The fact that the holidays are right around the corner just made me realize I'm already somehow behind on planning and preparation this year.

We need to put our oxygen masks on first 😂 #ecommerce #Q4planning #googleads #holidaystrategy #paidsearch

✅🖥️ AdExchanger (6/28): “AdExchanger: What about digital-native brands that want to treat streaming TV like a performance marketing channel? Gartner: Competent performance marketers are starting to embrace streaming, including using it to compare incrementality with the rest of their buys. Their dollars are helping contribute to the maturation of the market. At the same time, there’s a big difference between CTV and over-the-top (OTT). Because OTT encompasses devices other than television sets, like phones and desktops, there’s more signal and attribution there that’ll attract direct response advertisers. People still don’t interrupt their TV viewing sessions very often to go and buy things, but when they do, it’s much more likely to happen on a personal device, not a TV screen. AdExchanger: What streaming trends will dominate for the remainder of the year? Gartner: The digital-native platforms are taking control of connected TV – and it’s not just the new entrants to ad-supported streaming, like Netflix and Prime Video. YouTube’s grip continues to tighten on the CTV market. TV programmers and digital platforms will continue to compete for streaming ad dollars by trying to differentiate themselves. Ad load is an especially big question streamers are trying to tackle right now.” ⬇️ #streaming #ctv #ott #upfronts #avod #fast

✅🖥️ WSJ (7/19): “The streaming company added 8.05MM subs in Q2, compared with 5.89MM net new subs during the same period a year earlier. It expects new customer additions to be lower in the current quarter than the same period last year, when it began limiting password sharing in earnest. Revenue rose nearly 17% year over year to $9.56B in the second quarter, beating the company’s projections. Netflix raised its revenue growth forecast for 2024 to 14% to 15%, up from 13% to 15%. The strong performance is a sign that Netflix’s efforts to change its plan pricing and lineup, limit password sharing and expand the advertising tier of its service are bearing fruit. Netflix continues to lead the pack in streaming as entertainment companies such as Disney and WBD try to balance a decline in revenue and viewership of their traditional TV businesses while investing more in their streaming platforms. It ended the second quarter with 277.65MM customers globally. Netflix on Thursday said it would begin phasing out its lowest-cost, ad-free $11.99 a month basic plan in the U.S. and France. The company made similar moves in Canada and the U.K earlier this year. More than 45% of all sign-ups in countries in which the ad tier is available come from that plan, the company said.In May, the ad-supported plan had 40MM global MAUs, up from 5MM a year ago.” ⬇️ #streamingtv #ctv #ott #avod #svod #upfronts https://lnkd.in/e9su2saE

Happy Debate Day! No denying impressions are moving to CTV/streaming as viewers choose how, when, and where they watch the content they love. Customers having more choice is always a good thing! That being said, there will always be something special about everyone watching at the same time. 🍿🍿 #politicaladvertising #presidentialdebate

✅🖥️ AdExchanger (8/1): “Roku added 2MM HH accounts last quarter, bringing its total to 83.6MM. And advertisers can match these Roku accounts with UID2 identifiers to target their audience on Roku. By adding UID2, Roku advertisers will be able to “achieve more precise targeting,” said Charlie Collier, president of Roku Media. And Roku advertisers who want to use UID2 can use the Roku Exchange, a more direct, data-enriched path between Roku supply and programmatic demand launched in June. Roku Exchange is integrated with an array of DSPs, including The Trade Desk. Roku’s new integration with The Trade Desk is only a couple of months old, Collier said, but “we’re pleased with the progress and we think this will continue to drive demand [to Roku].” ⬇️ #streamingtv #ctv #ott #smarttv #tvos #cordcutting #programmatic https://lnkd.in/ekZP8fna

Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal wrote about how Television Advertising has lost its relevance - but I think they're misreading signals. Television advertising remains incredibly powerful - 60% of consumers in our most recent AD.VANTAGE study told us TV ads helped them make purchase decisions - outpacing all other forms of advertising. The problem? Brands and marketers have stopped knocking each other over to BUY television ads - we need to SELL them again - and most sales teams aren't set up to, you know..... sell.

✅🖥️ AdExchanger (11/8): “Well, without breaking out new revenue metrics, The Trade Desk divulged some interesting tidbits about their business. For instance, while the company doesn’t disclose CTV revenue, CEO Jeff Green said CTV is now the largest media channel for TTD. CTV has flipped the equation on web display and mobile. Similarly, a year ago, Criteo finally reported retargeting revenue as less than half of its total. The Trade Desk is touting its long-held ambition to have more CTV than banner ads. Currently, video ads, which encompass CTV, are close to 50% of TTD’s overall business. Soon, TTD will be primarily a video ad buyer. “It’s hard not to be bullish about CTV when it’s both our largest channel and our fastest growing,” Green said. And while CTV and retail media have been staples of every Trade Desk quarterly report for years on end, Green also put the focus on a few new opportunities, now that CTV has matured into the business, not just a rhetorical goal. The other premium media channel for programmatic to unlock is live sports, Green said. “I expect over the coming years to see programmatic spot markets and sports become best friends,” Green said. Live sports are counterintuitive for programmatic advertising. Those spots tend to have a very high premium and go to sponsors, rather than an open auction. But, Green said, “because (live sports inventory) is often scarce and often highly sought out by brands, and it changes very quickly, it really is built for programmatic advertising.” ⬇️ #streaming #ctv #ott #livesports #avod #fast #tvos

Interesting insight into conversations between Google and publishers, all seemingly focused on yield optimization for their respective organizations with little discussion on improving advertiser campaign performance or return-on-ad-spend. Advertisers investing in programmatic digital media really need to take note of the continued lack of transparency, hidden ad tech fees, and manipulative pricing methodologies that are emblematic of this space and that are sapping their working media dollars.
