Make an Impact on Your Target Audience with CTV Advertising in Baltimore

As viewers increasingly access video content through Over-The-Top (OTT) sources instead of a traditional cable subscription, Quantifi Digital can help you reach residents of Baltimore more effectively. Experts believe that the number of American cord-cutters will increase by nearly 20 percent this year, creating an audience of nearly 40 million people that advertisers want to reach. OTT content providers include any service that offers streaming, including subscription-based services like Hulu and content available on mobile apps and websites. Please continue reading to learn more about why streaming advertising should be an integral component of your marketing strategy.

What is CTV?

If you access OTT content on a big screen (either through a smart TV or a separate device), you are said to be using Connected TV, or CTV for short. CTV provides all of the advantages of watching HD television with shorter ad breaks and more control over what and when you watch, so it's easy to see why consumers are flocking to it in droves. Unfortunately for advertisers, this also means that you have to be more creative than buying overpriced TV ad space to succeed in the changing television marketing landscape.

Quantifi Digital is up to this challenge, and we feel that it can actually make advertising easier if you do it correctly. With approximately 200 million people expected to view CTV content in 2020, there is a sizable audience for VOD ads to reach. We can also leverage demographic information like gender and marital status to promote more audience engagement.

Likewise, digital ads are generally unskippable. While traditional TV ads can be skipped more easily than ever before, digital ads can offer in-view rates of 100%.

How does CTV advertising in Baltimore work?

You only need two things to stream video content: a compatible device and an internet connection. Since so many devices are capable of streaming content, finding a compatible machine isn't a problem for most TV viewers. Here are some of the most frequently-used devices:
