Unified Audience Measurement (UAM) Currency  Within the unified total audience measurement currency, our trust and transparency goals help ensure that quality inventory is consumer first and privacy first by identifying privacy scored inventory in our research.  While there was some debate at the recent Future of TV Advertising event in Sydney around how we define CTV and what viewing falls within the CTV landscape, for example, YouTube, a clear takeaway is that as an industry we must align on how we define total TV audiences within a CTV ecosystem.  There’s a huge sense of urgency within the industry to get measurement right so CTV can attract the ad dollars it deserves. But for any currency to actually work, there needs to be interoperability between big data sets. Advertisers want their measurement providers to give them accurate reach and frequency tied to outcomes.  Buyers want advanced audiences rather than demographics-based audiences. The buy side and the ...

  Ad Loads for Optimising In-Stream and Out-Stream Video Ads In September, we published the IAB Tech Lab guidelines for digital video and connected TV ad formats, and these guidelines introduced a new distinguishing characteristic that separates in-stream and out-stream video ads.  The coming year promises significant change and equally significant growth for advertising-based streaming services. Programmatic CTV advertising is set to benefit from this growth – if CTV services and advertisers can take advantage of the major trends. Ad loads on AVOD services have historically been lower than traditional linear television ad loads.  That’s going to change somewhat in 2023, as more advertisers turn their attention – and their ad budgets – to streaming services. To accommodate a growing number of advertisers, some AVOD services will increase the number of ad slots available, while remaining below linear TV’s oppressive ad load.  The automation of CTV advertising will ...

Programmatically sold advertising on connected TV is expected to reach $155 billion in 2021 and is forecast to grow to $323 billion globally by 2025, accounting for nearly three quarters of the global programmatic spending. Programmatic advertising refers to the automated buying and selling of digital ad space. In contrast to manual advertising, which relies on human interaction and negotiation between publishers and marketers, programmatic ad buying harnesses technology to purchase digital display space. The use of software and algorithms helps streamline the ad buying process on connected TV. With today's technology and the rise of streaming, the CTV experience is significantly more advanced than ever, with more brands preparing to execute with programmatic.  Broadcasters have been on this transformational journey too, with their transition to programmatic and launching new AVOD offerings. Because the process is automated and the maximum price each advertiser is willing to bid fo...
