Critical TV Advertising Questions At CES

 

It’s safe to say that the world in which television lived or died solely by cable and broadcast is firmly in the past. However, while linear TV is nowhere near extinction, the new, more digital player in town—connected TV (CTV)—continues to shake things up for viewers and advertisers alike. In fact, by 2023 nearly half of US households will not only be CTV users, but will eliminate linear TV completely.

What Marketers Need To Know

Advertisers are facing a new reality—TV is converging. As a result, many are finding it more and more necessary to dip their toe in these new, mysterious programmatic waters. This is evidenced by the fact that approximately 10% of programmatic ad spend is currently going to CTV with no signs of slowing down. 

In other words, the future of TV is here folks; so what’s a TV marketer to do? A famous motto by Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE comes to mind here: “change, before you have to.” After all, the brands that are able to understand how to leverage the reach of linear TV in tandem with the innovation of CTV will undoubtedly be head and shoulders above the rest. All one needs to get started is a little context on what’s happening, how it will impact the industry, and best practices on how to move forward. Innovid, alongside movers and shakers from General Motors, MasterCard, White Castle, Hulu, Roku and more will be discussing these topics extensively at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2020.
