Navigating the complex landscape of streaming TV advertising can be daunting. A critical question marketers face is: “Where do you want your ads to appear?” Although it may appear straightforward, the fast expansion of streaming TV options shows how complex this task really is. According to this article, an approximately 85% of U.S. households have at least one video streaming service in their homes leading Americans to stream over 143 billion minutes of video per week in recent years.

FAMILIAR INVENTORY VS DIGITAL ALGORITHMS

In this vast realm of streaming TV advertising, advertisers need to decide if they should proceed with familiar inventory or should rely on digital algorithms to find the optimal placements. The answer lies in a strategic approach.

While personal preferences matter, it’s essential to recognize that we are not our consumers. Moreover, while digital algorithms are powerful, they should be guided by strategic limitations. Simpli.fi’s Streaming TV Tiers provides tailored options for CTV buyers to meet your specific needs.
