CTV ads offer precise targeting, interactive features, and advanced analytics, allowing advertisers to reach viewers in a personalized and data-driven manner. As traditional TV viewership declines, CTV advertising provides a strategic shift to engage audiences in the evolving landscape of digital streaming.
1. Precision Targeting for Maximum Impact
Connected TV (CTV) ads drive higher video completion rates, impacting both bottom and top-funnel metrics. With precise targeting and engaging features, they capture viewer attention effectively. Leveraging diverse consumer segments and personalized messaging, CTV ads prompt action, enhancing overall campaign performance. A recent study by eMarketer on global CTV ad performance metrics reveals that the video completion rate demonstrates that viewers actively engage with videos lasting up to 90 seconds, boasting an impressive engagement rate of 91%.
Furthermore, the precision targeting capabilities of CTV advertising are reshaping the landscape of viewer engagement. According to eMarketer, the hyper-targeted approach has resulted in a 15% increase in ad engagement compared to traditional TV.
2. Riding the Cord-Cutting Wave & Increase in Global Audience
As traditional TV subscriptions decline, the cord-cutting trend is accelerating. As per Statista, the number of global CTV users is projected to surpass 1.1 billion by 2024. Advertisers are swiftly reallocating budgets to CTV to meet viewers on their preferred platforms, ensuring that the message resonates with the elusive cord-cutting audience.
This shift is not only about reaching a wider audience but also about staying relevant. A study by Nielsen suggests that 65% of consumers feel more connected to brands that engage with them through CTV compared to traditional advertising channels.
3. Cross-Device Reach Amplified
CTV advertising doesn’t stop at the living room. Advertisers can extend their reach seamlessly across multiple devices, from smart TVs to smartphones and tablets. This cross-device approach ensures a comprehensive brand presence. According to a study by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), 68% of consumers are inclined to pay more attention to ads that align with their interests.
The cross-device amplification has led to an 18% increase in brand recall, as reported by a recent survey by Adweek. Advertisers leveraging the flexibility of CTV campaigns are creating a consistent and impactful brand experience across various screens.

According to a study conducted by Neuro-Insight, these immersive experiences are not only captivating but also result in a 22% higher emotional response from viewers. Advertisers are not just conveying a message; they are creating memorable brand experiences that linger in the minds of consumers.
