Ad Dollars are Following Consumers to Connected TV

With Americans spending even more time at home, it is not surprising that ad dollars are following them into their living rooms. A recent report released by MoffettNathanson Research found that Connected TV ad revenue is expected to reach $8 billion by the end of 2020. This comes with news that video impressions served to CTV platforms rose 40% in Q2 – a consistent trend that has only increased as stay-at-home restrictions continue into the remainder of the year. 

This will only become more apparent as political campaigns continue to utilize Connected TV to advertise their campaign in the upcoming election. Rather than turning to the user-generated content available on social media, a platform that has seen some heavy backlash for political advertisers in the last few years, advertising on Connected TV provides a premium, brand-safe environment. And with the advanced targeting capabilities of this channel, political advertisers can expect to create unique audience segments based on specific demographic criteria – guaranteeing that their ads are getting in front of the right people at the right time.
