What happened
Political advertisers are increasingly adopting real-time targeting and optimization on Connected TV (CTV) platforms. However, reports indicate that even highly optimized TV ad campaigns, designed for viewability and completion rates, may still be reaching an empty audience.
Why it matters
While CTV is a dominant viewing platform, with 89 percent of American households streaming CTV and ad spend projected to exceed $36 billion in the US this year, the effectiveness of ad spending is being questioned. This shift is forcing a reevaluation of how political campaigns allocate their media budgets.
