As viewer consumption behaviours continue to drift towards digital platforms, so has ad spend. Advertisers now expect to be able to reach their core audience through efficient, cost-effective, and data-driven tactics — on any device. Not that long ago, these innate advantages of digital advertising were unavailable within the traditional TV broadcast environment.
The introduction of Addressable TV (ATV) advertising changed all of that. Today, brands of any size are able to launch targeted TV ad campaigns — within premium TV content — using the same data-driven tactics they apply to their digital campaigns.
ATV advertising is gaining momentum across Europe, yet remains an underutilised strategy for advertisers. Broadcasters have heard the demands of advertisers: digital access to premium linear content and reach, standardised measurement and reporting, and seamless, data-driven buying options.
smartclip has published a comprehensive white paper, entitled “Addressable TV Advertising: New Opportunities for International Advertisers to Reach European Audiences”, which provides a framework for advertisers based on the results of an extensive in-house analysis. This publication compliments the broadcaster-focused white paper released in 2020.
The new research specifically focuses on the demand side and provides advertisers and agencies with a detailed overview of the latest Addressable TV advertising developments across Europe. Brands and agencies can learn more about how to successfully buy and apply Addressable TV advertising to their media strategy. The research bundles findings from interviews with executives from leading companies such as Atresmedia, MediaCom, M6 Publicité, RTL AdConnect, Ad Alliance, Masmovil, Nissan, and Amobee, who make use of Addressable TV advertising solutions to varying extents.
Highlights from the white paper:
- Understand the challenges of defining Addressable TV, and learn exactly what Addressable TV is from a technology versus a media sales perspective
- Gain insight into the state of Addressable TV advertising across European TV markets, including local trends and opportunities, hurdles, and future predictions.
