In this episode of How Agencies Thrive, StackAdapt’s Michael Shang chats with Rachel Gantz from Comscore about the mechanics of planning, buying and measuring linear TV vs. connected TV (CTV) advertising, the ton of overlap that exists from a consumer standpoint and how to solve for the problems of media fragmentation.
As a media buyer, it’s imperative to determine how to make the correct business decisions and determine the best strategy forward when it comes to CTV advertising and cross-platform measurement.
“For us for 2020, it’s all about building for the future and the future of advertising is cookie-less and connected TV plays a really big role in it,” says Rachel Gantz, GM, Activation at Comscore. “We spent this year so far, launching solutions to make sure that advertisers have cookie-free ways to reach audiences based on TV and OTT viewership.”
Listen in while Michael and Rachel discuss the impact of COVID on CTV consumption as restrictions on activity have resulted in a major shift from linear TV to CTV. But, as economic activity picks up again, will we see the CTV industry give up these gains? Or will COVID change user behaviour and patterns for good?
