EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Planning and executing a TV campaign used to be simple. Regardless of what inventory you
bought, the mechanics were generally the same. Deals were guaranteed on a demo CPM and
they would be measured and reported by Nielsen. Creative trafficking was usually pain-free.
Time-shifting disrupted things a bit, but Commercial ratings and VOD helped buyers cope with the
diminishing supply of live rating points.
But now, as a confluence of factors have brought upon us Advanced TV, we are faced with a TV
industry that’s more complex than ever. Addressable TV has been around for a number of years
now, but with the advent of OTT devices and new streaming services popping up all the time,
we as an industry are starting to view this opportunity in a new light—as part of a bigger push
to eliminate wasted impressions, garner insights into TV campaigns, and finally tie exposures
to outcomes for true attribution. Fueled by data, this new landscape goes beyond the age/sex
demographic and into targetability and granularity in a very digital-like manner.
However, despite the obvious benefits there is still confusion in the marketplace as to how each
are transacted, measured, and trafficked differently. The goal of this reference guide is to bring
clarity to this space so that when there are conversations between the buy and sell side (and
everyone in between) everyone is starting with the same basic level of understanding.
We have attempted to collect “just the facts” and organized this chart so that it starts with
Traditional Linear TV and becomes increasingly ‘advanced’ along the way. The chart becomes
more addressable, more data-infused, more on-demand, and more digital as you move from
left to right. This guide will aid you in determining which avenues make the most sense for your
brand. Grouped into five sections, you will gain an understanding into the transactional nature of
each, the state of measurement, and even how the ads themselves are trafficked.
Given today’s rapid pace of change, we expect to be making updates to this document
as the Advanced TV space continues to evolve. Please read this as an invitation to join the
conversation with us.
