All about CTV
The rise of Connected TV, or CTV, is changing the way audiences consume content. According to IAB Compass, a massive 66% of UK households now watch TV via CTV devices, enjoying the freedom and flexibility that streaming offers. The adoption and growth of streaming platforms, coupled with the fragmented nature of CTV viewership, presents an exciting opportunity for advertisers to showcase their brand in a highly engaged and premium environment. Indeed, according to IAB Digital Adspend 2023, which measured the size of the UK digital advertising market, spend on CTV rose 21% YoY to £1.17bn.
At the IAB, the CTV Group's role is to bring together key players, facilitate collaboration, provide education, and aid standardisation within the CTV channel. From IAB Compass to Digital Upfronts, learn more about our CTV work below - including how your company can get involved.
