• What advertisers and publishers hope to get out of their CTV investments

• Challenges advertisers and publishers are facing with CTV adoption

• The truth about CTV quality, transparency and brand suitability 

• What European CTV advertisers can expect over the next few years

Key Findings Include:

• Only 30% of advertisers and publishers have full transparency of CTV ad placements

• 27% never or rarely have insight into the brand suitability of their campaigns

• Less than half of advertisers and publishers use quality verification on CTV

• More than 50% of buyers said that they “always” or “frequently' ' consider CTV when planning or buying media.  This is most prevalent in Central and Eastern Europe.

• Publishers operating a CTV offer are prioritising ‘convincing new buyers to begin advertising on CTV’ to grow their business.
