Reading Time: 3 minutes

2021 was indeed a lucrative year for the advertising industry, with the increased digital consumption and favorable consumer behavior, CTV Advertising recorded skyrocketing views and impressions. A study shows that 69% of people said they are comfortable watching commercials on streaming T.V. since they receive access to high-quality T.V. series and films. Even though people are returning to pre-pandemic behaviors, the digital consumption habit is bound to stick around. 


All of this suggests that the year 2022 will indeed be the year of CTV advertising. According to e-marketer, by 2022, there will be 204.1 million connected TV users, representing 60.1 percent of the population. This brings another opportunity to engage and connect with more users. Brands already investing in CTV will have to focus more on strategies and tactics to get the most favorable results and brands not at all investing in CTV would really need to begin with the same.

CTV Advertising Strategies and trends to look out for in 2022:

Premium Inventory Option for CTV Advertisers

With a rise in TV streaming options available nowadays, there are many choices available in front of the advertisers to select for their ads to run. It is crucial to ensure that their ad campaigns are running effectively and accurately.

Within open exchanges, there is little control over where the ad runs and there is a concern for brand safety and transparency. This calls for working with a premium aggregator that provides a connection to brand-safety premium inventories, which works as an optimal path for advertisers. VDO.AI  provides advertisers an end-to-end platform and team of experts along with proprietary technology and creative strategy to ensure that your campaign succeeds.

First-party data will be key to greater customer experience

Given that we will soon be a part of a cookieless world, the importance of first-party data will be immense. First-party data will help advertisers provide a better experience for their customers. CTV provides advertisers a brand-safe environment and a safe harbor for high-impact campaigns accompanied by data and targeting.
