Disruption of linear TV a boon for programmatic

Connected TV, or CTV, which refers to everything from movies watched via apps on television to apps offering live TV and traditional DVR capabilities via the Internet, has seen a surge in share of ad spend. This is especially true as more of this connected programming is offered via ad-supported tiers. Programmatic can also bring in more advertisers by making it easier for small and medium sized businesses to buy ad space. AI can drive growth too, allowing businesses to make more effective ad decisions and even helping with campaign content. Jessica Reif Ehrlich also discusses how more targeted CTV ads lead to growth in the format and how there's room for share gains in audio too.
