In our increasingly-connected world, you have more—and more varied—opportunities than ever to connect with your customers. The newest kids on the advertising block are new spins on old classics: Connected TV (CTV) and over-the-top programming (OTT) provide a similar experience to traditional TV advertising on the customer’s end, while giving advertisers (and their clients) greater opportunities to reach audiences where they are. However, these new formats don’t come without their challenges, including greater market fragmentation than with linear TV, similar challenges in attributing marketing, and others.

However, we think CTV buys are worth it - that’s why we have a dedicated Streaming TV Advertising department at Click Here Digital. Here we’ll show you four of the best reasons for adding CTV and OTT to your advertising mix.

1. Real-Time Metrics with CTV

Even though CTV and linear TV—that’s “traditional” television vectors, like cable or satellite—have superficial similarities, they provide vastly different capabilities for brands and advertisers in terms of audience reach and programmatic advertising.

With a CTV campaign, you’re able to assess progress against goals and view metrics in real time, much like other types of digital advertising, like display, search engine marketing, and others. Click Here Digital makes it easy to incorporate your CTV strategy with the rest of your ad spend, making your budget even more performant and leading to more conversions.

2. CTV/OTT Streaming is the Fastest-Growing Channel in Advertising

While CTV had been growing before COVID-19 hit, the pandemic’s lock downs accelerated the existing trends in CTV penetration in households across the country. In a survey done this summer, Leichtman Research Group found that 39% of all adults watch video daily on a connected TV device, and at least 60% do at least once a week. There’s no signs this trend will slow down anytime soon, and in fact more people are “cutting the cord,” or removing linear TV from their media mix altogether.

This means that it’s more important than ever to partner with a firm who can get you onto CTV and OTT marketing channels. Your products need to make it to market to sell and, in the Internet-connected future, the market is moving online.

Click Here Digital has made big investments in our CTV stack, including access to DV360, Google’s premier video advertising platform that allows us to fine-tune your ads to find the customer most likely to engage, and eventually turn into a conversion.

3. Direct Integration with OTT Providers

Of course, OTT isn’t without its unique challenges. The space is currently going through a lot of fragmentation due to the piecemeal nature of channel subscriptions, the provenance of subscription sharing, the panoply of CTV devices, and more. However even problems like these have upsides. We’re able to develop much closer relationships with the channels broadcasting your ads to your customer, for one thing: Click Here has relationships with brands as diverse as ESPN, Roku, Pandora, Apple TV, CBS, and YouTube, and we can get your ads onto viewers’ Amazon Fire TVs, Chromecasts, and Roku players; in their YouTube and Pandora feeds; and so much more.
