Why Digital Advertising—and Especially CTV—Matters Now More Than Ever
Digital advertising is constantly evolving, and today’s businesses must engage audiences wherever they spend their time—whether that’s scrolling social media, browsing websites, streaming on OTT services, or watching Connected TV (CTV). With so many channels available, crafting the right mix of social, display, video, and CTV ads is essential to reach your customers effectively.
The Rise of Connected TV (CTV)
One of the biggest game‑changers? Connected TV (CTV). With 84.9% of Americans regularly using CTV and platforms such as Roku, Hulu, Disney, and Netflix, streaming has become the go‑to way people consume content. That big living‑room screen now hosts everything from live events they can’t miss, to video podcasts they listen to while multitasking, and even short‑form videos they scroll through for quick entertainment.
Immersive engagement: CTV ads combine sight, sound, and motion exactly when families gather on the couch
Precision targeting: Leveraging first‑party data, CTV campaigns deliver high‑impact video ads to the viewers most likely to convert
Evolving behavior: As consumers seamlessly search, scroll, shop, and stream across devices, their CTV viewing habits grow more sophisticated
Unlike traditional TV, CTV campaigns can tap into a wide audience alongside enhanced integrations with top platforms like Netflix and Hulu — so you get your brand ads where people are watching now.
Expanding Your Reach Across Platforms
Generate 360’s digital services make it easy and efficient to connect with audiences where they watch most—across blockbusters, live sports like NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube, short‑form video, podcasts, and more—totaling over 5 billion hours of U.S. ad‑supported viewing every month reaching up to 98% of CTV households (source: Comscore). It’s never been simpler to reach people watching high‑quality content, whether locally, regionally, or nationally.
Other premium ad opportunities include: Spotify & Tubi for video and audio ads and Roblox to engage a highly interactive gaming community.
And coming soon: a brand‑new feature for retailers, service companies, and big brands to measure sales impact in both online stores and physical locations.
Harnessing AI‑Powered Tools for the Evolving Consumer Journey
The true game‑changer we see is combining programmatic ads (scalability, flexibility, and dynamic real‑time optimization) with the power of AI—both to predict what will work best and to unlock new possibilities.
Leverage AI‑powered campaigns to:
Build smarter audiences: AI‑assisted targeting ensures you reach the right viewers at the right time
Optimize campaign efficiency: Machine‑learning algorithms dynamically allocate budget to top‑performing placements
Streamline creative production: AI tools generate multiple ad variants tailored to different audience segments
Deliver deeper insights: Advanced management reporting surfaces actionable recommendations for continual optimizations
By adapting to your consumers’ evolving CTV behavior—whether they’re watching their favorite shows, blockbusters, live sports, video podcasts, or scrolling short‑form video clips—your brand stays top of mind throughout the entire streaming ecosystem.
Creative & Technical Best Practices for CTV Success
To maximize the impact of your CTV campaigns, remember:
Short, captivating spots (15–30 seconds) with high production quality perform best and you may want to hire a professional video team
Immediate hooks—grab attention in the first five seconds
Clear CTAs and consistent brand messaging drive action
Interactive elements (on platforms like Roku) can boost engagement even further
Family‑friendly storytelling resonates in co‑viewing environments such as Sling TV
