The TV advertising market is in a period of upheaval. Streaming has already been ascendant, but the convergence of traditional TV and streaming has been catalyzed by linear TV’s limited ad availability and Nielsen’s measurement mess. Meanwhile, streaming-only ad sellers have stepped up their pitches, even staking bigger positions in the annual upfront marketplace, as have TV network owners that have rolled out a raft of streaming-only properties over the past two years.
This flattening phase of what’s considered TV presents advertisers with some good problems to have. With audiences fragmenting between TV and streaming and even within streaming, how can advertisers ensure they are reaching enough of the right audience? With streaming lowering the barrier to entry to the TV screen for digital advertisers and enabling narrower targeting and more refined measurement, how must advertisers as a whole adjust their approaches? If people are watching everything from NFL games to YouTube videos on connected TV screens, what should an advertiser consider to be TV and, more importantly, what is a TV ad impression worth?
At Digiday’s Business of TV forum, hear from top executives as they discuss how they are adapting to the TV ad market’s transformation.
Please note: The health and safety of attendees is our top priority which is why we’re requiring proof of vaccination prior to the event and masks to be worn indoors. You can find more about our Covid protocols here.

I hate to admit this, but we’re all wrong. It’s time to hit the pause button and question the assumptions that are driving our industry’s approach to television spend. Are people really consuming CTV/Streaming Services the way we think they are? Do we really understand how they decide what to watch? Have we taken the time to ask those driving media, the youth, what they want? ENGINE went out and asked the hard questions and it’s time for a real conversation on the future of media consumption. This candid (and let’s face it brutally honest) fireside chat with ENGINE Global Chief Commercial Officer, Scott Schiller will cover what we need to know to prepare for the future of TV in 2022 and beyond.

TV advertising has evolved to be more digital-like, presenting brands with new opportunities to maximize reach. With various ways to buy TV, which one should brands choose? The answer: data-driven linear TV. In the next year, 58% of advertisers in the US plan to increase data-driven linear spending (DDL), according to Xandr’s 2021 Relevance Report. In this session, you’ll hear from Xandr’s VP of Research for Invest TV and Monetize TV, Pete Doe, on the different TV buying options available, why data-driven linear is a smarter approach, and how advancements in tech make data-driven linear buying as easy as demo.
