Connected TV (CTV), is a smart TV, smartphone, desktop, tablet or any device that is connected to the internet and facilitates the delivery of streaming video content.
A CTV connects to the internet through built-in capabilities or an external “over-the-top” (OTT) device that enables a standard TV set to become a Connected TV.
A :15 to :30 video ad is similar to a pre-roll ad on desktop, laptop or smartphone, but the user experience is comparable to traditional TV.
Video advertising on Connected TV occurs during the in-app experience. Ex: When a Connected TV user opens an app to watch an episode of The Lone Ranger, a video ad would play prior to or during the content.
Connected TV devices have seen an incredible surge in popularity, with a massive 164 million U.S users taking advantage of the video content available – making CTV advertising ready to dominate traditional television as brands and advertisers look for new ways to engage audiences!
