Viewers have more choice and control over their TV consumption than ever before. Marketers can reach new and previously untapped audiences effectively, at unprecedented scale. As connected TV becomes more sophisticated, it offers a major growth channel for marketing companies to engage audiences who are no longer watching linear broadcast TV. Richer data and insights allow the right people to be targeted – and prove the return on investment.
And alongside technological innovation comes wider change: “The pandemic has had a huge impact on the TV market, as seen by the commercial broadcasters making big changes to their teams, the content streaming wars intensifying, and the many direct-to-consumer brands that advertised on TV for the first time last year,” says Omar Oakes, media and technology editor at ±±¾©Èü³µpk10.
He will be hosting a Q&A session broadcasting on 31 March, in partnership with The Trade Desk, focussing on how your brands can unlock the potential of our golden age of TV.
