“Advanced TV has tech stacks and business processes that evolved separately to serve the needs, characteristics, and capabilities of the linear TV (e.g., broadcast and MVPD) and digital video (e.g., OTT, AVOD). As marketers and agencies want more cross-platform campaign planning, activation and evaluation, these stacks and business processes must work better together. Capital investment, innovation and change is coming to the local TV marketplace and trading in data-driven audience targeting, or Advanced TV, solutions. These are the important topics we are analyzing in this latest installment of reports on advanced TV.”
